Deep learning based sarcopenia prediction from shear-wave ultrasonographic elastography and gray scale ultrasonography of rectus femoris muscle.

Scientific reports
We aim to evaluate the performance of a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) in predicting the presence or absence of sarcopenia using shear-wave elastography (SWE) and gray-scale ultrasonography (GSU) of rectus femoris muscle as an imaging bioma...

Automatic quadriceps and patellae segmentation of MRI with cascaded U -Net and SASSNet deep learning model.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: Automatic muscle segmentation is critical for advancing our understanding of human physiology, biomechanics, and musculoskeletal pathologies, as it allows for timely exploration of large multi-dimensional image sets. Segmentation models are ...

A Combined Hot and Hypoxic Environment during Maximal Cycling Sprints Reduced Muscle Oxygen Saturation: A Pilot Study.

Journal of sports science & medicine
The present study investigated the effects of a combined hot and hypoxic environment on muscle oxygenation during repeated 15-s maximal cycling sprints. In a single-blind, cross-over study, nine trained sprinters performed three 15-s maximal cycling ...

EMG Muscle Activation Pattern of Four Lower Extremity Muscles during Stair Climbing, Motor Imagery, and Robot-Assisted Stepping: A Cross-Sectional Study in Healthy Individuals.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: Stair climbing can be a challenging part of daily life and a limiting factor for social participation, in particular for patients after stroke. In order to promote motor relearning of stair climbing, different therapeutical measures can b...

A machine learning approach for the identification of new biomarkers for knee osteoarthritis development in overweight and obese women.

Osteoarthritis and cartilage
OBJECTIVE: Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is among the higher contributors to global disability. Despite its high prevalence, currently, there is no cure for this disease. Furthermore, the available diagnostic approaches have large precision errors and low...

Robot-Assisted Training Early After Cardiac Surgery.

Journal of cardiac surgery
BACKGROUND: To assess feasibility and safety of a robot-assisted gait therapy with the LokomatĀ® system in patients early after open heart surgery.

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted Muscular Ultrasonography for Assessing Inflammation and Muscle Mass in Patients at Risk of Malnutrition.

Nutrients
BACKGROUND: Malnutrition, influenced by inflammation, is associated with muscle depletion and body composition changes. This study aimed to evaluate muscle mass and quality using Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enhanced ultrasonography in patients with ...

Testing robot-based assist-as-needed therapy for improving active participation of a patient during early neurorehabilitation: a case study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this study, a patient in the Intensive Care-Unit received robot-based mobilization therapy with an assist-as-needed (AAN) function over the course of three weeks. Therapists were able to adapt the hip range of motion $\beta$, the bed verticalizati...
