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...

The number of patients requiring hip and knee arthroplasty continues to rise each year. Patients are living longer and expecting to remain active into later life following joint replacement. Developments in computer-assisted surgery and robotic techn...
Robot-aided gait training (RAGT) has been implemented to provide patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with a physiological limb activation during gait, cognitive engagement, and an appropriate stimulation of peripheral receptors, which are essentia...
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach...

To date, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has infected millions of people worldwide. Ultrasound plays an indispensable role in the diagnosis, monitoring, and follow-up of patients with COVID-19. In this study, we used a robotic tele-echography sys...
This paper describes a system for allowing a therapist to record specific motions, as a part of a rehabilitation program, mainly aimed at the elderly people, by using a Natural User Interface based on gestures. Motions are sent to an exoskeleton robo...
