Support vector machine for breast cancer classification using diffusion-weighted MRI histogram features: Preliminary study.

Journal of magnetic resonance imaging : JMRI
BACKGROUND: Diffusion-weighted MRI (DWI) is currently one of the fastest developing MRI-based techniques in oncology. Histogram properties from model fitting of DWI are useful features for differentiation of lesions, and classification can potentiall...

Home-based hand rehabilitation with a robotic glove in hemiplegic patients after stroke: a pilot feasibility study.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of home rehabilitation of the hand using a robotic glove, and, in addition, its effectiveness, in hemiplegic patients after stroke.

Robot Training With Vector Fields Based on Stroke Survivors' Individual Movement Statistics.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The wide variation in upper extremity motor impairments among stroke survivors necessitates more intelligent methods of customized therapy. However, current strategies for characterizing individual motor impairments are limited by the use of traditio...

A descriptive statistical analysis of volume, visibility and attitudes regarding nursing and care robots in social media.

Contemporary nurse
BACKGROUND: Technology in the healthcare sector is undergoing rapid development. One of the most prominent areas of healthcare in which robots are implemented is nursing homes. However, nursing and technology are often considered as being contradicto...

Classification of the trabecular bone structure of osteoporotic patients using machine vision.

Computers in biology and medicine
Osteoporosis is a common bone disease which often leads to fractures. Clinically, the major challenge for the automatic diagnosis of osteoporosis is the complex architecture of bones. The clinical diagnosis of osteoporosis is conventionally done usin...

Pattern of improvement in upper limb pointing task kinematics after a 3-month training program with robotic assistance in stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: When exploring changes in upper limb kinematics and motor impairment associated with motor recovery in subacute post stroke during intensive therapies involving robot-assisted training, it is not known whether trained joints improve befor...

Adaptive hybrid robotic system for rehabilitation of reaching movement after a brain injury: a usability study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Brain injury survivors often present upper-limb motor impairment affecting the execution of functional activities such as reaching. A currently active research line seeking to maximize upper-limb motor recovery after a brain injury, deals...

A hierarchical structure for human behavior classification using STN local field potentials.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Classification of human behavior from brain signals has potential application in developing closed-loop deep brain stimulation (DBS) systems. This paper presents a human behavior classification using local field potential (LFP) signals re...
