Anticipatory detection of turning in humans for intuitive control of robotic mobility assistance.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Many wearable lower-limb robots for walking assistance have been developed in recent years. However, it remains unclear how they can be commanded in an intuitive and efficient way by their user. In particular, providing robotic assistance to neurolog...

Osteopathic manual therapy in heart failure patients: A randomized clinical trial.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
BACKGROUND: Heart Failure (HF) patients usually present with increased arterial resistance and reduced blood pressure (BP) leading to an impaired functional capacity. Osteopathic Manual Therapy (OMT) focused on myofascial release techniques (MRT) and...

Physical human-robot interaction of an active pelvis orthosis: toward ergonomic assessment of wearable robots.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In human-centered robotics, exoskeletons are becoming relevant for addressing needs in the healthcare and industrial domains. Owing to their close interaction with the user, the safety and ergonomics of these systems are critical design f...

Extended versus standard pelvic lymphadenectomy during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy: the role of extended template as an independent predictor of lymph node invasion with comparable morbidity burden.

Minerva urologica e nefrologica = The Italian journal of urology and nephrology
BACKGROUND: To assess oncologic and surgical outcomes in patients subjected to standard (S) versus extended (E) pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

On the Adaptation of Pelvic Motion by Applying 3-dimensional Guidance Forces Using TPAD.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Pelvic movement is important to human locomotion as the center of mass is located near the center of pelvis. Lateral pelvic motion plays a crucial role to shift the center of mass on the stance leg, while swinging the other leg and keeping the body b...

Preoperative assessment of lymph node metastasis in endometrial cancer: A Korean Gynecologic Oncology Group study.

Cancer
BACKGROUND: Previously proposed criteria for preoperatively identifying endometrial cancer patients at low risk for lymph node metastasis remain to be verified. For this purpose, a prospective, multicenter observational study was performed.

A novel robot for imposing perturbations during overground walking: mechanism, control and normative stepping responses.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The most common approach to studying dynamic balance during walking is by applying perturbations. Previous studies that investigated dynamic balance responses predominantly focused on applying perturbations in frontal plane while walking ...

Accurate Segmentation of CT Male Pelvic Organs via Regression-Based Deformable Models and Multi-Task Random Forests.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Segmenting male pelvic organs from CT images is a prerequisite for prostate cancer radiotherapy. The efficacy of radiation treatment highly depends on segmentation accuracy. However, accurate segmentation of male pelvic organs is challenging due to l...
