Enhanced gastrocnemius-mimicking lower limb powered exoskeleton robot.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Lower limb muscle bionic devices have attracted significant attention in rehabilitation and assistive sports technology. Despite advancements in mimicking human movement, current devices still face challenges in enhancing strength and mov...

AI in therapeutic and assistive exoskeletons and exosuits: Influences on performance and autonomy.

Science robotics
Therapeutic and assistive exoskeletons and exosuits show promise in both clinical and real-world settings. Improving their autonomy can enhance usability, effectiveness, and cost efficiency. This Review presents a generic control framework for autono...

Machine learning models predict risk of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis in hospitalized patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage.

Scientific reports
Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis is one of the important complications of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. We aimed to develop a risk assessment model to predict the risk of lower extremity DVT during hospitalization in patients with spontan...

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...

Predicting mortality risk following major lower extremity amputation using machine learning.

Journal of vascular surgery
OBJECTIVE: Major lower extremity amputation for advanced vascular disease involves significant perioperative risks. Although outcome prediction tools could aid in clinical decision-making, they remain limited. To address this, we developed machine le...

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...
