Reducing Upper-Limb Muscle Effort with Model-Based Gravity Compensation During Robot-Assisted Movement.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Clinical research has demonstrated that stroke patients benefit from active participation during robot-assisted training. However, the weight of the arm impedes the execution of tasks and movements due to the functional disability. The purpose of thi...

Hidden Markov model-based similarity measure (HMM-SM) for gait quality assessment of lower-limb prosthetic users using inertial sensor signals.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Gait quality indices, such as the Gillette Gait Index or Gait Profile Score (GPS), can provide clinicians with objective, straightforward measures to quantify gait pathology and monitor changes over time. However, these methods often requ...

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
To solve the safety problems caused by the restriction of interaction space and the singular configuration of rehabilitation robot in terminal traction upper limb rehabilitation training, a trajectory planning and tracking control scheme for rehabili...

Exploring the Influence of Feature Selection Methods on a Random Forest Model for Gait Time Series Prediction Using Inertial Measurement Units.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Despite the increasing use of inertial measurement units (IMUs) and machine learning techniques for gait analysis, there remains a gap in which feature selection methods are best tailored for gait time series prediction. This study explores the impac...

[Three-dimensional human-robot mechanics modeling for dual-arm nursing-care robot transfer based on individualized musculoskeletal multibody dynamics].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
During transfer tasks, the dual-arm nursing-care robot require a human-robot mechanics model to determine the balance region to support the patient safely and stably. Previous studies utilized human-robot two-dimensional static equilibrium models, ig...

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Neurosurgery demands high precision, and robotic-assisted systems are increasingly employed to enhance surgical outcomes. This study focuses on a hybrid robotic-assisted system for neurosurgery, addressing forward and inverse kinematics, ...

Clustering and classification of early knee osteoarthritis using machine-learning analysis of step-up and down test kinematics in recreational table tennis players.

PeerJ
OBJECTIVE: Early detection of knee osteoarthritis is crucial for improving patient outcomes. While conventional imaging methods often fail to detect early changes and require specialized expertise for interpretation, this study aimed to investigate t...

An active machine learning framework for automatic boxing punch recognition and classification using upper limb kinematics.

PloS one
Boxing punch type classification and kinematic analysis are essential for coaches and athletes, providing critical insights into punch variety and effectiveness, which are vital for performance improvement. Existing methods for punch recognition and ...

Optimizing Stroke Detection Using Evidential Networks and Uncertainty-Based Refinement.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Evaluating neurological impairments post-stroke is essential for assessing treatment efficacy and managing subsequent disabilities. Conventional clinical assessment methods depend largely on clinicians' visual and physical evaluations, resulting in c...

Spines and Inclines: Bioinspired Spines on an Insect-Scale Robot Facilitate Locomotion on Rough and Inclined Terrain.

Integrative and comparative biology
To navigate complex terrains, insects use diverse tarsal structures (adhesive pads, claws, spines) to reliably attach to and locomote across substrates. This includes surfaces of variable roughness and inclination, which often require reliable transi...
