Manual patient handling is one of the most significant challenges leading to musculoskeletal burden among healthcare workers. Traditional working techniques could be enhanced by innovations that can be individually adapted to the physical capacity of...
This paper presents an innovative application of a 6-DOF robot in the field of rehabilitation training. This robot operates in a parallel fashion for lower limb movement, which adopts a new structure that can help patients to carry out a variety of r...
BACKGROUND: Patients suffering from lower limb dyskinesia, especially in early stages of rehabilitation, have weak residual muscle strength in affected limb and require passive training by the lower limb rehabilitation robot. Anatomy indicates that t...
INTRODUCTION: Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is an atherosclerotic disease leading to stenosis and/or occlusion of the arterial circulation of the lower extremities. The currently available revascularisation methods have an acceptable initial succ...
Legged robots are meant to autonomously navigate unstructured environments for applications like search and rescue, inspection, or maintenance. In autonomous navigation, a close relationship between locomotion and perception is crucial; the robot has...

Estimation of joint torque during movement provides important information in several settings, such as effect of athletes' training or of a medical intervention, or analysis of the remaining muscle strength in a wearer of an assistive device. The abi...
OBJECTIVE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) has recently been used to treat movement disorders. Although studies have shown its effectiveness for chronic myelopathy, the immediate effects of HAL gait training on lower limb function have not been clari...
This study aims to develop the application of pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) for a 2-degrees of freedom (2-DOF) lower limb rehabilitation assistance training robot system. The proposed lower limb robot system can be divided into two axes, such as ...
PURPOSE: Many children who undergo MR of the knee to evaluate traumatic injury may not undergo a separate dedicated evaluation of their skeletal maturity, and we wished to investigate how accurately skeletal maturity could be automatically inferred f...
BACKGROUND: Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) applications have been proven efficient to improve diagnosis, to stratify risk, and to predict outcomes in many respective medical specialties, including in orthopaedics.
