Using Recurrent Neural Networks to Compare Movement Patterns in ADHD and Normally Developing Children Based on Acceleration Signals from the Wrist and Ankle.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects, among other things, the movement patterns of children suffering it. Inattention, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors, major symptoms characterizing ...

A Battery-Powered Ankle Exoskeleton Improves Gait Mechanics in a Feasibility Study of Individuals with Cerebral Palsy.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Neuromuscular impairment associated with cerebral palsy (CP) often leads to life-long walking deficits. Our goal was to evaluate the ability of a novel untethered wearable ankle exoskeleton to reduce the severity of gait pathology from CP. In this cl...

Robust water-fat separation for multi-echo gradient-recalled echo sequence using convolutional neural network.

Magnetic resonance in medicine
PURPOSE: To accurately separate water and fat signals for bipolar multi-echo gradient-recalled echo sequence using a convolutional neural network (CNN).

Comparison of the human-exosuit interaction using ankle moment and ankle positive power inspired walking assistance.

Journal of biomechanics
Previous ankle exoskeleton assistance techniques that were able to demonstrate metabolic reductions can be categorized into those that delivered moment profiles similar to the biological ankle moment throughout the stance phase, and others that deliv...

O 089 - A soft robotic exosuit assisting the paretic ankle in patients post-stroke: Effect on muscle activation during overground walking.

Gait & posture
This study compared overground walking with and without exosuit assistance in post-stroke patients. Exosuit-assisted walking was found to improve paretic propulsion and ground clearance during swing, two common gait deviations in stroke patients. No ...

Development of a New Robotic Ankle Rehabilitation Platform for Hemiplegic Patients after Stroke.

Journal of healthcare engineering
A large amount of hemiplegic survivors are suffering from motor impairment. Ankle rehabilitation exercises act an important role in recovering patients' walking ability after stroke. Currently, patients mainly perform ankle exercise to reobtain range...

Towards Optimal Platform-Based Robot Design for Ankle Rehabilitation: The State of the Art and Future Prospects.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This review aims to compare existing robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techniques in terms of robot design. Included studies mainly consist of selected papers in two published reviews involving a variety of robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techn...

Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke.

The Journal of experimental biology
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance - walking subtasks critical for safe and ef...

A machine learning approach to detect changes in gait parameters following a fatiguing occupational task.

Ergonomics
The purpose of this study is to provide a method for classifying non-fatigued vs. fatigued states following manual material handling. A method of template matching pattern recognition for feature extraction ($1 Recognizer) along with the support vect...

Reviewing Clinical Effectiveness of Active Training Strategies of Platform-Based Ankle Rehabilitation Robots.

Journal of healthcare engineering
OBJECTIVE: This review aims to provide a systematical investigation of clinical effectiveness of active training strategies applied in platform-based ankle robots.
