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...

An all-joint-control master device for single-port laparoscopic surgery robots.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Robots for single-port laparoscopic surgery (SPLS) typically have all of their joints located inside abdomen during surgery, whereas with the da Vinci system, only the tip part of the robot arm is inserted and manipulated. A typical master d...

Vision-Based Pose Estimation for Robot-Mediated Hand Telerehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Vision-based Pose Estimation (VPE) represents a non-invasive solution to allow a smooth and natural interaction between a human user and a robotic system, without requiring complex calibration procedures. Moreover, VPE interfaces are gaining momentum...

Hand synergies: Integration of robotics and neuroscience for understanding the control of biological and artificial hands.

Physics of life reviews
The term 'synergy' - from the Greek synergia - means 'working together'. The concept of multiple elements working together towards a common goal has been extensively used in neuroscience to develop theoretical frameworks, experimental approaches, and...

A geometric method for computing ocular kinematics and classifying gaze events using monocular remote eye tracking in a robotic environment.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic and virtual-reality systems offer tremendous potential for improving assessment and rehabilitation of neurological disorders affecting the upper extremity. A key feature of these systems is that visual stimuli are often presented ...

Single-Grasp Object Classification and Feature Extraction with Simple Robot Hands and Tactile Sensors.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Classical robotic approaches to tactile object identification often involve rigid mechanical grippers, dense sensor arrays, and exploratory procedures (EPs). Though EPs are a natural method for humans to acquire object information, evidence also exis...

Predicting manual arm strength: A direct comparison between artificial neural network and multiple regression approaches.

Journal of biomechanics
In ergonomics, strength prediction has typically been accomplished using linked-segment biomechanical models, and independent estimates of strength about each axis of the wrist, elbow and shoulder joints. It has recently been shown that multiple regr...

Assessment of knee laxity using a robotic testing device: a comparison to the manual clinical knee examination.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to collect knee laxity data using a robotic testing device. The data collected were then compared to the results obtained from manual clinical examination.

A Fuzzy Integral Ensemble Method in Visual P300 Brain-Computer Interface.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
We evaluate the possibility of application of combination of classifiers using fuzzy measures and integrals to Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) based on electroencephalography. In particular, we present an ensemble method that can be applied to a varie...
