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...

Muscle co-contraction patterns in robot-mediated force field learning to guide specific muscle group training.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Muscle co-contraction is a strategy of increasing movement accuracy and stability employed in dealing with force perturbation of movement. It is often seen in neuropathological populations. The direction of movement influences the pattern...

Improved grasp function with transcranial direct current stimulation in chronic spinal cord injury.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Recovering hand function has important implications for improving independence of patients with tetraplegia after traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI). Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a noninvasive neuromodulation techniqu...

The potential of iRest in measuring the hand function performance of stroke patients.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
BACKGROUND: Clinical scales such as Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Motor Assessment Scale (MAS) are widely used to evaluate stroke patient's motor performance. However, there are several limitations with these assessment scales such as subjectivity,...

Classification of squat quality with inertial measurement units in the single leg squat mobility test.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many assessment and diagnosis protocols in rehabilitation, orthopedic surgery and sports medicine rely on mobility tests like the Single Leg Squat (SLS). In this study, a set of three Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) were used to estimate the joint ...
