Evaluation of cuff deflation and inflation rates on a deep learning-based automatic blood pressure measurement method: a pilot evaluation study.

Blood pressure monitoring
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of using a deep learning-based method for measuring SBPs and DBPs and the effects of cuff inflation and deflation rates on the deep learning-based blood pressure (BP) measurement (in co...

Investigation of Fatigue Using Different EMG Features.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitative exercise for people suffering from upper limb impairments has the potential to improve their neuro-plasticity due to repetitive training. Our study investigates the usefulness of Electroencephalogram and Electromyogram (EMG) signals fo...

Deep learning-based automatic blood pressure measurement: evaluation of the effect of deep breathing, talking and arm movement.

Annals of medicine
It is clinically important to evaluate the performance of a newly developed blood pressure (BP) measurement method under different measurement conditions. This study aims to evaluate the performance of using deep learning-based method to measure BPs...

Influence of the amount of body weight support on lower limb joints' kinematics during treadmill walking at different gait speeds: Reference data on healthy adults to define trajectories for robot assistance.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Several robotic devices have been developed for the rehabilitation of treadmill walking in patients with movement disorders due to injuries or diseases of the central nervous system. These robots induce coordinated multi-joint movements aimed at repr...

Robotic Spine Exoskeleton (RoSE): Characterizing the 3-D Stiffness of the Human Torso in the Treatment of Spine Deformity.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Spine deformity is typically treated with a brace that fits around the torso and hips to correct the abnormal curve of the spine. While bracing has been shown to curtail progression of abnormal spine curves, current braces impose several limitations ...

An Optimal Method of Training the Specific Lower Limb Muscle Group Using an Exoskeletal Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper suggests a novel method of strengthening specific muscle groups in the lower limb during a functional movement. When the foot of an user wearing an exoskeletal robot follows a given path, the contribution of each muscle group to generate t...

Robotic gaming prototype for upper limb exercise: Effects of age and embodiment on user preferences and movement.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Effective human-robot interactions in rehabilitation necessitates an understanding of how these should be tailored to the needs of the human. We report on a robotic system developed as a partner on a 3-D everyday task, using a gamified ap...

Head Motion and Head Gesture-Based Robot Control: A Usability Study.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The assistive robot system adaptive head motion control for user-friendly support (AMiCUS) has been developed to increase the autonomy of motion impaired people. The six degrees of freedom robot arm with gripper is controlled with head motion and hea...
