Fore-aft resistance applied at the center of mass using a novel robotic interface proportionately increases propulsive force generation in healthy nonimpaired individuals walking at a constant speed.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Past studies have utilized external interfaces like resistive bands and motor-generated pulling systems to increase limb propulsion during walking on a motorized treadmill. However, assessing changes in limb propulsion against increasing ...

Comprehensive analysis of efficient swimming using articulated legs fringed with flexible appendages inspired by a water beetle.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Drag-based swimming is usually accompanied with the shape change of rowing appendages to generate asymmetric force during the power stroke and recovery stroke. To implement this in an aquatic robot, one may actively control the surface area of its le...

A Multi-Mode Rehabilitation Robot With Magnetorheological Actuators Based on Human Motion Intention Estimation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Lower extremity paralysis has become common in recent years, and robots have been developed to help patients recover from it. This paper presents such a robotic system that allows for two working modes, the robot-active mode and human-active mode. Th...

Time-delay estimation based computed torque control with robust adaptive RBF neural network compensator for a rehabilitation exoskeleton.

ISA transactions
A new approach to gait rehabilitation task of a 12 DOF lower limb exoskeleton is proposed combining time-delay estimation (TDE) based computed torque control (CTC) and robust adaptive RBF neural networks. In addition to the conventional advantages of...

New Motion Intention Acquisition Method of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot Based on Static Torque Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The rehabilitation robot is an application of robotic technology for people with limb disabilities. This paper investigates a new applicable and effective sitting/lying lower limb rehabilitation robot (the LLR-Ro). In order to improve the patient's t...

Efficacy of Cardiac Rehabilitation with Assistance from Hybrid Assistive Limb in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Study.

Cardiology
The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) provides motion assistance based on bioelectrical signals detected on the skin surface when muscle forces are generated. The lumbar-type HAL is expected to expand the therapeutic options for severe cardiac patients who...

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Lower Extremity Arthroplasty: A Review.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Driven by the rapid development of big data and processing power, artificial intelligence and machine learning (ML) applications are poised to expand orthopedic surgery frontiers. Lower extremity arthroplasty is uniquely positioned to mos...

Fully Automated Segmentation of Lower Extremity Deep Vein Thrombosis Using Convolutional Neural Network.

BioMed research international
OBJECTIVE: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a disease caused by abnormal blood clots in deep veins. Accurate segmentation of DVT is important to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment. In the current study, we proposed a fully automatic method of DVT de...

Predicting Inpatient Payments Prior to Lower Extremity Arthroplasty Using Deep Learning: Which Model Architecture Is Best?

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Recent advances in machine learning have given rise to deep learning, which uses hierarchical layers to build models, offering the ability to advance value-based healthcare by better predicting patient outcomes and costs of a given treatm...

EMG Muscle Activation Pattern of Four Lower Extremity Muscles during Stair Climbing, Motor Imagery, and Robot-Assisted Stepping: A Cross-Sectional Study in Healthy Individuals.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: Stair climbing can be a challenging part of daily life and a limiting factor for social participation, in particular for patients after stroke. In order to promote motor relearning of stair climbing, different therapeutical measures can b...
