A Preventive Model for Muscle Injuries: A Novel Approach based on Learning Algorithms.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise
INTRODUCTION: The application of contemporary statistical approaches coming from Machine Learning and Data Mining environments to build more robust predictive models to identify athletes at high risk for injury might support injury prevention strateg...

Beijing da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Peking University. Health sciences
OBJECTIVE: To propose a kind of robotic ankle-foot rehabilitation system for children with cerebral palsy and to preliminarily verify its feasibility in clinical application.

An Optimal Method of Training the Specific Lower Limb Muscle Group Using an Exoskeletal Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper suggests a novel method of strengthening specific muscle groups in the lower limb during a functional movement. When the foot of an user wearing an exoskeletal robot follows a given path, the contribution of each muscle group to generate t...

Robotic investigation on effect of stretch reflex and crossed inhibitory response on bipedal hopping.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
To maintain balance during dynamic locomotion, the effects of proprioceptive sensory feedback control (e.g. reflexive control) should not be ignored because of its simple sensation and fast reaction time. Scientists have identified the pathways of re...

Self-powered robots to reduce motor slacking during upper-extremity rehabilitation: a proof of concept study.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is a highly promising approach to recover lost functions after stroke or other neurological disorders. Unfortunately, robotic rehabilitation currently suffers from "motor slacking", a phenomenon in which the human m...

Muscle Segmentation for Orthopedic Interventions.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
Skeletal muscle segmentation techniques can help orthopedic interventions in various scenes. In this chapter, we describe two methods of skeletal muscle segmentation on 3D CT images. The first method is based on a computational anatomical model, and ...

A wearable resistive robot facilitates locomotor adaptations during gait.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Robotic-resisted treadmill walking is a form of task-specific training that has been used to improve gait function in individuals with neurological injury, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. Traditionally, these device...

Pixel-Level Deep Segmentation: Artificial Intelligence Quantifies Muscle on Computed Tomography for Body Morphometric Analysis.

Journal of digital imaging
Pretreatment risk stratification is key for personalized medicine. While many physicians rely on an "eyeball test" to assess whether patients will tolerate major surgery or chemotherapy, "eyeballing" is inherently subjective and difficult to quantify...

Inverse estimation of multiple muscle activations based on linear logistic regression.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This study deals with a technology to estimate the muscle activity from the movement data using a statistical model. A linear regression (LR) model and artificial neural networks (ANN) have been known as statistical models for such use. Although ANN ...
