Automatic Identification of Ultrasound Images of the Tibial Nerve in Different Ankle Positions Using Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Peripheral nerve tension is known to be related to the pathophysiology of neuropathy; however, assessing this tension is difficult in a clinical setting. In this study, we aimed to develop a deep learning algorithm for the automatic assessment of tib...

Predicting hip-knee-ankle and femorotibial angles from knee radiographs with deep learning.

The Knee
BACKGROUND: Knee alignment affects the development and surgical treatment of knee osteoarthritis. Automating femorotibial angle (FTA) and hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) measurement from radiographs could improve reliability and save time. Further, if HKA...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training on cardiopulmonary function and lower extremity strength in individuals with spinal cord injury: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has been increasingly adopted in many rehabilitation facilities for walking function and activity in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). However, the effectiveness of RAGT on lower extremity strengt...

Reaction moments matter when designing lower-extremity robots for tripping recovery.

PloS one
Balance recovery after tripping often requires an active adaptation of foot placement. Thus far, few attempts have been made to actively assist forward foot placement for balance recovery employing wearable devices. This study aims to explore the pos...

Image quality comparison of lower extremity CTA between CT routine reconstruction algorithms and deep learning reconstruction.

BMC medical imaging
BACKGROUND: To evaluate the image quality of lower extremity computed tomography angiography (CTA) with deep learning-based reconstruction (DLR) compared to model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR), hybrid-iterative reconstruction (HIR), and filte...

Comparison of the dynamics of exoskeletal-assisted and unassisted locomotion in an FDA-approved lower extremity device: Controlled experiments and development of a subject-specific virtual simulator.

PloS one
Robotic exoskeletons have considerable, but largely untapped, potential to restore mobility in individuals with neurological disorders, and other conditions that result in partial or complete immobilization. The growing demand for these devices neces...

Dynamic analysis and control of a hybrid lower limb rehabilitation robot to reduce human-robot interaction forces.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
This study presents a model of cooperation between two planar manipulators including an orthosis and a programmable plate in form of a hybrid lower limb rehabilitation robot, which was designed and built at the University of Guilan. The aims of coope...
