Video-Based Lifting Action Recognition Using Rank-Altered Kinematic Feature Pairs.

Human factors
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...

Computer model for gait assessments in Parkinson's patients using a fuzzy inference model and inertial sensors.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
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...

Effect of wearable robot Bot Fit's hip joint-centered assist torque and voice coach on walking.

BMC musculoskeletal disorders
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...

Finding the needle in the haystack of isokinetic knee data: Random Forest modelling improves information about ACLR-related deficiencies.

Journal of sports sciences
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...

Augmented Effect of Combined Robotic Assisted Gait Training and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-irradiation Technique on Muscle Activation and Ankle Kinematics in Hemiparetic Gait: A Preliminary Study.

NeuroRehabilitation
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...

Swing limb detection using a convolutional neural network and a sequential hypothesis test based on foot pressure data during gait initialization in individuals with Parkinson's disease.

Physiological measurement
. 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 ...

Multibody system dynamics for bio-robotic design and simulation based on inching-locomotion caterpillar's gait: MBD-ILAR method.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
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...

Classification algorithms trained on simple (symmetric) lifting data perform poorly in predicting hand loads during complex (free-dynamic) lifting tasks.

Applied ergonomics
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...

Super-fast and accurate nonlinear foot deformation Prediction using graph neural networks.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
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...

Human-in-the-Loop Modeling and Bilateral Skill Transfer Control of Soft Exoskeleton.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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 ...
