The influence of push-off timing in a robotic ankle-foot prosthesis on the energetics and mechanics of walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic ankle-foot prostheses that provide net positive push-off work can reduce the metabolic rate of walking for individuals with amputation, but benefits might be sensitive to push-off timing. Simple walking models suggest that preempt...

Design and user evaluation of a wheelchair mounted robotic assisted transfer device.

BioMed research international
PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to describe the robotic assisted transfer device (RATD) and an initial focus group evaluation by end users. The purpose of the device is to aid in the transfers of people with disabilities to and from their electric ...

Robotic-assisted pelvic lymph node dissection for prostate cancer: frequency of nodal metastases and oncological outcomes.

World journal of urology
PURPOSE: Limited data are available regarding the oncologic efficacy of pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) performed during robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) for prostate cancer. We aimed to determine the frequency of pelvic lymph n...

Machine learning approaches for integrating clinical and imaging features in late-life depression classification and response prediction.

International journal of geriatric psychiatry
OBJECTIVE: Currently, depression diagnosis relies primarily on behavioral symptoms and signs, and treatment is guided by trial and error instead of evaluating associated underlying brain characteristics. Unlike past studies, we attempted to estimate ...

Does surgeon subjective nerve sparing score predict recovery time of erectile function following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy?

The journal of sexual medicine
INTRODUCTION: During robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), the quality of nerve sparing (NS) was usually classified by laterality of NS (none, unilateral, and bilateral) or degree of NS (none, partial, and full). Recently, side-specific NS hav...

Invited commentary on comparison of robotics, functional electrical stimulation, and motor learning methods for treatment of persistent upper extremity dysfunction after stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
In this issue of Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Jessica McCabe and colleagues report findings from their methodologically sound, dose-matched clinical trial in 39 patients beyond 6 months poststroke. In this phase II trial, the eff...

An efficient machine learning approach for diagnosis of paraquat-poisoned patients.

Computers in biology and medicine
Numerous people die of paraquat (PQ) poisoning because they were not diagnosed and treated promptly at an early stage. Till now, determination of PQ levels in blood or urine is still the only way to confirm the PQ poisoning. In order to develop a new...

Huffman and linear scanning methods with statistical language models.

Augmentative and alternative communication (Baltimore, Md. : 1985)
Current scanning access methods for text generation in AAC devices are limited to relatively few options, most notably row/column variations within a matrix. We present Huffman scanning, a new method for applying statistical language models to binary...
