ObjectiveTo identify lifting actions and count the number of lifts performed in videos based on robust class prediction and a streamlined process for reliable real-time monitoring of lifting tasks.BackgroundTraditional methods for recognizing lifting...
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) in the moderate and severe stages can present several walk alterations. They can show slow movements and difficulty initiating, varying, or interrupting their gait; freezing; short steps; speed changes; shufflin...
BACKGROUND: The main key to the 4th industrial era is robots, and wearable robots are incorporated into human healthcare. Samsung Electronics' Bot Fit is a hip joint-centered assistive robot that can induce walking posture and energetic walking exerc...
The difficulties of rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, subsequent return-to-sport (RTS) let alone achieving pre-injury performance, are well known. Isokinetic testing is often used to assess strength capacities during tha...
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...
. Start hesitation is a key issue for individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) during gait initiation. Visual cues have proven effective in enhancing gait initiation. When applied to laser-light shoes, swing-limb detection efficiently activates the ...
Inching-locomotion caterpillars (ILAR) inspire the design of 'inch-worm' robots with biomimicry features, that can be adapted to different environments, such as natural, man-made, or other planets. Therefore, this work defines a novel mathematical me...
The performance of machine learning (ML) algorithms is dependent on which dataset it has been trained on. While ML algorithms are increasingly used for lift risk assessment, many algorithms are often trained and tested on controlled simulation datase...

Recently, there has been a significant increase in the number of foot diseases, highlighting the importance of non-surgical treatments. Customized insoles, tailored to an individual's foot morphology, have emerged as a promising solution. However, th...
Soft exoskeletons (exosuits) are expected to provide a comfortable wearing experience and compliant assistance compared with traditional rigid exoskeleton robots. In this paper, an exosuit with twisted string actuators (TSAs) is developed to provide ...
