This article reports our study on a reduced adaptive fuzzy decoupling control for our lower limb exoskeleton system which typically is a multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) uncertain nonlinear system. To show the applicability and generality of the propo...

PURPOSE: With few treatment options available for non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP), a robotic lower extremity gait trainer may provide a non-invasive addition to conventional treatment options. This case study investigates the usage a...
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a deep learning model to assist radiologists in classifying lower extremity arteries based on the degree of arterial stenosis caused by plaque in lower extremity computed tomography angiog...

PURPOSE: To analyse the versatility and adaptability of commercially available exoskeletons for mobility assistance and their adaptation to diverse pathologies through a review of clinical trials in robotic lower limb training.
Safety is a significant evaluation index of rehabilitation medical devices and a significant precondition for practical application. However, the safety evaluation of cable-driven rehabilitation robots has not been reported, so this work aims to stud...

Significant inherent extra-articular varus angulation is associated with abnormal postoperative hip-knee-ankle (HKA) angle. At present, HKA is manually measured by orthopedic surgeons and it increases the doctors' workload. To automatically determine...
A novel method for recognizing the phases in bicycling of lower limb amputees using support vector machine (SVM) optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) is proposed in this paper. The method is essential for enhanced prosthetic knee joint cont...
Kinetics data such as ground reaction forces (GRFs) are commonly used as indicators for rehabilitation and sports performance; however, they are difficult to measure with convenient wearable devices. Therefore, researchers have attempted to estimate ...
The standard camera- and force plate-based set-up for motion analysis suffers from the disadvantage of being limited to laboratory settings. Since adaptive algorithms are able to learn the connection between known inputs and outputs and generalise th...
