Application of chaos in a recurrent neural network to control in ill-posed problems: a novel autonomous robot arm.

Biological cybernetics
Inspired by a viewpoint that complex/chaotic dynamics would play an important role in biological systems including the brain, chaotic dynamics introduced in a recurrent neural network was applied to robot control in ill-posed situations. By computer ...

Adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system-based path planning of 5-degrees-of-freedom spatial manipulator for medical applications.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Over the last few decades, medical-assisted robots have been considered by many researchers, within the research domain of robotics. In this article, a 5-degrees-of-freedom spatial medical manipulator is analyzed for path planning, based on inverse k...

Effects of Proud Large Osteochondral Plugs on Contact Forces and Knee Kinematics: A Robotic Study.

The American journal of sports medicine
BACKGROUND: Osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation is used to treat large focal femoral condylar articular cartilage defects. A proud plug could affect graft survival by altering contact forces (CFs) and knee kinematics.

Automated objective robot-assisted assessment of wrist passive ranges of motion.

Journal of biomechanics
The measurement of wrist passive ranges of motion (ROMs) can provide insight into improvements and allow for effective monitoring during a rehabilitation program. Compared with conventional methods, this study proposed a new robotic assessment techni...

Mobile technology and telemedicine for shoulder range of motion: validation of a motion-based machine-learning software development kit.

Journal of shoulder and elbow surgery
BACKGROUND: Mobile technology offers the prospect of delivering high-value care with increased patient access and reduced costs. Advances in mobile health (mHealth) and telemedicine have been inhibited by the lack of interconnectivity between devices...

Human arm joints reconstruction algorithm in rehabilitation therapies assisted by end-effector robotic devices.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: End-effector robots are commonly used in robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation therapies for upper limbs where the patient's hand can be easily attached to a splint. Nevertheless, they are not able to estimate and control the kinematic conf...

Intra-articular collagenase injection increases range of motion in a rat knee flexion contracture model.

Drug design, development and therapy
OBJECTIVES: A knee joint contracture, a loss in passive range of motion (ROM), can be caused by prolonged immobility. In a rat knee immobilization flexion contracture model, the posterior capsule was shown to contribute to an irreversible limitation ...

Design, characterisation and evaluation of a soft robotic sock device on healthy subjects for assisted ankle rehabilitation.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Motor impairment is one of the common neurological conditions suffered by stroke patients, where this chronic immobility together with the absence of early limb mobilisation can lead to conditions such as joint contracture with spastic limbs. In this...

Joint Hand Detection and Rotation Estimation Using CNN.

IEEE transactions on image processing : a publication of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
Hand detection is essential for many hand related tasks, e.g., recovering hand pose and understanding gesture. However, hand detection in uncontrolled environments is challenging due to the flexibility of wrist joint and cluttered background. We prop...
