Timing of intermittent torque control with wire-driven gait training robot lifting toe trajectory for trip avoidance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait training robots are useful for changing gait patterns and decreasing risk of trip. Previous research has reported that decreasing duration of the assistance or guidance of the robot is beneficial for efficient gait training. Although robotic int...

Motor adaptation to lateral pelvis assistance force during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The goal of this study was to determine how individuals post-stroke response to the lateral assistance force applied to the pelvis during treadmill walking. Ten individuals post chronic (> 6 months) stroke were recruited to participate in this study....

Toward goal-oriented robotic gait training: The effect of gait speed and stride length on lower extremity joint torques.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted gait training is becoming increasingly common to support recovery of walking function after neurological injury. How to formulate controllers capable of promoting desired features in gait, i.e. goals, is complicated by the limited unde...

Biomechanical effects of robot assisted walking on knee joint kinematics and muscle activation pattern.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Since manual rehabilitation therapy can be taxing for both the patient and the physiotherapist, a gait rehabilitation robot has been built to reduce the physical strain and increase the efficacy of the rehabilitation therapy. The prototype of the gai...

Convolutional neural network-based automatic classification of midsagittal tongue gestural targets using B-mode ultrasound images.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Tongue gestural target classification is of great interest to researchers in the speech production field. Recently, deep convolutional neural networks (CNN) have shown superiority to standard feature extraction techniques in a variety of domains. In ...

Robot-induced perturbations of human walking reveal a selective generation of motor adaptation.

Science robotics
The processes underlying the generation of motor adaptation in response to mechanical perturbations during human walking have been subject to debate. We used a robotic system to apply mechanical perturbations to step length and step height over conse...

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of different intensity treadmill training on the repair of micro-injured Achilles tendon induced by collagenase in rats.

Spinal Tissue Loading Created by Different Methods of Spinal Manipulative Therapy Application.

Spine
STUDY DESIGN: Comparative study using robotic replication of spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) vertebral kinematics together with serial dissection.

Restoring speech following total removal of the larynx by a learned transformation from sensor data to acoustics.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Total removal of the larynx may be required to treat laryngeal cancer: speech is lost. This article shows that it may be possible to restore speech by sensing movement of the remaining speech articulators and use machine learning algorithms to derive...

Influence of Spinal Manipulative Therapy Force Magnitude and Application Site on Spinal Tissue Loading: A Biomechanical Robotic Serial Dissection Study in Porcine Motion Segments.

Journal of manipulative and physiological therapeutics
OBJECTIVE: In order to define the relation between spinal manipulative therapy (SMT) input parameters and the distribution of load within spinal tissues, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of force magnitude and application site whe...
