Social and Structural Determinants of Lower Extremity Amputations in Diabetes.

Current diabetes reports
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Lower extremity amputations (LEAs) are among the most severe complications of diabetes, with approximately 1.5 million procedures performed globally each year. This review explores the impact of social and structural determinants o...

Machine learning and transformer models for prediction of postoperative pneumonia risk in patients with lower limb fractures.

Scientific reports
Postoperative pneumonia, a prevalent complication arising from lower limb fracture surgery, can significantly prolong hospitalization periods and elevate mortality rates. Consequently, early prevention and identification of this condition are crucial...

Comparison of lower limb kinematic and kinetic estimation during athlete jumping between markerless and marker-based motion capture systems.

Scientific reports
Markerless motion capture (ML) systems, which utilize deep learning algorithms, have significantly expanded the applications of biomechanical analysis. Jump tests are now essential tools for athlete monitoring and injury prevention. However, the vali...

Gender-specific sarcopenia screening in hemodialysis: insights from lower limb strength and physiological indicators.

BMC nephrology
OBJECTIVE: Maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients often suffer from sarcopenia, affecting lower limb muscle strength and increasing the risk of falls and mortality. This study aims to develop an auxiliary screening model for sarcopenia in MHD patien...

Improving lower-extremity artery depiction and diagnostic confidence using dual-energy technique and popliteal artery monitoring in dual-low dose CT angiography.

Scientific reports
To assess the utility of dual-energy CT scanning (DECTs) with popliteal artery (PA) monitoring in dual low-dose (radiation and contrast) lower-extremity CT angiography (LE-CTA). 135 patients undergoing LE-CTA were prospectively included and divided i...

Development and Validation of the Novel Exergame-Integrated Robotic Stepper Device for Seated Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Seated rehabilitation is essential in early-stage recovery for patients who can sit but cannot stand or walk. Robotic-based lower limb rehabilitation provides precise, task-specific training for recovery, but its application in seated exercises remai...

Effects of exoskeleton rehabilitation robot training on neuroplasticity and lower limb motor function in patients with stroke.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot is a new technology to improve the lower limb motor function of stroke patients. Recovery of motor function after stroke is closely related to neuroplasticity in the motor cortex and associated ...

Neuro-Modulation Analysis Based on Muscle Synergy Graph Neural Network in Human Locomotion.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The coordination of muscles in human locomotion is commonly understood as the integration of motor modules known as muscle synergies. Recent research has delved into the adaptation of muscle synergies during the acquisition of new motor skills. Howev...

Deep learning-based classification of lymphedema and other lower limb edema diseases using clinical images.

Scientific reports
Lymphedema is a chronic condition characterized by lymphatic fluid accumulation, primarily affecting the limbs. Its diagnosis is challenging due to symptom overlap with conditions like chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a...

The improved extrapolated center of mass enhances the safety of exoskeleton system.

Scientific reports
Maintaining the balance and safety of the exoskeleton human-robot coupling system is a prerequisite for realizing the rehabilitation training function. Therefore, research on the balance of lower limb exoskeleton robots has attracted much attention. ...
