PURPOSE: Robotics-assisted tilt-table (RTT) technology allows neurological rehabilitation therapy to be started early thus alleviating some secondary complications of prolonged bed rest. This study assessed the feasibility of a novel work-rate-guided...
BACKGROUND: The immune microenvironment significantly influences neural regeneration in spinal cord injury (SCI). Lactate activates central nervous system (CNS) glial cells, prompting the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and triggering an infla...
Machine learning technology has been extensively applied in the medical field, particularly in the context of disease prediction and patient rehabilitation assessment. Acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) is a sudden trauma that frequently results in seve...

BACKGROUND: A severe spinal cord injury (SCI) can profoundly affect an individual's physical abilities and social independence. For individuals living with tetraplegia, an assistive robotic arm offers the potential to restore some autonomy and reduce...
Purpose To develop a deep learning tool for the automatic segmentation of the spinal cord and intramedullary lesions in spinal cord injury (SCI) on T2-weighted MRI scans. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included MRI data acquired betwe...

Without finger function, people with C5-7 spinal cord injury (SCI) regularly utilize wrist extension to passively close the fingers and thumb together for grasping. Wearable assistive grasping devices often focus on this familiar wrist-driven techniq...
With advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) has been widely applied to predict functional outcomes in clinical medicine. However, there has been no attempt to predict walking ability after spinal cord injury (SCI) based on ML. In ...
