OBJECTIVE: To determine the effect of hyaluronidase on time to onset and offset of anaesthesia in ropivacaine or bupivacaine femoral-ischiatic nerve blocks.
Locomotor patterns are mainly modulated by afferent feedback, but its actual contribution to spinal network activity during continuous passive limb training is still unexplored. To unveil this issue, we devised a robotic in vitro setup (Bipedal Induc...
OBJECTIVE: Providing accurate and robust estimates of limb kinematics from recorded neural activities is prominent in closed-loop control of functional electrical stimulation (FES). A major issue in providing accurate decoding the limb kinematics is ...

Synchronous forelimb-hindlimb gait pattern is important to facilitate natural walking behavior of an injured rat with total transection. Since our ultimate research goal is to build a rehabilitation robotic system to simulate the natural walking patt...
Research on soft robots and swimming robots has been widely reported and demonstrated. However, none of these soft swimming robots can swim flexibly and efficiently using legs, just like a frog. This paper demonstrates a self-contained, untethered sw...
Rodent models are commonly used to understand the underlying mechanisms of spinal cord injury (SCI). Kinematic analysis, an important technique to measure dysfunction of locomotion after SCI, is generally based on the capture of physical markers plac...
BACKGROUND: With an increasing number of systems for quantifying lameness-related movement asymmetry, between-system comparisons under non-laboratory conditions are important for multi-centre or referral-level studies. This study compares an artifici...
The special hindleg structure and swimming setae of a water boatman give it a high degree of maneuverability, which plays an important role in swimming. This paper used a high-speed photography platform to extract key points from videos, obtaining th...
Lameness detection in horses is a critical challenge in equine veterinary practice, particularly when symptoms are mild. This study aimed to develop a predictive system using a support vector machine (SVM) to identify the affected limb in horses trot...
