Relevant Features Selection for Automatic Prediction of Preterm Deliveries from Pregnancy ElectroHysterograhic (EHG) records.

Journal of medical systems
In this study, we proposed an approach able to predict whether a pregnant woman with contractions would give birth earlier than expected (i.e., before the 37 week of gestation (WG)). It only processes non-invasive electrohysterographic (EHG) signals...

Surface electromyography based muscle fatigue detection using high-resolution time-frequency methods and machine learning algorithms.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Surface electromyography (sEMG) based muscle fatigue research is widely preferred in sports science and occupational/rehabilitation studies due to its noninvasiveness. However, these signals are complex, multicomponent and h...

EMG-Based Estimation of Limb Movement Using Deep Learning With Recurrent Convolutional Neural Networks.

Artificial organs
A novel model based on deep learning is proposed to estimate kinematic information for myoelectric control from multi-channel electromyogram (EMG) signals. The neural information of limb movement is embedded in EMG signals that are influenced by all ...

Is two better than one? Muscle vibration plus robotic rehabilitation to improve upper limb spasticity and function: A pilot randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
Even though robotic rehabilitation is very useful to improve motor function, there is no conclusive evidence on its role in reducing post-stroke spasticity. Focal muscle vibration (MV) is instead very useful to reduce segmental spasticity, with a con...

Biosignals learning and synthesis using deep neural networks.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Modeling physiological signals is a complex task both for understanding and synthesize biomedical signals. We propose a deep neural network model that learns and synthesizes biosignals, validated by the morphological equivalence of the or...

A Wireless ExG Interface for Patch-Type ECG Holter and EMG-Controlled Robot Hand.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a wearable electrophysiological interface with enhanced immunity to motion artifacts. Anti-artifact schemes, including a patch-type modular structure and real-time automatic level adjustment, are proposed and verified in two wirel...

Can Lokomat therapy with children and adolescents be improved? An adaptive clinical pilot trial comparing Guidance force, Path control, and FreeD.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric neurorehabilitation to complement conventional physical therapy. The robotic device applied in this study, the Lokomat (Hocoma AG, Switzerland), uses a position control m...

A Control Scheme to Minimize Muscle Energy for Power Assistant Robotic Systems Under Unknown External Perturbation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a novel control method to minimize muscle energy for power-assistant robotic systems that support the intended motions of a user under unknown external perturbations, using surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals. Conventional contr...

Turn Intent Detection For Control of a Lower Limb Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: An adaptable lower limb prosthesis with variable stiffness in the transverse plane requires a control method to effect changes in real time during amputee turning. This study aimed to identify classification algorithms that can accurately ...
