Applying a soft-robotic glove as assistive device and training tool with games to support hand function after stroke: Preliminary results on feasibility and potential clinical impact.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Recent technological developments regarding wearable soft-robotic devices extend beyond the current application of rehabilitation robotics and enable unobtrusive support of the arms and hands during daily activities. In this light, the HandinMind (Hi...

Application of support vector machines in detecting hand grasp gestures using a commercially off the shelf wireless myoelectric armband.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The propose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using support vector machines in analysing myoelectric signals acquired using an off the shelf device, the Myo armband from Thalmic Lab, when performing hand grasp gestures. Participants (n =...

Journal of occupational and environmental medicine
OBJECTIVE: Assess feasibility and potential utility of natural language processing (NLP) for storing and analyzing occupational health data.

Automatic Estimation of Volumetric Breast Density Using Artificial Neural Network-Based Calibration of Full-Field Digital Mammography: Feasibility on Japanese Women With and Without Breast Cancer.

Journal of digital imaging
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer among women and its incidence is increasing. Risk assessment is valuable and recent methods are incorporating novel biomarkers such as mammographic density. Artificial neural networks (ANN) are adaptiv...

Steerable Robot-assisted Micromanipulation in the Middle Ear: Preliminary Feasibility Evaluation.

Otology & neurotology : official publication of the American Otological Society, American Neurotology Society [and] European Academy of Otology and Neurotology
HYPOTHESIS: The use of a robotic manipulator with a dexterously orientable gripper will expand the ability of middle ear surgeons to perform precise tasks and access otherwise challenging anatomic regions.

A novel Robotic Gait Training System (RGTS) may facilitate functional recovery after stroke: A feasibility and safety study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training has been introduced as a practical treatment adjunctive to traditional stroke rehabilitation to provide high-intensity repetitive training. The design of robots is usually based on either the end-effector and ...

Shoulder motion assistance using a single-joint Hybrid Assistive Limb robot: Evaluation of its safety and validity in healthy adults.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery (Hong Kong)
PURPOSES: To evaluate the feasibility of using the single-joint Hybrid Assistive Limb robot (HAL) to assist with shoulder flexion-extension in healthy adults, and to assess the capacity of the HAL to analyze the bioelectrical signals of muscle activi...

Comparison of machine-learning algorithms to build a predictive model for detecting undiagnosed diabetes - ELSA-Brasil: accuracy study.

Sao Paulo medical journal = Revista paulista de medicina
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE:: Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disease associated with a wide range of serious health complications that have a major impact on overall health. The aims here were to develop and validate predictive models for detecting undiagnos...

tDCS does not enhance the effects of robot-assisted gait training in patients with subacute stroke.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, which can modulate cortical excitability and combined with rehabilitation therapies may improve motor recovery after stroke.
