Interactive Compliance Control of a Wrist Rehabilitation Device (WRD) with Enhanced Training Safety.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Interaction control plays an important role in rehabilitation devices to ensure training safety and efficacy. Compliance adaptation of interaction is vital for enabling robot movements to better suit the patient's requirements as human joint characte...

Highly accelerated, model-free diffusion tensor MRI reconstruction using neural networks.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to develop a neural network that accurately performs diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) reconstruction from highly accelerated scans.

Machine learning algorithms for predicting scapular kinematics.

Medical engineering & physics
The goal of this study was to develop and validate a non-invasive approach to estimate scapular kinematics in individual patients. We hypothesized that machine learning algorithms could be developed using motion capture data to accurately estimate dy...

Walking Imagery Evaluation in Brain Computer Interfaces via a Multi-View Multi-Level Deep Polynomial Network.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Brain-computer interfaces based on motor imagery (MI) have been widely used to support the rehabilitation of motor functions of the upper limbs rather than lower limbs. This is probably because it is more difficult to detect the brain activities of l...

Classification of gait patterns between patients with Parkinson's disease and healthy controls using phase space reconstruction (PSR), empirical mode decomposition (EMD) and neural networks.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that affects human's quality of life, especially leading to locomotor deficits such as postural instability and gait disturbances. Gait signal is one of the best features to characterize...

Myoelectric control algorithm for robot-assisted therapy: a hardware-in-the-loop simulation study.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: A direct blow to the knee is one way to injure the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), e.g., during a football or traffic accident. Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) rehabilitation, simulating regular walking, improves walking and balance abilit...

Swall-E: A robotic in-vitro simulation of human swallowing.

PloS one
Swallowing is a complex physiological function that can be studied through medical imagery techniques such as videofluoroscopy (VFS), dynamic magnetic resonance imagery (MRI) and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES). VFS is the gold ...

Combination of high-frequency SSVEP-based BCI and computer vision for controlling a robotic arm.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Recent attempts in developing brain-computer interface (BCI)-controlled robots have shown the potential of this area in the field of assistive robots. However, implementing the process of picking and placing objects using a BCI-controlled ...

Efficient sleep classification based on entropy features and a support vector machine classifier.

Physiological measurement
OBJECTIVE: Sleep quality helps to reflect on the physical and mental condition, and efficient sleep stage scoring promises considerable advantages to health care. The aim of this study is to propose a simple and efficient sleep classification method ...

Comparison of Muscular Activity and Movement Performance in Robot-Assisted and Freely Performed Exercises.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
End-effector-based robotic systems are, in particular, suitable for extending physical therapy in stroke rehabilitation. An adequate therapy and thus the recovery of movement can only be guaranteed if the physiological muscular activation and movemen...
