Accurately estimating knee joint angle during walking from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals can enable more natural control of wearable robotics like exoskeletons. However, challenges exist due to variability across individuals and sessions. T...
Accurate prediction of scoliotic curve progression is crucial for guiding treatment decisions in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS). Traditional methods of assessing the likelihood of AIS progression are limited by variability and rely on static m...
BACKGROUND: X-ray radiography is a widely used imaging technique worldwide, and its image quality directly affects diagnostic accuracy. Therefore, X-ray image quality control (QC) is essential. However, subjectively assessing image quality is ineffic...
Reconstructing images from under-sampled Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) signals significantly reduces scan time and improves clinical practice. However, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-based methods, while demonstrating great performance in MRI ...
Multi-sequence magnetic resonance imaging is crucial in accurately identifying knee abnormalities but requires substantial expertise from radiologists to interpret. Here, we introduce a deep learning model incorporating co-plane attention across imag...
Acoustical knee health assessment has long promised an alternative to clinically available medical imaging tools, but this modality has yet to be adopted in medical practice. The field is currently led by machine learning models processing acoustical...
The difficulties of rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, subsequent return-to-sport (RTS) let alone achieving pre-injury performance, are well known. Isokinetic testing is often used to assess strength capacities during tha...

This study presents a novel wearable solution integrating Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) sensors into a knee sleeve to monitor knee flexion/extension (F/E) patterns during walking. POF sensors offer advantages such as flexibility, light weight, and robu...
Robot-assisted isokinetic training has been widely adopted for knee rehabilitation. However, existing rehabilitation facilities are often heavy, bulky, and extremely energy-consuming, which limits the rehabilitation opportunities only at designated h...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease, affecting over 300 million people worldwide. Subchondral sclerosis is a key indicator of OA. Currently, the diagnosis of subchondral sclerosis is primarily based on radiographic images; however, r...
