INTRODUCTION: Grip strength serves as a significant marker for diagnosing and assessing sarcopenia, particularly in elderly populations. The study aims to explore the relationship between individual thigh muscle volumes and grip strength, leveraging ...
OBJECTIVES: Muscle loss after radiotherapy is associated with poorer survival in patients with oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma (OCSCC). However, the threshold of muscle loss remains unclear. This study aimed to utilize explainable artificial inte...
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...

This study proposed a U-Net based partial convolutional time-domain model for a real-time high-density surface electromyography (HD-sEMG) decomposition. The model combines U-Net and a separation block containing partial convolution, aiming to efficie...
BACKGROUND: Electromyographic (EMG) recordings indicate that both the flexor digitorum brevis and soleus muscles contribute significantly to the control of standing balance, However, less is known about the adjustments in EMG activity of these two mu...
Disassembly, as a part of the electronic waste (e-waste) management process, is a labour-intensive task. The emergence of collaborative robots (cobots) provides a robotic solution to reduce the human efforts during disassembly. This study evaluated m...
BACKGROUND: Chicken embryos emerge from their shell by the piercing movement of the hatching muscle. Although considered a key player during hatching, with activity that imposes a substantial metabolic demand, data are still limited. The study provid...
In this paper, we present a design optimization framework for a fluidic artificial muscle (FAM) bundle subject to geometric constraints. The architecture of natural skeletal muscles allows for compact actuation packaging by distributing a substantial...

OBJECTIVE: Surface electromyography (sEMG) can sense the motor commands transmitted to the muscles. This work presents a deep learning method that can decode the electrophysiological activity of the forearm muscles into the movements of the human han...
Pompe disease, a severe lysosomal storage disorder, is marked by heart problems, muscle weakness, and respiratory difficulties. This study aimed to identify novel markers for infantile-onset Pompe disease by analyzing key genes and immune cells infil...
