UNLABELLED: Constant-force isometric muscle training is useful for increasing the maximal strength , rehabilitation and work-fatigue assessment. Earlier studies have shown that muscle fatigue characteristics can be used for evaluating muscle enduranc...
The aim of this study was to predict carcass tissue composition of goat kids using the decision tree with CHAID algorithm (DT) and artificial neural network (ANN) method in comparison with classical step-wise regression (SWR) analyse. Data were obtai...
This study presents a novel idea of rebraiding thin McKibben muscles to overcome their limitation of contraction. The thin McKibben muscles, presented in the authors' previous work, have the flexibility that allows them to be braided. According to th...

The loss of skeletal muscle mass is recognized as a complication of several chronic diseases and is associated with increased mortality and a decreased quality of life. Relevant and reliable animal models in which muscle wasting can be monitored noni...
The neuromuscular disorders are diagnosed using electromyographic (EMG) signals. Machine learning algorithms are employed as a decision support system to diagnose neuromuscular disorders. This paper compares bagging and boosting ensemble learning met...

In the medical ultrasound field, ultrafast imaging has recently become a hot topic. However, the diagnostic reliability of ultrafast high-frame rate plane-wave (PW) imaging is reduced by its low-quality images. The medical ultrasound equipment on the...
Spasticity of the ankle reduces quality of life by impeding walking and other activities of daily living. Robot-driven continuous passive movement (CPM) is a strategy for lower limb spasticity management but effects on spasticity, walking ability and...
Machine learning has been widely used in medical image analysis under an assumption that the training and test data are under the same feature distributions. However, medical images from difference devices or the same device with different parameter ...
