Effects of reduced plantar cutaneous sensation on static postural control in individuals with and without chronic ankle instability.

Journal of science and medicine in sport
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to determine how reduced plantar cutaneous sensation influences static postural control in individuals with and without CAI.

Combined effects of robot‑assisted gait training and botulinum toxin type A on spastic equinus foot in patients with chronic stroke: a pilot, single blind, randomized controlled trial.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing evidence about the use of robotic gait training in neurorehabilitation, there is a scant literature about the combined effects of this innovative technological approach and a first‑line treatment for focal spasticity a...

Foot-controlled robotic-enabled endoscope holder for endoscopic sinus surgery: A cadaveric feasibility study.

The Laryngoscope
OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: To evaluate the feasibility of a unique prototype foot-controlled robotic-enabled endoscope holder (FREE) in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Control of a Supernumerary Robotic Hand by Foot: An Experimental Study in Virtual Reality.

PloS one
In the operational theater, the surgical team could highly benefit from a robotic supplementary hand under the surgeon's full control. The surgeon may so become more autonomous; this may reduce communication errors with the assistants and take over d...

Predicting Complete Ground Reaction Forces and Moments During Gait With Insole Plantar Pressure Information Using a Wavelet Neural Network.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
In general, three-dimensional ground reaction forces (GRFs) and ground reaction moments (GRMs) that occur during human gait are measured using a force plate, which are expensive and have spatial limitations. Therefore, we proposed a prediction model ...

The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing. Simple walking models suggest that preempt...

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.

Deep Learning-Based Landmark Detection Model for Multiple Foot Deformity Classification: A Dual-Center Study.

Yonsei medical journal
PURPOSE: To introduce heatmap-in-heatmap (HIH)-based model for automated diagnosis of foot deformities using weight-bearing foot radiographs, aiming to address the labor-intensive and variable nature of manual diagnosis.

Passive ankle and hindfoot kinematics within a robot-driven tibial movement envelope.

Journal of biomechanics
Accurate description of individual bone kinematics is essential for understanding individual foot and ankle joint function and interactions. While invasive and noninvasive techniques, including robotic simulators, have advanced the direct measurement...

Visual analogue scale foot and ankle vs. short-form 36 quality of life scores: artificial intelligence using machine learning analysis with an external validation.

European review for medical and pharmacological sciences
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to utilize artificial intelligence (AI) via machine learning (ML) to analyze the relationship between visual analogue scale foot and ankle (VASFA) and short-form 36 (SF-36) quality of life scores and determine AI's performance ove...
