Convolutional Neural Network-Based Automated Segmentation of the Spinal Cord and Contusion Injury: Deep Learning Biomarker Correlates of Motor Impairment in Acute Spinal Cord Injury.

AJNR. American journal of neuroradiology
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Our aim was to use 2D convolutional neural networks for automatic segmentation of the spinal cord and traumatic contusion injury from axial T2-weighted MR imaging in a cohort of patients with acute spinal cord injury.

In-home and remote use of robotic body surrogates by people with profound motor deficits.

PloS one
By controlling robots comparable to the human body, people with profound motor deficits could potentially perform a variety of physical tasks for themselves, improving their quality of life. The extent to which this is achievable has been unclear due...

Soft robotic devices for hand rehabilitation and assistance: a narrative review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: The debilitating effects on hand function from a number of a neurologic disorders has given rise to the development of rehabilitative robotic devices aimed at restoring hand function in these patients. To combat the shortcomings of prev...

Automatic recognition of gait patterns in human motor disorders using machine learning: A review.

Medical engineering & physics
BACKGROUND: automatic recognition of human movement is an effective strategy to assess abnormal gait patterns. Machine learning approaches are mainly applied due to their ability to work with multidimensional nonlinear features.

Decoding post-stroke motor function from structural brain imaging.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Clinical research based on neuroimaging data has benefited from machine learning methods, which have the ability to provide individualized predictions and to account for the interaction among units of information in the brain. Application of machine ...

A Deep Learning Approach for Grading of Motor Impairment Severity in Parkinson's Disease.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Objective and quantitative monitoring of movement impairments is crucial for detecting progression in neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease (PD). This study examined the ability of deep learning approaches to grade motor impairment seve...

Gait-assisted exoskeletons for children with cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy: A systematic review.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are common causes of motor disability in childhood. Gait exoskeletons are currently being used as part of rehabilitation for children with walking difficulties.
