OBJECTIVES: Soft robotic hands are proposed for stroke rehabilitation in terms of their high compliance and low inherent stiffness. We investigated the clinical efficacy of a soft robotic hand that could actively flex and extend the fingers in chroni...
BACKGROUND: Depression, a common worldwide mental disorder, which brings huge challenges to family and social burden around the world is different from fluctuant emotion and psychological pressure in their daily life. Although body signs have been sh...
To traverse complex three-dimensional terrain with large obstacles, animals and robots must transition across different modes. However, the most mechanistic understanding of terrestrial locomotion concerns how to generate and stabilize near-steady-st...
Comprehensive descriptions of animal behavior require precise three-dimensional (3D) measurements of whole-body movements. Although two-dimensional approaches can track visible landmarks in restrictive environments, performance drops in freely moving...
We investigated the potential of machine learning techniques, at an early stage after stroke, to predict the need for ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) in stroke patients. We retrospectively recruited 474 consecutive stroke patients. The need for AFO during ...
Spatiotemporal parameters can characterize the gait patterns of individuals, allowing assessment of their health status and detection of clinically meaningful changes in their gait. Video-based markerless motion capture is a user-friendly, inexpensiv...
A lower-limb exoskeleton robot identifies the wearer's walking intention and assists the walking movement through mechanical force; thus, it is important to be able to identify the wearer's movement in real-time. Measurement of the angle of the knee ...
Fish robots have many possible applications in exploration, industry, research, and continue to increase in design complexity, control, and the behaviors they can complete. Maneuverability is an important metric of fish robot performance, with severa...
