Numerical models of electromyography (EMG) signals have provided a huge contribution to our fundamental understanding of human neurophysiology and remain a central pillar of motor neuroscience and the development of human-machine interfaces. However,...
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Low muscle mass (LMM) is a critical complication in patients with obesity and diabetes, exacerbating metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Novel obesity indices, such as the body roundness index (BRI), conicity index, and relative ...
Muscle ultrasound has high utility in clinical practice and research; however, the main challenges are the training and time required for manual analysis to achieve objective quantification of muscle size and quality. We aimed to develop and validate...

The flexor synergy after stroke results in involuntary activation of distal muscles when lifting the shoulder against gravity. This contributes to impaired ability to perform activities of daily living. Robotic exoskeletons can be useful in assessing...
BACKGROUND: Quantitative muscle water T2 (T2w) mapping is regarded as a biomarker for disease activity and response to treatment in neuromuscular diseases (NMD). However, the implementation in clinical settings is limited due to long scanning times a...

BACKGROUND: We developed and evaluated a skeletal muscle deep-learning (SMDL) model using skeletal muscle computed tomography (CT) imaging to predict the survival of patients with gastric cancer (GC).
The gait analysis has been applied in many fields, such as the assessment of falling, force evaluation in sports, and gait disorder detection for neuromuscular diseases. Its main recording techniques include video cameras and wearable sensors. Howeve...
