Neural Networks-Based Approach to Solve Inverse Kinematics Problems for Medical Applications.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
GOAL: Motion capture is used for recording complex human movements that is increasingly applied in medicine. We describe a novel algorithm of combining a machine learning approach with biomechanics to enable fast and robust analysis of motion capture...

Adaptive Learning based Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Training System with Collaborative Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Rehabilitation training for patients with motor disabilities usually requires specialized devices in rehabilitation centers. Home-based multi-purpose training would significantly increase treatment accessibility and reduce medical costs. While it is ...

A Feature-Encoded Physics-Informed Parameter Identification Neural Network for Musculoskeletal Systems.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Identification of muscle-tendon force generation properties and muscle activities from physiological measurements, e.g., motion data and raw surface electromyography (sEMG), offers opportunities to construct a subject-specific musculoskeletal (MSK) d...

Measuring Knee Joint Laxity in Three Degrees-of-Freedom In Vivo Using a Robotics- and Image-Based Technology.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Accurate and reliable information about three-dimensional (3D) knee joint laxity can prevent misdiagnosis and avoid incorrect treatments. Nevertheless, knee laxity assessments presented in the literature suffer from significant drawbacks such as soft...

ARMStick - An Intuitive Therapist Interface for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robots.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Currently, therapists struggle with interaction of rehabilitation robots due to non-intuitive interfaces. Therefore their acceptance of these robots are limited. This paper presents the development of ARMStick, a lightweight and small robotic interfa...

Testing the Limit Range of Motion Safety Function of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robots with an Anthropometrically Adjustable and Sensorized Dummy Limb.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Arm type or exoskeleton type rehabilitation robots move the patient's upper limb through one or more, either free or restrained connection points. The rehabilitation robot is unsafe if it moves the patient's upper limb beyond the limits of the anatom...

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...

[Management of the nondisplaced type Herbert D1 scaphoid fracture with robot navigation combined with wrist arthroscopy].

Zhonghua yi xue za zhi
To investigate the feasibility and the clinical efficiency of robot navigation combined with wrist arthroscopy in minimally invasive treatment of nondisplaced type Herbert D1 scaphoid fracture. A retrospective analysis was performed on 9 patients who...

Usability evaluation of an interactive leg press training robot for children with neuromuscular impairments.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The use of robotic technology for neurorehabilitative applications has become increasingly important for adults and children with different motor impairments.

Design and kinematical performance analysis of the 7-DOF upper-limb exoskeleton toward improving human-robot interface in active and passive movement training.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Upper-limb rehabilitation robots have become an important piece of equipment in stroke rehabilitation. The design of exoskeleton mechanisms plays a key role to improve human-robot interface in the upper-limb movements under passive and ac...
