In this paper, a method is proposed to enable real-time monitoring of muscle forces during robotic rehabilitation therapy in the ICU. This method is solely based on sensor information provided by the rehabilitation robot. In current clinical practice...
Identification of muscle-tendon force generation properties and muscle activities from physiological measurements, e.g., motion data and raw surface electromyography (sEMG), offers opportunities to construct a subject-specific musculoskeletal (MSK) d...

In this study, a patient in the Intensive Care-Unit received robot-based mobilization therapy with an assist-as-needed (AAN) function over the course of three weeks. Therapists were able to adapt the hip range of motion $\beta$, the bed verticalizati...
BACKGROUND: For prediction of many types of clinical outcome, the skeletal muscle mass can be used as an independent biomarker. Manual segmentation of the skeletal muscles is time-consuming, therefore we present a deeplearning-based approach for the ...

This study aimed to investigate the performance of least-squares support vector machines to predict carcass characteristics in Tan sheep using noninvasive in vivo measurements. A total of 80 six-month-old Tan sheep (37 rams and 43 ewes) were examined...
Sarcopenia, characterized by a decline of skeletal muscle mass, has emerged as an important prognostic factor for cancer patients. Trunk computed tomography (CT) is a commonly used modality for assessment of cancer disease extent and treatment outcom...
