Initial classification of low back and leg pain based on objective functional testing: a pilot study of machine learning applied to diagnostics.

European spine journal : official publication of the European Spine Society, the European Spinal Deformity Society, and the European Section of the Cervical Spine Research Society
OBJECTIVE: The five-repetition sit-to-stand (5R-STS) test was designed to capture objective functional impairment and thus provided an adjunctive dimension in patient assessment. The clinical interpretability and confounders of the 5R-STS remain poor...

Multimodal pipe-climbing robot with origami clutches and soft modular legs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In nature, climbing trees and pipes of varying diameters or even navigating inside of hollow pipes and tree holes is easy for some climbing animals and insects. However, today's pipe-climbing robots, which are important for automatically conducting p...

Detection of Participation and Training Task Difficulty Applied to the Multi-Sensor Systems of Rehabilitation Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the process of rehabilitation training for stroke patients, the rehabilitation effect is positively affected by how much physical activity the patients take part in. Most of the signals used to measure the patients' participation are EMG signals o...

A Robust Balance-Control Framework for the Terrain-Blind Bipedal Walking of a Humanoid Robot on Unknown and Uneven Terrain.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Research on a terrain-blind walking control that can walk stably on unknown and uneven terrain is an important research field for humanoid robots to achieve human-level walking abilities, and it is still a field that needs much improvement. This pape...

Design of the musculoskeletal leg based on the physiology of mono-articular and biarticular muscles in the human leg.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In a lower extremity musculoskeletal leg, the actuation kinematics define the interaction of the actuators with each other and the environment. Design of such a kinematic chain is challenging due to the existence of the redundant biarticular actuator...

Estimation of Vertical Ground Reaction Force Using Low-Cost Insole With Force Plate-Free Learning From Single Leg Stance and Walking.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
For the evaluation of pathological gait, a machine learning-based estimation of the vertical ground reaction force (vGRF) using a low-cost insole is proposed as an alternative to costly force plates. However, learning a model for estimation still rel...

Gaussian Process Trajectory Learning and Synthesis of Individualized Gait Motions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a Gaussian process-based method for trajectory learning and generation of individualized gait motions at arbitrary user-designated walking speeds, intended to be used in generating reference motions for robotic gait rehabilitation...

Navigating Virtual Environments Using Leg Poses and Smartphone Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Realization of navigation in virtual environments remains a challenge as it involves complex operating conditions. Decomposition of such complexity is attainable by fusion of sensors and machine learning techniques. Identifying the right combination ...

Maneuvering and stabilization control of a bipedal robot with a universal-spatial robotic tail.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This paper analyzes control methodologies to implement maneuvering and stabilization behaviors in a bipedal robot using a bioinspired robotic tail. Looking to nature, numerous animals augment their legs' functionality using a tail nature, numerous an...

Robot-assisted training using Hybrid Assistive Limb® for cerebral palsy.

Brain & development
PURPOSE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL®, CYBERDYNE) is a wearable robot that provides assistance to a patient while they are walking, standing, and performing leg movements based on the wearer's intended movement. The effect of robot-assisted train...
