Shoulder kinematics plus contextual target information enable control of multiple distal joints of a simulated prosthetic arm and hand.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Prosthetic restoration of reach and grasp function after a trans-humeral amputation requires control of multiple distal degrees of freedom in elbow, wrist and fingers. However, such a high level of amputation reduces the amount of availab...

Deep learning method for segmentation of rotator cuff muscles on MR images.

Skeletal radiology
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) method capable of (1) selecting a specific shoulder sagittal MR image (Y-view) and (2) automatically segmenting rotator cuff (RC) muscles on a Y-view. We hypothesized a CNN ...

Deep learning for the rapid automatic quantification and characterization of rotator cuff muscle degeneration from shoulder CT datasets.

European radiology
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed at developing a convolutional neural network (CNN) able to automatically quantify and characterize the level of degeneration of rotator cuff (RC) muscles from shoulder CT images including muscle atrophy and fatty infiltra...

Basketball Activity Classification Based on Upper Body Kinematics and Dynamic Time Warping.

International journal of sports medicine
Basketball activity classification can help document players' statistics, allow coaches, trainers and the medical team to quantitatively supervise players' physical exertion and optimize training strategy, and further help prevent potential injuries....

Robot-Assisted Arm Training in Chronic Stroke: Addition of Transition-to-Task Practice.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
. Robot-assisted therapy provides high-intensity arm rehabilitation that can significantly reduce stroke-related upper extremity (UE) deficits. Motor improvement has been shown at the joints trained, but generalization to real-world function has not ...

A Deep Neural Network-based method for estimation of 3D lifting motions.

Journal of biomechanics
The aim of this study is developing and validating a Deep Neural Network (DNN) based method for 3D pose estimation during lifting. The proposed DNN based method addresses problems associated with marker-based motion capture systems like excessive pre...

Face-from-Depth for Head Pose Estimation on Depth Images.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
Depth cameras allow to set up reliable solutions for people monitoring and behavior understanding, especially when unstable or poor illumination conditions make unusable common RGB sensors. Therefore, we propose a complete framework for the estimatio...

Development of a shoulder-mounted robot for MRI-guided needle placement: phantom study.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This paper presents new quantitative data on a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) study, distortion study, and targeting accuracy phantom study for our patient-mounted robot (called Arthrobot). Arthrobot was developed as an MRI-guided needle placem...

Shoulder physiotherapy exercise recognition: machine learning the inertial signals from a smartwatch.

Physiological measurement
OBJECTIVE: Participation in a physical therapy program is considered one of the greatest predictors of successful conservative management of common shoulder disorders. However, adherence to these protocols is often poor and typically worse for unsupe...
