We sought to evaluate the effects of the application of torque pulses to the hip and knee joint via a robotic exoskeleton in the context of training propulsion during walking. Based on our previous study, we formulated a set of conditions of torque p...
BACKGROUND: Development of accessible cost-effective technology to objectively, reliably, and accurately predict musculoskeletal injury risk could aid the effort to prevent chronic pain and disability. Recent work on micro-Doppler radar suggests it m...

PURPOSE: Current surgical robotic systems are either large serial arms, resulting in higher risks due to their high inertia and no inherent limitations of the working space, or they are bone-mounted, adding substantial additional task steps to the su...
This study examined whether an inertial measurement unit (IMU), in combination with machine learning, could accurately predict two indirect measures of bowling intensity through ball release speed (BRS) and perceived intensity zone (PIZ). One IMU was...
Human muscle fatigue is the main result of diminishing muscle capability, leading to reduced performance and increased risk of falls and injury. This study provides a classification model to identify the human fatigue level based on the motion signal...
The 4SPRR-SPR parallel robot, which has considerable potential for application in the field of machining, is a novel closed-loop mechanism with a high rigid-weight ratio. Kinematics and workspace analyses of the 4SPRR-SPR parallel robot are key requi...
Motion intention detection is fundamental in the implementation of human-machine interfaces applied to assistive robots. In this paper, multiple machine learning techniques have been explored for creating upper limb motion prediction models, which ge...
The difficulty of estimating joint kinematics remains a critical barrier toward widespread use of inertial measurement units in biomechanics. Traditional sensor-fusion filters are largely reliant on magnetometer readings, which may be disturbed in un...

BACKGROUND: Prosthetic restoration of reach and grasp function after a trans-humeral amputation requires control of multiple distal degrees of freedom in elbow, wrist and fingers. However, such a high level of amputation reduces the amount of availab...
