Robotics in Arthroplasty: A Comprehensive Review.

The Journal of arthroplasty
Robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery has been available clinically in some form for over 2 decades, claiming to improve total joint arthroplasty by enhancing the surgeon's ability to reproduce alignment and therefore better restore normal kinematics. ...

A biologically-inspired multi-joint soft exosuit that can reduce the energy cost of loaded walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Carrying load alters normal walking, imposes additional stress to the musculoskeletal system, and results in an increase in energy consumption and a consequent earlier onset of fatigue. This phenomenon is largely due to increased work req...

Classifying Force Spectroscopy of DNA Pulling Measurements Using Supervised and Unsupervised Machine Learning Methods.

Journal of chemical information and modeling
Dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) measurements on biomolecules typically require classifying thousands of repeated force spectra prior to data analysis. Here, we study classification of atomic force microscope-based DFS measurements using machine-lear...

Neural Data-Driven Musculoskeletal Modeling for Personalized Neurorehabilitation Technologies.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVES: The development of neurorehabilitation technologies requires the profound understanding of the mechanisms underlying an individual's motor ability and impairment. A major factor limiting this understanding is the difficulty of bridging be...

Characterisation and evaluation of soft elastomeric actuators for hand assistive and rehabilitation applications.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Various hand exoskeletons have been proposed for the purposes of providing assistance in activities of daily living and rehabilitation exercises. However, traditional exoskeletons are made of rigid components that impede the natural movement of joint...

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...

Sequencing bilateral robot-assisted arm therapy and constraint-induced therapy improves reach to press and trunk kinematics in patients with stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The combination of robot-assisted therapy (RT) and a modified form of constraint-induced therapy (mCIT) shows promise for improving motor function of patients with stroke. However, whether the changes of motor control strategies are conco...

Robot Guided 'Pen Skill' Training in Children with Motor Difficulties.

PloS one
Motor deficits are linked to a range of negative physical, social and academic consequences. Haptic robotic interventions, based on the principles of sensorimotor learning, have been shown previously to help children with motor problems learn new mov...

Sex-based differences in knee ligament biomechanics during robotically simulated athletic tasks.

Journal of biomechanics
ACL injury rates are greater in female athletes than their male counterparts. As female athletes are at increased risk, it is important to understand the underlying mechanics that contribute to this sex bias. The purpose of this investigation was to ...

Predicting ground contact events for a continuum of gait types: An application of targeted machine learning using principal component analysis.

Gait & posture
An ongoing challenge in the application of gait analysis to clinical settings is the standardized detection of temporal events, with unobtrusive and cost-effective equipment, for a wide range of gait types. The purpose of the current study was to inv...
