Parametric cushioning lattice insole based on finite element method and machine learning: A preliminary computational analysis.
Journal of biomechanics
Apr 1, 2025
The cushioning performance of insole has always been a critical consideration in its design. While the development of intelligent methods and the emergence of additive manufacturing (AM) technology have enhanced design freedom and convenience, a stan...
DE-AFO: A Robotic Ankle Foot Orthosis for Children with Cerebral Palsy Powered by Dielectric Elastomer Artificial Muscle.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Jun 11, 2024
Conventional passive ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) have not seen substantial advances or functional improvements for decades, failing to meet the demands of many stakeholders, especially the pediatric population with neurological disorders. Our objectiv...
Predicting Musculoskeletal Loading at Common Running Injury Locations Using Machine Learning and Instrumented Insoles.
Medicine and science in sports and exercise
Jun 6, 2024
INTRODUCTION: Wearables have the potential to provide accurate estimates of tissue loads at common running injury locations. Here we investigate the accuracy by which commercially available instrumented insoles (ARION; ATO-GEAR, Eindhoven, The Nether...
Human-Robot Joint Misalignment, Physical Interaction, and Gait Kinematic Assessment in Ankle-Foot Orthoses.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dec 31, 2023
Lower limb exoskeletons and orthoses have been increasingly used to assist the user during gait rehabilitation through torque transmission and motor stability. However, the physical human-robot interface (HRi) has not been properly addressed. Current...
Policy Design for an Ankle-Foot Orthosis Using Simulated Physical Human-Robot Interaction via Deep Reinforcement Learning.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 11, 2022
This paper presents a novel approach for designing a robotic orthosis controller considering physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). Computer simulation for this human-robot system can be advantageous in terms of time and cost due to the laborious n...
Deep learning approach to estimate foot pressure distribution in walking with application for a cost-effective insole system.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jan 16, 2022
BACKGROUND: Foot pressure distribution can be used as a quantitative parameter for evaluating anatomical deformity of the foot and for diagnosing and treating pathological gait, falling, and pressure sores in diabetes. The objective of this study was...
Machine learning analysis to predict the need for ankle foot orthosis in patients with stroke.
Scientific reports
Apr 19, 2021
We investigated the potential of machine learning techniques, at an early stage after stroke, to predict the need for ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) in stroke patients. We retrospectively recruited 474 consecutive stroke patients. The need for AFO during ...
Artificial Intelligence-Assisted motion capture for medical applications: a comparative study between markerless and passive marker motion capture.
Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
Dec 8, 2020
We aimed to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted markerless motion capture software is useful in the clinical medicine and rehabilitation fields. Currently, it is unclear whether the AI-assisted markerless method can be applied to ...
Walking with a powered ankle-foot orthosis: the effects of actuation timing and stiffness level on healthy users.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jul 17, 2020
BACKGROUND: In the last decades, several powered ankle-foot orthoses have been developed to assist the ankle joint of their users during walking. Recent studies have shown that the effects of the assistance provided by powered ankle-foot orthoses dep...
Energy-Optimal Human Walking With Feedback-Controlled Robotic Prostheses: A Computational Study.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jul 20, 2018
Lower-limb amputees typically experience reduced mobility and higher metabolic rates than non-amputees. It may be possible to improve their mobility and metabolic rate with an optimized robotic prosthesis. Here, we use large-scale trajectory optimiza...
