The objectives of this study were to improve aquatic rehabilitation through the utilization of LSTM model based activity classification by (1) identifying distinct combination of time and frequency domain features of sEMG using correlation analysis, ...
BACKGROUND: Upper limb dysfunction is one of the most common sequelae of stroke and robotic therapy is considered one of the promising methods for upper limb rehabilitation.
OBJECTIVE: The Fugl-Meyer assessment for upper extremity (FMA-UE) is a measure for assessing upper extremity motor function in patients with stroke. However, the considerable administration time of the assessment decreases its feasibility. This study...
BACKGROUND: The accuracy of decoding fine motor imagery (MI) tasks remains relatively low due to the dense distribution of active areas in the cerebral cortex.
