This study presents a model of cooperation between two planar manipulators including an orthosis and a programmable plate in form of a hybrid lower limb rehabilitation robot, which was designed and built at the University of Guilan. The aims of coope...
The ability to efficiently and reproducibly generate subject-specific 3D models of bone and soft tissue is important to many areas of musculoskeletal research. However, methodologies requiring such models have largely been limited by lengthy manual s...
Background MRI is a powerful diagnostic tool with a long acquisition time. Recently, deep learning (DL) methods have provided accelerated high-quality image reconstructions from undersampled data, but it is unclear if DL image reconstruction can be r...
BACKGROUND: The knee adduction moment, a biomechanical risk factor of knee osteoarthritis, is typically measured in a gait laboratory with expensive equipment and inverse dynamics modeling software. We aimed to develop a framework for a portable knee...
Although the accuracy of other types of robotic systems for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has been assessed in cadaveric studies, no investigations have been performed to evaluate this newly advanced active robotic system. Therefore, the authors aime...
PURPOSE: To evaluate whether deep learning reconstruction (DLR) accelerates the acquisition of 1.5-T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) knee data without image deterioration.

Methods for automatic image analysis are demanded for dealing with the explosively increased imaging data in clinics. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a typical disease diagnosed based on X-ray imaging. Herein, we propose a novel modeling strategy based on YOL...
To assess pathological gaits quantitatively, three-dimensional coordinates estimated with a deep learning model were converted into body axis plane projections. First, 15 healthy volunteers performed four gait patterns; that is, normal, shuffling, sh...
BACKGROUND: Anterior closing wedge osteotomies (ACWO) are performed in revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery to correct an excessive posterior tibial slope (PTS).
