Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in clinical practice for musculoskeletal imaging tasks, such as disease diagnosis and image reconstruction. AI applications in musculoskeletal imaging have focused primarily on radiography, CT, and MR...
Notable efforts have been devoted to the development of biomechanical models of the spine, so the development of a motion system to control the spine becomes expressively relevant. This paper presents a fuzzy controller to manipulate the movement of ...
PURPOSE: With the slice thickness routinely used in elbow MRI, small or subtle lesions may be overlooked or misinterpreted as insignificant. To compare 1 mm slice thickness MRI (1 mm MRI) with deep learning reconstruction (DLR) to 3 mm slice thicknes...
This article presents a study on the neurobiological control of voluntary movements for anthropomorphic robotic systems. A corticospinal neural network model has been developed to control joint trajectories in multi-fingered robotic hands. The propos...

A U-Net machine learning algorithm was adapted to automatically segment tendon collagen fibril cross-sections from serial block face scanning electron microscopy (SBF-SEM) and create three-dimensional (3D) renderings. We compared the performance of r...
In this paper, the innovative design of a robotic hand with soft jointed structure is carried out and a tendon-driven mechanism, a master-slave motor coordinated drive mechanism, a thumb coupling transmission mechanism and a thumb steering mechanism ...
Usability and functionality are important when designing hand-wearable robots; however, satisfying both indicators remains a challenging issue, even though researchers have made important progress with state-of-the-art robot components. Although hand...
Image-based deformation estimation is an important tool used in a variety of engineering problems, including crack propagation, fracture, and fatigue failure. These tools have been important in biomechanics research where measuring in vitro and in vi...
The myotendinous junction (MTJ) facilitates force transmission between muscle and tendon to produce joint movement. The complex microarchitecture and regional mechanical heterogeneity of the myotendinous junction pose major challenges in creating thi...
