Automated transtibial prosthesis alignment: A systematic review.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
This comprehensive systematic review critically analyzes the current progress and challenges in automating transtibial prosthesis alignment. The manual identification of alignment changes in prostheses has been found to lack reliability, necessitatin...

Universal optimal design in the vertebrate limb pattern and lessons for bioinspired design.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper broadly summarizes the variation of design features found in vertebrate limbs and analyses the resultant versatility and multifunctionality in order to make recommendations for bioinspired robotics. The vertebrate limb pattern (e.g. should...

Smart ArM: a customizable and versatile robotic arm prosthesis platform for Cybathlon and research.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In the last decade, notable progress in mechatronics paved the way for a new generation of arm prostheses, expanding motor capabilities thanks to their multiple active joints. Yet, the design of control schemes for these advanced devices ...

Robotic-Enhanced Prosthetic Liners for Vibration Therapy: Reducing Phantom Limb Pain in Transfemoral Amputees.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Phantom limb pain, a common challenge for amputees, lacks effective treatment options. Vibration therapy is a promising non-pharmacologic intervention for reducing pain intensity, but its efficacy in alleviating phantom limb pain requires further inv...

Vision-aided grasp classification: design and evaluation of compact CNN for prosthetic hands.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
Powered prosthetic hands capable of executing various grasp patterns are highly sought-after solutions for upper limb amputees. A crucial requirement for such prosthetic hands is the accurate identification of the intended grasp pattern and subsequen...

Developing RPC-Net: Leveraging High-Density Electromyography and Machine Learning for Improved Hand Position Estimation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the performance of RPC-Net (Recursive Prosthetic Control Network), a novel method using simple neural network architectures to translate electromyographic activity into hand position wi...

Deep Learning for Enhanced Prosthetic Control: Real-Time Motor Intent Decoding for Simultaneous Control of Artificial Limbs.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The development of advanced prosthetic devices that can be seamlessly used during an individual's daily life remains a significant challenge in the field of rehabilitation engineering. This study compares the performance of deep learning architecture...

Robotic Leg Prosthesis: A Survey From Dynamic Model to Adaptive Control for Gait Coordination.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Gait coordination (GC), meaning that one leg moves in the same pattern but with a specific phase lag to the other, is a spontaneous behavior in the walking of a healthy person. It is also crucial for unilateral amputees with the robotic leg prosthesi...

Advancements in MXene-based composites for electronic skins.

Journal of materials chemistry. B
MXenes are a class of two-dimensional (2D) materials that have gained significant attention in the field of electronic skins (E-skins). MXene-based composites offer several advantages for E-skins, including high electrical conductivity, mechanical fl...
