Machine learning approaches to predict whether MEPs can be elicited via TMS.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a valuable technique for assessing the function of the motor cortex and cortico-muscular pathways. TMS activates the motoneurons in the cortex, which after transmission along cortico-muscular pat...

Proprioception enhancement for robot assisted neural rehabilitation: a dynamic electrical stimulation based method and preliminary results from EEG analysis.

Journal of neural engineering
In recent years, the robot assisted (RA) rehabilitation training has been widely used to counteract defects of the manual one provided by physiotherapists. However, since the proprioception feedback provided by the robotic assistance or the manual me...

MEFFNet: Forecasting Myoelectric Indices of Muscle Fatigue in Healthy and Post-Stroke During Voluntary and FES-Induced Dynamic Contractions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Myoelectric indices forecasting is important for muscle fatigue monitoring in wearable technologies, adaptive control of assistive devices like exoskeletons and prostheses, functional electrical stimulation (FES)-based Neuroprostheses, and more. Non-...

Identification of eupneic breathing using machine learning.

Journal of neurophysiology
The diaphragm muscle (DIAm) is the primary inspiratory muscle in mammals. In awake animals, considerable heterogeneity in the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the DIAm reflects varied ventilatory and nonventilatory behaviors. Experiments in awake ...

A robot-based hybrid lower limb system for Assist-As-Needed rehabilitation of stroke patients: Technical evaluation and clinical feasibility.

Computers in biology and medicine
BACKGROUND: Although early rehabilitation is important following a stroke, severely affected patients have limited options for intensive rehabilitation as they are often bedridden. To create a system for early rehabilitation of lower extremities in t...

Enhanced Muscle Activation Using Robotic Assistance Within the Electromechanical Delay: Implications for Rehabilitation?

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic rehabilitation has been shown to match the effects of conventional physical therapy on motor function for patients with neurological diseases. Rehabilitation robots have the potential to reduce therapists' workload in time-intensive training ...

Surface electromyography vs clinical outcome measures after robot-assisted gait training in patients with spinal cord injury after post-acute phase of rehabilitation.

Annals of agricultural and environmental medicine : AAEM
INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Surface electromyography (sEMG) measurements are a valid method for sublesional muscle activity following spinal cord injury (SCI). In the literature there are few reports evaluating the effect of robotic assisted gait tra...

Automatic semantic segmentation of EHG recordings by deep learning: An approach to a screening tool for use in clinical practice.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Preterm delivery is an important factor in the disease burden of the newborn and infants worldwide. Electrohysterography (EHG) has become a promising technique for predicting this condition, thanks to its high degree of sens...

Continuous reach-to-grasp motion recognition based on an extreme learning machine algorithm using sEMG signals.

Physical and engineering sciences in medicine
Recognizing user intention in reach-to-grasp motions is a critical challenge in rehabilitation engineering. To address this, a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm based on the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) was developed for identifying motor actions usi...

Knee Angle Estimation from Surface EMG during Walking Using Attention-Based Deep Recurrent Neural Networks: Feasibility and Initial Demonstration in Cerebral Palsy.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Accurately estimating knee joint angle during walking from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals can enable more natural control of wearable robotics like exoskeletons. However, challenges exist due to variability across individuals and sessions. T...
