The gait1415+2 OpenSim musculoskeletal model of transfemoral amputees with a generic bone-anchored prosthesis.

Medical engineering & physics
This short communication presents the gait1415+2 musculoskeletal model, that has been developed in OpenSim to describe the lower-extremity of a human subject with transfemoral amputation wearing a generic lower-limb bone-anchored prosthesis. The mode...

Soft robotics-inspired sensing system for detecting downward movement and pistoning in prosthetic sockets: A proof-of-concept study.

Prosthetics and orthotics international
BACKGROUND: Vertical displacement of the residual limb within transtibial prosthetic socket, often known as "pistoning" or downward movement, may lead to skin breakdowns and ulcers. Downward movement is particularly difficult to self-manage for diabe...

Reliability of artificial intelligence in predicting total knee arthroplasty component sizes: a systematic review.

European journal of orthopaedic surgery & traumatology : orthopedie traumatologie
PURPOSE: This systematic review aimed to investigate the reliability of AI predictive models of intraoperative implant sizing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Using Machine Learning to Select Breast Implant Volume.

Plastic and reconstructive surgery
BACKGROUND: In breast augmentation surgery, selection of the appropriate breast implant size is a crucial step that can greatly affect patient satisfaction and the outcome of the procedure. However, this decision is often based on the subjective judg...

Soft Robotics Enables Neuroprosthetic Hand Design.

ACS nano
Development and implementation of neuroprosthetic hands is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between humans and artificial robotic systems, which aims at replacing the sensorimotor function of the upper-limb amputees as their own. Although p...

Simultaneous assessment and training of an upper-limb amputee using incremental machine-learning-based myocontrol: a single-case experimental design.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Machine-learning-based myocontrol of prosthetic devices suffers from a high rate of abandonment due to dissatisfaction with the training procedure and with the reliability of day-to-day control. Incremental myocontrol is a promising appro...

Hip arthroplasty dislocation risk calculator: evaluation of one million primary implants and twenty-five thousand dislocations with deep learning artificial intelligence in a systematic review of reviews.

International orthopaedics
PURPOSE: This paper aims to provide an overview of the possibility regarding the artificial intelligence application in orthopaedics to predict dislocation with a calculator according to the type of implant (hemiarthroplasty, standard total hip arthr...

Generating an Adaptive and Robust Walking Pattern for a Prosthetic Ankle-Foot by Utilizing a Nonlinear Autoregressive Network With Exogenous Inputs.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
One of the major challenges in developing powered lower limb prostheses is emulating the behavior of an intact lower limb with different walking speeds over diverse terrains. Numerous studies have been conducted on control algorithms in the field of ...

Toward Safe Wearer-Prosthesis Interaction: Evaluation of Gait Stability and Human Compensation Strategy Under Faults in Robotic Transfemoral Prostheses.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Although advanced wearable robots can assist human wearers, their internal faults (i.e., sensors or control errors) also pose a challenge. To ensure safe wearer-robot interactions, how internal errors by the prosthesis limb affect the stability of th...

Magnetohydrodynamic levitation for high-performance flexible pumps.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
We use magnetohydrodynamic levitation as a means to create a soft, elastomeric, solenoid-driven pump (ESP). We present a theoretical framework and fabrication of a pump designed to address the unique challenges of soft robotics, maintaining pumping p...
