Elevating Patient Care With Deep Learning: High-Resolution Cervical Auscultation Signals for Swallowing Kinematic Analysis in Nasogastric Tube Patients.

IEEE journal of translational engineering in health and medicine
Patients with nasogastric (NG) tubes require careful monitoring due to the potential impact of the tube on their ability to swallow safely. This study aimed to investigate the utility of high-resolution cervical auscultation (HRCA) signals in assessi...

Improving arterial stiffness prediction with machine learning utilizing hemodynamics and biomechanical features derived from phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Arterial stiffness has emerged as a prominent marker of risk for cardiovascular diseases. Few studies are interested in predicting symptomatic or asymptomatic arterial stiffness from hemodynamics and biomechanics parameters. Machine learning models c...

Enhancing postural stability in musculoskeletal quadrupedal locomotion through tension feedback for CPG-based controller.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
A central pattern generator (CPG)-based controller enhances the adaptability of quadrupedal locomotion, for example, by controlling the trunk posture. The conventional CPG-based controllers with attitude control often utilized the posture angle as fe...

Lower Limb Torque Prediction for Sit-To-Walk Strategies Using Long Short-Term Memory Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Joint torque prediction is crucial when investigating biomechanics, evaluating treatments, and designing powered assistive devices. Controllers in assistive technology require reference torque trajectories to set the level of assistance for a patient...

Performance of artificial neural network compared to multi-linear regression in prediction of countermovement jump height.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
Previous research has used primarily linear regression models to predict jump height and establish contributors of performance. The purpose of this study was to compare the performance of artificial neural network (ANN) and multi-linear regression (M...

Robotic feet modeled after ungulates improve locomotion on soft wet grounds.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Locomotion on soft yielding grounds is more complicated and energetically demanding than on hard ground. Wet soft ground (such as mud or snow) is a particularly difficult substance because it dissipates energy when stepping and resists extrusion of t...

Nature's All-in-One: Multitasking Robots Inspired by Dung Beetles.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Dung beetles impressively coordinate their 6 legs to effectively roll large dung balls. They can also roll dung balls varying in the weight on different terrains. The mechanisms underlying how their motor commands are adapted to walk and simultaneous...

Machine learning reveals correlations between brain age and mechanics.

Acta biomaterialia
Our brain undergoes significant micro- and macroscopic changes throughout its life cycle. It is therefore crucial to understand the effect of aging on the mechanical properties of the brain in order to develop accurate personalized simulations and di...

A Systematic Review on Rigid Exoskeleton Robot Design for Wearing Comfort: Joint Self-Alignment, Attachment Interface, and Structure Customization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Exoskeleton robots enable individuals with impaired physical functions to perform daily activities and maintain independence. However, the discomfort experienced by users when using these devices may limit the application scope of exoskeleton robots....

Evaluation of a novel robotic testing method for stability and kinematics of total knee arthroplasty.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: This work developed a novel preclinical test of total knee replacements (TKRs) in order to explain TKR instability linked to patient dissatisfaction. It was hypothesized that stability tests on the isolated moving prostheses would provide no...
