The Impact of ACL Laxity on a Bicondylar Robotic Knee and Implications in Human Joint Biomechanics.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Elucidating the role of structural mechanisms in the knee can improve joint surgeries, rehabilitation, and understanding of biped locomotion. Identification of key features, however, is challenging due to limitations in simulation and in-v...

Caring About the Human Operator: Haptic Shared Control for Enhanced User Comfort in Robotic Telemanipulation.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Haptic shared control enables a human operator and an autonomous controller to share the control of a robotic system using haptic active constraints. It has been used in robotic teleoperation for different purposes, such as navigating along paths min...

Adaptive predictive systems applied to gait analysis: A systematic review.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Due to the high susceptivity of the walking pattern to be affected by several disorders, accurate analysis methods are necessary. Given the complexity and relevance of such assessment, the utilization of methods to facilitate it plays a s...

The Role of Robotic Path Assistance and Weight Support in Facilitating 3D Movements in Individuals With Poststroke Hemiparesis.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
. High-intensity repetitive training is challenging to provide poststroke. Robotic approaches can facilitate such training by unweighting the limb and/or by improving trajectory control, but the extent to which these types of assistance are necessary...

Adaptive Ankle Resistance from a Wearable Robotic Device to Improve Muscle Recruitment in Cerebral Palsy.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Individuals with cerebral palsy can have weak and poorly coordinated ankle plantar flexor muscles that contribute to inefficient walking patterns. Previous studies attempting to improve plantar flexor function have had inconsistent effects on mobilit...

Enabling In-Bore MRI-Guided Biopsies With Force Feedback.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Limited physical access to target organs of patients inside an MRI scanner is a major obstruction to real-time MRI-guided interventions. Traditional teleoperation technologies are incompatible with the MRI environment and although several solutions h...

Basketball Activity Classification Based on Upper Body Kinematics and Dynamic Time Warping.

International journal of sports medicine
Basketball activity classification can help document players' statistics, allow coaches, trainers and the medical team to quantitatively supervise players' physical exertion and optimize training strategy, and further help prevent potential injuries....

A Deep Learning Framework for Assessing Physical Rehabilitation Exercises.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Computer-aided assessment of physical rehabilitation entails evaluation of patient performance in completing prescribed rehabilitation exercises, based on processing movement data captured with a sensory system. Despite the essential role of rehabili...

Experimental Investigation into the Dynamics of a Radially Contracting Actuator with Embedded Sensing Capability.

Soft robotics
Dynamics, control, and sensing are still challenges for pneumatically actuated soft actuators. We consider feasible solutions based on a radially contracting actuator to overcome these challenges. The radially contracting actuator was inspired by the...

Gait characteristics and clinical relevance of hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia on deep learning.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
BACKGROUND: Deep learning has always been at the forefront of scientific research. It has also been applied to medical research. Hereditary spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA) is characterized by gait abnormalities and is usually evaluated semi-quantitative...
