Using a deep learning network to recognise low back pain in static standing.

Ergonomics
Low back pain (LBP) remains one of the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorders, while algorithms that able to recognise LBP patients from healthy population using balance performance data are rarely seen. In this study, human balance and body sway p...

Modeling of dielectric elastomer oscillators for soft biomimetic applications.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Biomimetic, entirely soft robots with animal-like behavior and integrated artificial nervous systems will open up totally new perspectives and applications. However, until now, most presented studies on soft robots were limited to only partly soft de...

Achieving bioinspired flapping wing hovering flight solutions on Mars via wing scaling.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Achieving atmospheric flight on Mars is challenging due to the low density of the Martian atmosphere. Aerodynamic forces are proportional to the atmospheric density, which limits the use of conventional aircraft designs on Mars. Here, we show using n...

A Portable Passive Rehabilitation Robot for Upper-Extremity Functional Resistance Training.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Loss of arm function is common in individuals with neurological damage, such as stroke or cerebral palsy. Robotic devices that address muscle strength deficits in a task-specific manner can assist in the recovery of arm function; however, ...

Estimation of vertical ground reaction force during running using neural network model and uniaxial accelerometer.

Journal of biomechanics
Wearable technology has been viewed as one of the plausible alternatives to capture human motion in an unconstrained environment, especially during running. However, existing methods require kinematic and kinetic measurements of human body segments a...

String Grammar Unsupervised Possibilistic Fuzzy C-Medians for Gait Pattern Classification in Patients with Neurodegenerative Diseases.

Computational intelligence and neuroscience
Neurodegenerative diseases that affect serious gait abnormalities include Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and Huntington disease (HD). These diseases lead to gait rhythm distortion that can be determined by stride time ...

Assessing Effectiveness and Costs in Robot-Mediated Lower Limbs Rehabilitation: A Meta-Analysis and State of the Art.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Robots were introduced in rehabilitation in the 90s to meet different needs, that is, reducing the physical effort of therapists. This work consists of a meta-analysis of robot-mediated lower limbs rehabilitation for stroke-affected patients; it aims...

An Uncontrolled Manifold Analysis of Arm Joint Variability in Virtual Planar Position and Orientation Telemanipulation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: In teleoperated robot-assisted tasks, the user interacts with manipulators to finely control remote tools. Manipulation of robotic devices, characterized by specific kinematic and dynamic proprieties, is a complex task for the human sensor...

Soft tissue deformation modelling through neural dynamics-based reaction-diffusion mechanics.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Soft tissue deformation modelling forms the basis of development of surgical simulation, surgical planning and robotic-assisted minimally invasive surgery. This paper presents a new methodology for modelling of soft tissue deformation based on reacti...

Design, verification and robotic application of a novel recurrent neural network for computing dynamic Sylvester equation.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
To solve dynamic Sylvester equation in the presence of additive noises, a novel recurrent neural network (NRNN) with finite-time convergence and excellent robustness is proposed and analyzed in this paper. As compared with the design process of Zhang...
