Performance of a Novel Muscle Synergy Approach for Continuous Motion Estimation on Untrained Motion.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
When applying continuous motion estimation (CME) model based on sEMG to human-robot system, it is inevitable to encounter scenarios in which the motions performed by the user are different from the motions in the training stage of the model. It has b...

Modelling human postural stability and muscle activation augmented by a supernumerary robotic tail.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Wearable robots have promising characteristics for human augmentation; however, the the design and specification stage needs to consider biomechanical impact. In this work, musculoskeletal software is used to assess the biomechanical implications of ...

Real-Time Calibration-Free Musculotendon Kinematics for Neuromusculoskeletal Models.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Neuromusculoskeletal (NMS) models enable non-invasive estimation of clinically important internal biomechanics. A critical part of NMS modelling is the estimation of musculotendon kinematics, which comprise musculotendon unit lengths, moment arms, an...

Comparison of feed-forward control strategies for simplified vertical hopping model with intrinsic muscle properties.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
To analyse walking, running or hopping motions, models with high degrees of freedom are usually used. However simple reductionist models are advantageous within certain limits. In a simple manner, the hopping motion is generally modelled by a spring-...

Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets.

Science robotics
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...

Multifunctional Magnetic Muscles for Soft Robotics.

Nature communications
Despite recent advancements, artificial muscles have not yet been able to strike the right balance between exceptional mechanical properties and dexterous actuation abilities that are found in biological systems. Here, we present an artificial magnet...

Electrohydraulic musculoskeletal robotic leg for agile, adaptive, yet energy-efficient locomotion.

Nature communications
Robotic locomotion in unstructured terrain demands an agile, adaptive, and energy-efficient architecture. To traverse such terrains, legged robots use rigid electromagnetic motors and sensorized drivetrains to adapt to the environment actively. These...

Predictive modeling of lean body mass, appendicular lean mass, and appendicular skeletal muscle mass using machine learning techniques: A comprehensive analysis utilizing NHANES data and the Look AHEAD study.

PloS one
This study addresses the pressing need for improved methods to predict lean mass in adults, and in particular lean body mass (LBM), appendicular lean mass (ALM), and appendicular skeletal muscle mass (ASMM) for the early detection and management of s...

Enhancing Sports Injury Risk Assessment in Soccer Through Machine Learning and Training Load Analysis.

Journal of sports science & medicine
Sports injuries pose significant challenges in athlete welfare and team dynamics, particularly in high-intensity sports like soccer. This study used machine learning algorithms to assess non-contact injury risk in professional male soccer players fro...

Artificial neural network inference analysis identified novel genes and gene interactions associated with skeletal muscle aging.

Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle
BACKGROUND: Sarcopenia is an age-related muscle disease that increases the risk of falls, disabilities, and death. It is associated with increased muscle protein degradation driven by molecular signalling pathways including Akt and FOXO1. This study ...
