Evaluating Trunk Control Ability in Patients With Spinal Cord Injury via a Robotic Brace.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Evaluating trunk control ability is significant in guiding patients towards proper functional training. Existing assessment techniques are subjective with low resolution, lack multi-dimensional assessment capability, or fail to provide active protect...

A Pilot Study on Fabric-Based Pneumatic Soft Gloves for Assisting Patients With Severe Brachial Plexus Injury.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Robotic gloves show promise in hand assistance due to their wearability and home-based potential, yet empirical research remains limited. This pilot study presents a fabric-based pneumatic soft glove, aiming to identify its potential and c...

SeptalPro: Development and Usability Evaluation of a Force-Sensing Robotic Transseptal Puncture System for Cardiac Interventions.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the SeptalPro system, a novel robotic platform designed to enhance the precision, safety, and efficiency of transseptal puncture (TSP) procedures by integrating real-time remote control and force se...

An Active Insole to Reduce Plantar Pressure Loading: Using Predictive Finite Element Driven Soft Hydraulic Actuators to Minimize Plantar Pressure and the Pressure Time Integral for Diabetic Foot Ulceration Risk Management.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This article aims to design, manufacture and evaluate an active insole to reduce plantar tissue loading to minimise the risk of diabetic foot ulceration for people living with diabetes.

Real-Time Imaging Enhancement of Handheld Photoacoustic System With FeRAM Crossbar Array Based Neuromorphic Design.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
The miniaturization and real time imaging capability have always been the desired properties of photoacoustic imaging (PAI) system, which unlocked vast potential for personalized healthcare and diagnostics. While the imaging quality and resolution in...

Deep learning-assisted 10-μL single droplet-based viscometry for human aqueous humor.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Probing the viscosity of human aqueous humor is crucial for optimizing micro-tube shunts in glaucoma treatment. However, conventional viscometers are not suitable for aqueous humor due to the limited sample volume-only tens of microliters-that can be...

Hybrid Magnetic Locomotion Method for Capsule Robots.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Gastrointestinal (GI) capsule endoscopes typically rely on a single mode of locomotion, which limits their efficiency within the complex GI tract. To address this issue, this paper presents a hybrid magnetic locomotion method for capsule r...

Evaluation of a Low-Cost Amplifier With System Optimization in Thermoacoustic Tomography: Characterization and Imaging of Ex-Vivo and In-Vivo Samples.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography (TAT) is a hybrid imaging technique that combines microwave excitation with ultrasound detection to create detailed images of biological tissue. Most TAT systems require a costly amplification system (or a ...

Design of Magnetic Actuated Capsule Robot for Liquid Sampling.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to introduce a biopsy capsule robot based on the negative pressure suction principle to achieve liquid sampling in the digestive tract.

Robot-Mediated Asymmetric Connection Between Humans Can Improve Performance Without Increasing Effort.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
UNLABELLED: Whether working together to move a table or supporting a child learning to ride a bike, physically connected individuals exchange haptic information to improve motor performance. However, this improvement occurs at the cost of additional ...
