Continuous Joint Kinematics Prediction Using GAT-LSTM Framework Based on Muscle Synergy and Sparse sEMG.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
sEMG signals hold significant potential for motion prediction, with promising applications in areas such as rehabilitation, sports training, and human-computer interaction. However, achieving robust prediction accuracy remains a critical challenge, a...

Performance Evaluation of Monocular Markerless Pose Estimation Systems for Industrial Exoskeletons.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Industrial exoskeletons (a.k.a. wearable robots) have been developed to reduce musculoskeletal fatigue and work injuries. Human joint kinematics and human-robot alignment are important measurements in understanding the effects of industrial exoskelet...

Marker based and markerless motion capture for equestrian rider kinematic analysis: A comparative study.

Journal of biomechanics
The study hypothesised that a markerless motion capture system can provide kinematic data comparable to a traditional marker-based system for riders mounted on a horse. The objective was to assess the markerless system's accuracy by directly comparin...

Encoding mechanical intelligence using ultraprogrammable joints.

Science advances
Animal bodies act as physical controllers, with their finely tuned passive mechanical responses physically "encoding" complex movements and environmental interactions. This capability allows animals to perform challenging tasks with minimal muscular ...

Automatic Joint Lesion Detection by enhancing local feature interaction.

Computerized medical imaging and graphics : the official journal of the Computerized Medical Imaging Society
Recently, deep learning models have demonstrated impressive performance in Automatic Joint Lesion Detection (AJLD), yet balancing accuracy and efficiency remains a significant challenge. This paper focuses on achieving end-to-end lesion detection whi...

Jointed tails enhance control of three-dimensional body rotation.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
Tails used as inertial appendages induce body rotations of animals and robots-a phenomenon that is governed largely by the ratio of the body and tail moments of inertia. However, vertebrate tails have more degrees of freedom (e.g. number of joints an...

A machine learning approach to real-time calculation of joint angles during walking and running using self-placed inertial measurement units.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Inter-segment joint angles can be obtained from inertial measurement units (IMUs); however, accurate 3D joint motion measurement, which requires sensor fusion and signal processing, sensor alignment with segments and joint axis calibratio...

Visualizing Preosteoarthritis: Updates on UTE-Based Compositional MRI and Deep Learning Algorithms.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
Osteoarthritis (OA) is heterogeneous and involves structural changes in the whole joint, such as cartilage, meniscus/labrum, ligaments, and tendons, mainly with short T2 relaxation times. Detecting OA before the onset of irreversible changes is cruci...

Machine learning-based prediction model integrating ultrasound scores and clinical features for the progression to rheumatoid arthritis in patients with undifferentiated arthritis.

Clinical rheumatology
OBJECTIVES: Predicting rheumatoid arthritis (RA) progression in undifferentiated arthritis (UA) patients remains a challenge. Traditional approaches combining clinical assessments and ultrasonography (US) often lack accuracy due to the complex intera...

A Systematic Review on Rigid Exoskeleton Robot Design for Wearing Comfort: Joint Self-Alignment, Attachment Interface, and Structure Customization.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Exoskeleton robots enable individuals with impaired physical functions to perform daily activities and maintain independence. However, the discomfort experienced by users when using these devices may limit the application scope of exoskeleton robots....
