Mediolateral damping of an overhead body weight support system assists stability during treadmill walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Body weight support systems with three or more degrees of freedom (3-DoF) are permissive and safe environments that provide unloading and allow unrestricted movement in any direction. This enables training of walking and balance control a...

Prediction of Body Weight of a Person Lying on a Smart Mat in Nonrestraint and Unconsciousness Conditions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
We want to predict body weight while lying in bed for an elderly patient who is unable to move by himself/herself. To this end, we have implemented a prototype system that estimates the body weight of a person lying on a smart mat in nonrestraint and...

Dynamic Modeling and Simulation of a Body Weight Support System.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This paper proposes a body weight support (BWS) system with a series elastic actuator (SEA) to facilitate walking assistance and motor relearning during gait rehabilitation. This system comprises the following: a mobile platform that ensures movement...

Human arm weight compensation in rehabilitation robotics: efficacy of three distinct methods.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Arm weight compensation with rehabilitation robots for stroke patients has been successfully used to increase the active range of motion and reduce the effects of pathological muscle synergies. However, the differences in structure, perfo...

Prediction and optimization of slaughter weight in meat-type quails using artificial neural network modeling.

Poultry science
Carcass yield of meat-type quails is strongly correlated with the weight of the birds at slaughter (slaughter weight [SW]; body weight at 45 D of age). Moreover, prediction of superior animals for SW at the earlier stages of the rearing period is fav...

Robotic body weight support enables safe stair negotiation in compliance with basic locomotor principles.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: After a neurological injury, mobility focused rehabilitation programs intensively train walking on treadmills or overground. However, after discharge, quite a few patients are not able to independently negotiate stairs, a real-world task ...

HYBRID: Ambulatory Robotic Gait Trainer with Movement Induction and Partial Weight Support.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robotic exoskeletons that induce leg movement have proven effective for lower body rehabilitation, but current solutions offer limited gait patterns, lack stabilization, and do not properly stimulate the proprioceptive and balance systems (since the ...

Clinical non-superiority of technology-assisted gait training with body weight support in patients with subacute stroke: A meta-analysis.

Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Technology-assisted gait training (TAGT) with body weight support (BWS) has been designed to provide high numbers of repetitions during stepping practice, but its benefits have been inconclusive.

Machine Learning Based Prediction of Insufficient Herbage Allowance with Automated Feeding Behaviour and Activity Data.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Sensor technologies that measure grazing and ruminating behaviour as well as physical activities of individual cows are intended to be included in precision pasture management. One of the advantages of sensor data is they can be analysed to support f...

Metabolomics meets machine learning: Longitudinal metabolite profiling in serum of normal versus overconditioned cows and pathway analysis.

Journal of dairy science
This study aimed to investigate the differences in the metabolic profiles in serum of dairy cows that were normal or overconditioned when dried off for elucidating the pathophysiological reasons for the increased health disturbances commonly associat...
