Robot controlled, continuous passive movement of the ankle reduces spinal cord excitability in participants with spasticity: a pilot study.

Experimental brain research
Spasticity of the ankle reduces quality of life by impeding walking and other activities of daily living. Robot-driven continuous passive movement (CPM) is a strategy for lower limb spasticity management but effects on spasticity, walking ability and...

A Multichannel Convolutional Neural Network Architecture for the Detection of the State of Mind Using Physiological Signals from Wearable Devices.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Detection of the state of mind has increasingly grown into a much favored study in recent years. After the advent of smart wearables in the market, each individual now expects to be delivered with state-of-the-art reports about his body. The most dom...

EMG-based lumbosacral joint compression force prediction using a support vector machine.

Medical engineering & physics
Electromyography-assisted optimization (EMGAO) approach is widely used to predict lumbar joint loads under various dynamic and static conditions. However, such approach uses numerous anthropometric, kinematic, kinetic, and electromyographic data in t...

Exploration of Chinese Sign Language Recognition Using Wearable Sensors Based on Deep Belief Net.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
In this paper, deep belief net (DBN) was applied into the field of wearable-sensor based Chinese sign language (CSL) recognition. Eight subjects were involved in the study, and all of the subjects finished a five-day experiment performing CSL on a ta...

A Multi-Mode Rehabilitation Robot With Magnetorheological Actuators Based on Human Motion Intention Estimation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Lower extremity paralysis has become common in recent years, and robots have been developed to help patients recover from it. This paper presents such a robotic system that allows for two working modes, the robot-active mode and human-active mode. Th...

Neural muscle activation detection: A deep learning approach using surface electromyography.

Journal of biomechanics
The timing of muscles activation which is a key parameter in determining plenty of medical conditions can be greatly assessed by the surface EMG signal which inherently carries an immense amount of information. Many techniques for measuring muscle ac...

Physiological indices of challenge and threat: A data-driven investigation of autonomic nervous system reactivity during an active coping stressor task.

Psychophysiology
We utilized a data-driven, unsupervised machine learning approach to examine patterns of peripheral physiological responses during a motivated performance context across two large, independent data sets, each with multiple peripheral physiological me...

A robotic neck brace to characterize head-neck motion and muscle electromyography in subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Annals of clinical and translational neurology
OBJECTIVE: This paper presents the first study where a dynamic neck brace was used to characterize the head motion of ALS patients while concurrently recording the surface electromyography (EMG) of the neck muscles.

IMU, sEMG, or their cross-correlation and temporal similarities: Which signal features detect lateral compensatory balance reactions more accurately?

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Falls are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among seniors worldwide. While laboratory evidence supports the view that impaired ability to execute compensatory balance responses (CBRs) is linked to an increase...

Influences of the biofeedback content on robotic post-stroke gait rehabilitation: electromyographic vs joint torque biofeedback.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Add-on robot-mediated therapy has proven to be more effective than conventional therapy alone in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Such robot-mediated interventions routinely use also visual biofeedback tools. A better understanding of bio...
