Development of a Robotic Unloader Brace for Investigation of Conservative Treatment of Medial Knee Osteoarthritis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a painful and debilitating condition that is associated with mechanical loading of the knee joint. Numerous conservative treatment strategies have been developed to delay time to total joint replacement. Unloader braces a...

Preliminary Design of an Environment Recognition System for Controlling Robotic Lower-Limb Prostheses and Exoskeletons.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Drawing inspiration from autonomous vehicles, using future environment information could improve the control of wearable biomechatronic devices for assisting human locomotion. To the authors knowledge, this research represents the first documented in...

On the Design of a Novel Underactuated Robotic Finger Prosthesis for Partial Hand Amputation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a novel robotic finger prosthesis for partially amputated patients who have lost a thumb and index finger. The challenging issues were to design i) a three-degree-of-freedom (DOF) underactuated mechanism that mimics intact finger ...

Bio-inspired design and validation of the Efficient Lockable Spring Ankle (ELSA) prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Over the last decade, active lower-limb prostheses demonstrated their ability to restore a physiological gait for transfemoral amputees by supplying the required positive energy balance during daily life locomotion activities. However, the added-valu...

Real-Time On-Board Recognition of Continuous Locomotion Modes for Amputees With Robotic Transtibial Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Human intent recognition is important to the control of robotic prosthesis. In this paper, we propose a multi-level real-time on-board system to recognize continuous locomotion modes. A cascaded classification strategy is designed for the recognition...

Artificial Neural Networking Model for the Prediction of Early Occlusion of Bilateral Plastic Stent Placement for Inoperable Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma.

Surgical laparoscopy, endoscopy & percutaneous techniques
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine whether the back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN) model could be constructed to accurately in predicting early occlusion of bilateral plastic stent placement for inoperable hilar cholangiocarcin...

A Hybrid Network for ERP Detection and Analysis Based on Restricted Boltzmann Machine.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Detecting and Please provide the correct one analyzing the event-related potential (ERP) remains an important problem in neuroscience. Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio and complex spatio-temporal patterns of ERP signals, conventional methods usua...

Handmade trileaflet valve design and validation for patch-valved conduit reconstruction using generalized regression machine learning model.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Pulmonary valve diseases include the different degrees of aortic stenosis or congenital defects in children or adults. Valve repair or replacement surgery is commonly performed to relieve valvular dysfunction and improve the significant flow regurgit...

A support vector machine approach to detect trans-tibial prosthetic misalignment using 3-Dimensional ground reaction force features: A proof of concept.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Prosthetists conventionally evaluate alignment based on visual interpretation of patients' gait, which is convenient, but largely subjective and depends on prosthetists' experience.

Design of a power-asymmetric actuator for a transtibial prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the design and characterization of a power-asymmetric actuator for a transtibial prosthesis. The device is designed to provide the combination of: 1) joint locking, 2) high power dissipation, and 3) low power generation. This actu...
