Machine Learning in Intravascular Ultrasound: Validating Automated Lesion Assessment for Complex Coronary Interventions.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
BACKGROUND: Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is essential for assessing complex coronary lesions, but remains underutilized in part due to difficulties in image interpretation. The AVVIGO IVUS Automated Lesion Assessment (ALA) software, which uses mac...

A low-cost transhumeral prosthesis operated via an ML-assisted EEG-head gesture control system.

Journal of neural engineering
Key challenges in upper limb prosthetics include a lack of effective control systems, the often invasive surgical requirements of brain-controlled limbs, and prohibitive costs. As a result, disuse rates remain high despite potential for increased qua...

Merging motoneuron and postural synergies in prosthetic hand design for natural bionic interfacing.

Science robotics
Despite the advances in bionic reconstruction of missing limbs, the control of robotic limbs is still limited and, in most cases, not felt to be as natural by users. In this study, we introduce a control approach that combines robotic design based on...

Artificial Intelligence-Guided Inverse Design of Deployable Thermo-Metamaterial Implants.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Current limitations in implant design often lead to trade-offs between minimally invasive surgery and achieving the desired post-implantation functionality. Here, we present an artificial intelligence inverse design paradigm for creating deployable i...

Human Collaborative Control of Lower-Limb Prosthesis Based on Game Theory and Fuzzy Approximation.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
For leg prosthesis user, the soft tissue and skin under the stump of are not accustomed to weight bearing, excessive continuous contact pressure can lead to the risk of degenerative tissue ulceration. This article presents a novel human-robot collabo...

Evaluation of a novel robotic testing method for stability and kinematics of total knee arthroplasty.

Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
PURPOSE: This work developed a novel preclinical test of total knee replacements (TKRs) in order to explain TKR instability linked to patient dissatisfaction. It was hypothesized that stability tests on the isolated moving prostheses would provide no...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of Transtibial Prosthetic Socket Shape Design Using Artificial Intelligence: A Clinical Comparison With Traditional Plaster Cast Socket Designs.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility of creating an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to enhance prosthetic socket shapes for transtibial prostheses, aiming for a less operator-dependent, standardized approach.

Restoration of grasping in an upper limb amputee using the myokinetic prosthesis with implanted magnets.

Science robotics
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...

A new modular neuroprosthesis suitable for hybrid FES-robot applications and tailored assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: To overcome the application limitations of functional electrical stimulation (FES), such as fatigue or nonlinear muscle response, the combination of neuroprosthetic systems with robotic devices has been evaluated, resulting in hybrid syst...

Automated transtibial prosthesis alignment: A systematic review.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
This comprehensive systematic review critically analyzes the current progress and challenges in automating transtibial prosthesis alignment. The manual identification of alignment changes in prostheses has been found to lack reliability, necessitatin...
