To enhance the performance of the brain-actuated robot system, a novel shared controller based on Bayesian approach is proposed for intelligently combining robot automatic control and brain-actuated control, which takes into account the uncertainty o...
Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are commonly used as heart valve replacements but they are prone to fatigue failure; estimating their remaining life directly from medical images is difficult. Analyzing the valve performance can provide better guida...
Continuous kinematic monitoring of runners is crucial to inform runners of inappropriate running habits. Motion capture systems are the gold standard for gait analysis, but they are spatially limited to laboratories. Recently, wearable sensors have g...

This study aimed to investigate: 1) the effect of optic flow speed manipulation on active participation during robot-assisted treadmill walking (RATW), 2) the influence of the type of virtual environment, and 3) the level of motion sickness and enjoy...
The stance and swing phases of the gait cycle are defined by foot strike (FS) and foot off (FO). Accurate determination of these events is thus an essential component of 3D motion recordings processing. Several methods have been developed for the aut...
The purpose of this study was to develop an automated method for identifying and classifying change of direction (COD) movements in professional tennis using tracking data. Three sport science and strength and conditioning experts coded match-play fo...
