Exploiting the heightened phase synchrony in patients with neuromuscular disease for the establishment of efficient motor imagery BCIs.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Phase synchrony has extensively been studied for understanding neural coordination in health and disease. There are a few studies concerning the implications in the context of BCIs, but its potential for establishing a communication chann...

Ultrasound texture-based CAD system for detecting neuromuscular diseases.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: Diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases in ultrasonography is a challenging task since experts are often unable to discriminate between healthy and pathological cases. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for skeletal muscle ultrasonography w...

Myo-Guide: A Machine Learning-Based Web Application for Neuromuscular Disease Diagnosis With MRI.

Journal of cachexia, sarcopenia and muscle
BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular diseases (NMDs) are rare disorders characterized by progressive muscle fibre loss, leading to replacement by fibrotic and fatty tissue, muscle weakness and disability. Early diagnosis is critical for therapeutic decisions, c...

Refining Muscle Morphometry Through Machine Learning and Spatial Analysis.

Neuropathology and applied neurobiology
AIMS: Muscle morphology provides important information in differentiating disease aetiology, but its measurement remains challenging because of the lack of an efficient and objective method. This study aimed to quantitatively refine the morphological...

Emerging technologies in neuromuscular ultrasound.

Muscle & nerve
Neuromuscular ultrasound is an accepted and valuable element in the evaluation of peripheral nerve and muscle disease. However, ultrasound has several limitations to consider, including operator dependency and lack of a viable contrast agent. Fortuna...

Quantitative measures with WREX usage.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the results of two surveys conducted with users of a functional upper extremity orthosis called the Wilmington Robotic EXoskeleton (WREX). The WREX is a passive anti-gravity arm orthosis that allows people with neuromuscular disab...

Multiple ANN Recognizers for Adaptive Recognition of the Speech of Dysarthric Patients in AAL Systems.

Studies in health technology and informatics
People suffering from neuromuscular disorders are one of the main target groups of speech-controlled Ambient Assisted Living systems. However, the speech of these patients is often distorted because of the dysarthric symptoms of the disease. The dysa...
