A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Compression Therapy of the Lower Limb.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
'We present the development of a soft robotic-inspired device for lower limb compression therapy with application in the treatment of lymphedema. This device integrates the control capabilities of pneumatic devices with the wearability and low cost o...

Real-Time Analysis of the Dynamic Foot Function: A Machine Learning and Finite Element Approach.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Finite element analysis (FEA) has been widely used to study foot biomechanics and pathological functions or effects of therapeutic solutions. However, development and analysis of such foot modeling is complex and time-consuming. The purpose of this s...

Prediction of Plantar Forces During Gait Using Wearable Sensors and Deep Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To enable on-time and high-fidelity lower-limb exoskeleton control, it is effective to predict the future human motion from the observed status. In this research, we propose a novel method to predict future plantar force during the gait using IMU and...

Design and Development of a Sitting Posture Recognition System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sitting posture recognition can be used to evaluate the awareness of a person carrying out a task, such as working or driving, and can aid in avoiding accidents or other health risks, such as musculoskeletal disorders. In addition, sitting posture ca...

A prototype single-port device for pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy. Technical feasibility and local drug distribution.

Acta cirurgica brasileira
PURPOSE: To evaluate the technical feasibility and homogeneity of drug distribution of pressurized intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy (PIPAC) based on a novel process of intraperitoneal drug application (multidirectional aerosolization).

The force control and path planning of electromagnetic induction-based massage robot.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Massage robot is considered as an effective physiological treatment to relieve fatigue, improve blood circulation, relax muscle tone, etc. The simple massage equipment quickly spread into market due to low cost, but they are not widely ac...

Design and characterization of low-cost fabric-based flat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We present the design of low-cost fabric-based Hat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application. The soft assistive glove is designed to assist hand impaired patients in performing activities of daily living and rehabilitation. The actuat...

Pavement type and wear condition classification from tire cavity acoustic measurements with artificial neural networks.

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America
Tire road noise is the major contributor to traffic noise, which leads to general annoyance, speech interference, and sleep disturbances. Standardized methods to measure tire road noise are expensive, sophisticated to use, and they cannot be applied ...

Unsupervised Abbreviation Expansion in Clinical Narratives.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Clinical narratives are typically produced under time pressure, which incites the use of abbreviations and acronyms. To expand such short forms in a correct way eases text comprehension and further semantic processing. We propose a completely unsuper...
