Clinical usefulness and validity of robotic measures of reaching movement in hemiparetic stroke patients.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Various robotic technologies have been developed recently for objective and quantitative assessment of movement. Among them, robotic measures derived from a reaching task in the KINARM Exoskeleton device are characterized by their potenti...

Robust Machine Learning-Based Correction on Automatic Segmentation of the Cerebellum and Brainstem.

PloS one
Automated segmentation is a useful method for studying large brain structures such as the cerebellum and brainstem. However, automated segmentation may lead to inaccuracy and/or undesirable boundary. The goal of the present study was to investigate w...

On the effect of walking surface stiffness on inter-limb coordination in human walking: toward bilaterally informed robotic gait rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic devices have been utilized in gait rehabilitation but have only produced moderate results when compared to conventional physiotherapy. Because bipedal walking requires neural coupling and dynamic interactions between the legs, a f...

Smart and Assistive Walker - ASBGo: Rehabilitation Robotics: A Smart-Walker to Assist Ataxic Patients.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Locomotion is an important human faculty that affects an individual's life, bringing not only physical and psychosocial implications but also heavy social-economic consequences. Thus, it becomes paramount to find means (augmentative/assistive devices...

Development of a knowledge translation platform for ataxia: Impact on readers and volunteer contributors.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Dissemination of accurate health research information to patients and families has become increasingly important with the rise of the internet as a means of finding health information. However, the public faces several barriers to accessi...

Detection of ataxia in low disability MS patients by hybrid convolutional neural networks based on images of plantar pressure distribution.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to detect ataxia in patients with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) with a deep learning-based approach based on images showing plantar pressure distribution of the patients. The secondary aim of the study was to investigate an a...

The Effects of Over-Ground Robot-Assisted Gait Training for Children with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Poor balance and ataxic gait are major impediments to independent living in ataxic cerebral palsy (CP). Robot assisted-gait training (RAGT) has been shown to improve the postural balance and gait function in children with CP. However, there is no rep...

Video-Based Deep Learning to Detect Dyssynergic Defecation with 3D High-Definition Anorectal Manometry.

Digestive diseases and sciences
BACKGROUND: We developed a deep learning algorithm to evaluate defecatory patterns to identify dyssynergic defecation using 3-dimensional high definition anal manometry (3D-HDAM).

Analysis of static plantar pressure data with capsule networks: Diagnosing ataxia in MS patients with a deep learning-based approach.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
In this study, it was aimed to detect ataxia in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by utilizing static plantar pressure data and capsule networks (CapsNet), one of the deep learning (DL) architectures. CapsNet is also equipped with a robust dynami...
