Characterizing the SEMG patterns with myofascial pain using a multi-scale wavelet model through machine learning approaches.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
In this paper, we introduce a newly developed multi-scale wavelet model for the interpretation of surface electromyography (SEMG) signals and validate the model's capability to characterize changes in neuromuscular activation in cases with myofascial...

Proprioceptive assessment in clinical settings: Evaluation of joint position sense in upper limb post-stroke using a robotic manipulator.

PloS one
Proprioception is a critical component for motor functions and directly affects motor learning after neurological injuries. Conventional methods for its assessment are generally ordinal in nature and hence lack sensitivity. Robotic devices designed t...

Pattern of improvement in upper limb pointing task kinematics after a 3-month training program with robotic assistance in stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: When exploring changes in upper limb kinematics and motor impairment associated with motor recovery in subacute post stroke during intensive therapies involving robot-assisted training, it is not known whether trained joints improve befor...

Experimental evaluation of a novel robotic hospital bed mover with omni-directional mobility.

Applied ergonomics
Bed pushing during patient transfer is one of the most physically demanding and yet common tasks in the hospital setting. Powered bed movers have been increasingly introduced to hospitals to reduce physiological strains on the users. This study intro...

Robotic quantification of upper extremity loss of independent joint control or flexion synergy in individuals with hemiparetic stroke: a review of paradigms addressing the effects of shoulder abduction loading.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Unsupported or "against-gravity" reaching and hand opening movements are greatly impaired in individuals with hemiparetic stroke. The reduction in reaching excursion and hand opening is thought to be primarily limited by abnormal muscle co-activation...

Ability of electrical stimulation therapy to improve the effectiveness of robotic training for paretic upper limbs in patients with stroke.

Medical engineering & physics
We investigated whether untriggered neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) can increase the effectiveness of shoulder and elbow robotic training in patients with hemiparesis. Thirty subacute stroke patients were randomly equally allocated to rob...

Can shoulder joint reaction forces be estimated by neural networks?

Journal of biomechanics
To facilitate the development of future shoulder endoprostheses, a long term load profile of the shoulder joint is desired. A musculoskeletal model using 3D kinematics and external forces as input can estimate the mechanical load on the glenohumeral ...

Can we screen opportunistically for low bone mineral density using CT scans of the shoulder and artificial intelligence?

The British journal of radiology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the CT attenuation of bones seen on shoulder CT scans could be used to predict low bone mineral density (BMD) (osteopenia/osteoporosis), and to compare the performance of two machine learning models to predict low BMD.

Artificial intelligence- and computer-assisted navigation for shoulder surgery.

Journal of orthopaedic surgery (Hong Kong)
Over the last few decades, shoulder surgery has undergone rapid advancements, with ongoing exploration and the development of innovative technological approaches. In the coming years, technologies such as robot-assisted surgeries, virtual reality, a...
