Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Recommendations for Artificial Intelligence in Musculoskeletal and Soft-Tissue Ultrasound: Expert Panel Narrative Review.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
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...

A Soft Hand Exoskeleton With a Novel Tendon Layout to Improve Stable Wearing in Grasping Assistance.

IEEE transactions on haptics
We present a novel soft exoskeleton providing active support for hand closing and opening. The main novelty is a different tendon routing, folded laterally on both sides of the hand, and adding clenching forces when the exoskeleton is activated. It i...

Tendon Stress Estimation from Strain Data of a Bridge Girder Using Machine Learning-Based Surrogate Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Prestressed girders reduce cracking and allow for long spans, but their construction requires complex equipment and strict quality control. Their accurate design depends on a precise knowledge of tensioning force and stresses, as well as monitoring t...

A Human-Centered Machine-Learning Approach for Muscle-Tendon Junction Tracking in Ultrasound Images.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Biomechanical and clinical gait research observes muscles and tendons in limbs to study their functions and behaviour. Therefore, movements of distinct anatomical landmarks, such as muscle-tendon junctions, are frequently measured. We propose a relia...

Analysis of tendon tension and hysteresis by tendon twisting and development of anti-twist tendon mechanism of robotic surgical instruments.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Control of the joints of robotic surgical instruments is difficult owing to hysteresis, and tendon twisting due to axial rotation of surgical tools also causes hysteresis. Therefore, a new mechanism is needed to prevent tendon twisting.

Design and analysis of a novel tendon-driven continuum robotic dolphin.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
In this paper, a novel continuum robotic dolphin termed 'ConRoDolI' is proposed and developed. The biomimetic robot features dual tendon driving continuum mechanisms that are utilized to replicate the twisting and bending motions of the dolphin's cau...

Classifying muscle parameters with artificial neural networks and simulated lateral pinch data.

PloS one
OBJECTIVE: Hill-type muscle models are widely employed in simulations of human movement. Yet, the parameters underlying these models are difficult or impossible to measure in vivo. Prior studies demonstrate that Hill-type muscle parameters are encode...

Bioinspired Soft Robotic Fingers with Sequential Motion Based on Tendon-Driven Mechanisms.

Soft robotics
The conformability is yet a challenge for most soft robotic grippers due to the continuous motion and deformation of these machines under external force. Herein, inspired by the movement mechanism of human fingers, we propose a novel tendon-driven so...

Multimode Grasping Soft Gripper Achieved by Layer Jamming Structure and Tendon-Driven Mechanism.

Soft robotics
Robotic grasping has become increasingly important in many application areas such as industrial manufacturing and logistics. Because of the diversity and uncertainty of objects and environments, common grippers with one single grasping mode face diff...

A Single-Shot Region-Adaptive Network for Myotendinous Junction Segmentation in Muscular Ultrasound Images.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Tracking the myotendinous junction (MTJ) in consecutive ultrasound images is crucial for understanding the mechanics and pathological conditions of the muscle-tendon unit. However, the lack of reliable and efficient identification of MTJ due to poor ...
