Validity of AI-Based Gait Analysis for Simultaneous Measurement of Bilateral Lower Limb Kinematics Using a Single Video Camera.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Accuracy validation of gait analysis using pose estimation with artificial intelligence (AI) remains inadequate, particularly in objective assessments of absolute error and similarity of waveform patterns. This study aimed to clarify objective measur...

A Novel Prediction Method of Transfer-Assisted Action Oriented to Individual Differences for the Excretion Care Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The excretion care robot's (ECR) accurate recognition of transfer-assisted actions is crucial during its usage. However, transfer action recognition is a challenging task, especially since the differentiation of actions seriously affects its recognit...

A novel approach for diabetic foot diagnosis: Deep learning-based detection of lower extremity arterial stenosis.

Diabetes research and clinical practice
PURPOSE OF THE STUDY: Assessing the lower extremity arterial stenosis scores (LEASS) in patients with diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a challenging task that requires considerable time and efforts from physicians, and it may yield varying results. The p...

Human-in-the-Loop Optimization of Wearable Robotic Devices to Improve Human-Robot Interaction: A Systematic Review.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
This article presents a systematic review on wearable robotic devices that use human-in-the-loop optimization (HILO) strategies to improve human-robot interaction. A total of 46 HILO studies were identified and divided into upper and lower limb robot...

Deep learning generated lower extremity radiographic measurements are adequate for quick assessment of knee angular alignment and leg length determination.

Skeletal radiology
PURPOSE: Angular and longitudinal deformities of leg alignment create excessive stresses across joints, leading to pain and impaired function. Multiple measurements are used to assess these deformities on anteroposterior (AP) full-length radiographs....

Acute effects of robot-assisted body weight unloading on biomechanical movement patterns during overground walking.

Journal of biomechanics
Body weight unloading (BWU) is used in rehabilitation/training settings to reduce kinetic requirements, however different BWU methods may be unequally capable of preserving biomechanical movement patterns. Biomechanical analysis of both kinetic and k...

Estimation of Lower Limb Joint Angles and Joint Moments during Different Locomotive Activities Using the Inertial Measurement Units and a Hybrid Deep Learning Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Using inertial measurement units (IMUs) to estimate lower limb joint kinematics and kinetics can provide valuable information for disease diagnosis and rehabilitation assessment. To estimate gait parameters using IMUs, model-based filtering approache...

Predicting trabecular arrangement in the proximal femur: An artificial neural network approach for varied geometries and load cases.

Journal of biomechanics
Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) approaches can solve the same problems as the finite element method (FEM) with a high degree of accuracy in a fraction of the required time, by learning from previously presented data. In this work, the bo...

Human lower leg muscles grow asynchronously.

Journal of anatomy
Muscle volume must increase substantially during childhood growth to generate the power required to propel the growing body. One unresolved but fundamental question about childhood muscle growth is whether muscles grow at equal rates; that is, if mus...

Research on a New Rehabilitation Robot for Balance Disorders.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The treatment of patients with balance disorders is an urgent problem to be solved by the medical community. The causes of balance disorders are diverse. An aging population, traffic accidents, stroke, genetic diseases and so on are all possible fact...
