Hip Hiking Gait Improvement with Electrohydraulic Robotic Knee: Preliminary Results.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Individuals with Transfemoral Amputation (TFA) usually exhibit hip hiking walking with passive prostheses due to insufficient knee flexion. Powered knee prostheses can provide net-positive energy in the knee joint with improved gait symmetry. However...

Design and Development of 8-DoF Forearm Rehabilitation Device.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic systems for rehabilitating forearm have been an active area of research. A majority of the daily living activities require the use of the forearm significantly, and hence affecting the quality of life of the patient if not rehabilitated promp...

Assessing the Physical Impact of Supernumerary Limbs on a Human Subject: A Simulation Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Wearable robotic systems physically interact with the human user, and it may alternate human body states. It has been studied to exploit the dynamics of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) to assist human balancing by constructing a closed-chain. Howe...

Towards Non-Invasive Swallowing Assessment: an AI-Powered Interface for Swallowing Kinematic Analysis using High-Resolution Cervical Auscultation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Swallowing is a pivotal physiological function for human sustenance and hydration. Dysfunctions, termed dysphagia, necessitate prompt and precise diagnosis. Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) remain the gold standard for swallowing assessmen...

Temporal Convolutional Network for Gait Event Detection.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this study, we propose a novel deep learning-based framework for automatic gait event detection (GED) in diverse and complex walking scenarios, aiming to address the challenge of accurately identifying biomechanical markers linked to movement diso...

Force/position tracking control of fracture reduction robot based on nonlinear disturbance observer and neural network.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: For the fracture reduction robot, the position tracking accuracy and compliance are affected by dynamic loads from muscle stretching, uncertainties in robot dynamics models, and various internal and external disturbances.

ERegPose: An explicit regression based 6D pose estimation for snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Accurately estimating the 6D pose of snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments is challenging due to their complex kinematics and flexible design.

Pressure-Based Soft Agents.

Artificial life
Biological agents have bodies that are composed mostly of soft tissue. Researchers have resorted to soft bodies to investigate Artificial Life (ALife)-related questions; similarly, a new era of soft-bodied robots has just begun. Nevertheless, because...

[A study of cognitive impairment quantitative assessment method based on gait characteristics].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common and serious form of elderly dementia, but early detection and treatment of mild cognitive impairment can help slow down the progression of dementia. Recent studies have shown that there is a relationship between o...

A Comparative Study of Machine Learning and Algorithmic Approaches to Automatically Identify the Yield Point in Normal and Aneurysmal Human Aortic Tissues.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
The stress-strain curve of biological soft tissues helps characterize their mechanical behavior. The yield point on this curve is when a specimen breaches its elastic range due to irreversible microstructural damage. The yield point is easily found u...
