The-state-of-the-art of soft robotics to assist mobility: a review of physiotherapist and patient identified limitations of current lower-limb exoskeletons and the potential soft-robotic solutions.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Soft, wearable, powered exoskeletons are novel devices that may assist rehabilitation, allowing users to walk further or carry out activities of daily living. However, soft robotic exoskeletons, and the more commonly used rigid exoskeleto...

Model of the Performance Based on Artificial Intelligence-Fuzzy Logic Description of Physical Activity.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The aim of the study was to build a fuzzy model of lower limb peak torque in an isokinetic mode. The study involved 93 male participants (28 male deaf soccer players, 19 hearing soccer players and 46 deaf untraining male). A fuzzy computational model...

Combined robot motor assistance with neural circuit-based virtual reality (NeuCir-VR) lower extremity rehabilitation training in patients after stroke: a study protocol for a single-centre randomised controlled trial.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Improving lower extremity motor function is the focus and difficulty of post-stroke rehabilitation treatment. More recently, robot-assisted and virtual reality (VR) training are commonly used in post-stroke rehabilitation and are consid...

Predictive analysis of lower limb fractures in the orthopedic complex operative unit using artificial intelligence: the case study of AOU Ruggi.

Scientific reports
The length of stay (LOS) in hospital is one of the main parameters for evaluating the management of a health facility, of its departments in relation to the different specializations. Healthcare costs are in fact closely linked to this parameter as w...

Use of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Pediatric Patients with Cerebral Palsy in an Inpatient Setting-A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) provides a task-based support of walking using exoskeletons. Evidence shows moderate, but positive effects in the therapy of patients with cerebral palsy (CP). This study investigates the impact of RAGT on walking ...

Joint mechanical properties estimation with a novel EMG-based knee rehabilitation robot: A machine learning approach.

Medical engineering & physics
Joint dynamic properties play essential roles in a wide range of biomechanical movement control. This paper develops a device with a novel mechatronic design to apply small-amplitude perturbations to the human knee. Surface Electromyography is employ...

Automatic lower limb bone segmentation in radiographs with different orientations and fields of view based on a contextual network.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Bone identification and segmentation in X-ray images are crucial in orthopedics for the automation of clinical procedures, but it often involves some manual operations. In this work, using a modified SegNet neural network, we automatically i...

Iterative reconstruction deep learning image reconstruction: comparison of image quality and diagnostic accuracy of arterial stenosis in low-dose lower extremity CT angiography.

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: To compare image quality and diagnostic accuracy of arterial stenosis in low-dose lower-extremity CT angiography (CTA) between adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction-V (ASIR-V) and deep learning image reconstruction (DLIR) algorithm...

What are the perceived benefits and barriers to the use of robot-assisted total knee arthroplasty? A survey of members of the European Knee Society.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: Members of the European Knee Society (EKS) recently took part in an online questionnaire on robot-assisted TKA. The purpose of this study was to report and analyse the questionnaire results on the demographics of users versus non-users, the ...

sEMG-Based Gain-Tuned Compliance Control for the Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot during Passive Training.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The lower limb rehabilitation robot is a typical man-machine coupling system. Aiming at the problems of insufficient physiological information and unsatisfactory safety performance in the compliance control strategy for the lower limb rehabilitation ...
