The effect of leg compliance in multi-directional jumping of a flea-inspired mechanism.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Feb 10, 2017
Inspired by the relationship between leg compliance and jumping performance in the false stick insect, this paper describes how variations in leg compliance and jumping direction affect the performance of a flea-inspired jumping mechanism. The amount...
Mining peripheral arterial disease cases from narrative clinical notes using natural language processing.
Journal of vascular surgery
Feb 8, 2017
OBJECTIVE: Lower extremity peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is highly prevalent and affects millions of individuals worldwide. We developed a natural language processing (NLP) system for automated ascertainment of PAD cases from clinical narrative n...
Feasibility and safety of early lower limb robot-assisted training in sub-acute stroke patients: a pilot study.
European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
Jan 12, 2017
BACKGROUND: So far, the development of robotic devices for the early lower limb mobilization in the sub-acute phase after stroke has received limited attention.
Predictors of in-hospital mortality following major lower extremity amputations in type 2 diabetic patients using artificial neural networks.
BMC medical research methodology
Nov 22, 2016
BACKGROUND: Outcome prediction is important in the clinical decision-making process. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have been used to predict the risk of post-operative events, including survival, and are increasingly being used in complex medical ...
A new 3D center of mass control approach for FES-assisted standing: First experimental evaluation with a humanoid robot.
Medical engineering & physics
Sep 28, 2016
This paper proposes a new control framework to restore the coordination between upper (functional) and lower (paralyzed) limbs in the context of functional electrical stimulation in completely paraplegic individuals. A kinematic decoupling between th...
Technology-assisted stroke rehabilitation in Mexico: a pilot randomized trial comparing traditional therapy to circuit training in a Robot/technology-assisted therapy gym.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Sep 15, 2016
BACKGROUND: Stroke rehabilitation in low- and middle-income countries, such as Mexico, is often hampered by lack of clinical resources and funding. To provide a cost-effective solution for comprehensive post-stroke rehabilitation that can alleviate t...
Ambulatory activity classification with dendogram-based support vector machine: Application in lower-limb active exoskeleton.
Gait & posture
Aug 21, 2016
Ambulatory activity classification is an active area of research for controlling and monitoring state initiation, termination, and transition in mobility assistive devices such as lower-limb exoskeletons. State transition of lower-limb exoskeletons r...
Theoretical and experimental study on a compliant flipper-leg during terrestrial locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Aug 17, 2016
An amphibious robot with straight compliant flipper-legs can conquer various amphibious environments. The robot can rotate its flipper-legs and utilize their large deflection to walk on rough terrain, and it can oscillate the straight flipper-legs to...
Robot-aided assessment of lower extremity functions: a review.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Aug 2, 2016
The assessment of sensorimotor functions is extremely important to understand the health status of a patient and its change over time. Assessments are necessary to plan and adjust the therapy in order to maximize the chances of individual recovery. N...
Comparison of adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) and Gaussian processes for machine learning (GPML) algorithms for the prediction of skin temperature in lower limb prostheses.
Medical engineering & physics
Jul 21, 2016
Monitoring of the interface temperature at skin level in lower-limb prosthesis is notoriously complicated. This is due to the flexible nature of the interface liners used impeding the required consistent positioning of the temperature sensors during ...
