OpenExo: An open-source modular exoskeleton to augment human function.

Science robotics
Although the field of wearable robotic exoskeletons is rapidly expanding, there are several barriers to entry that discourage many from pursuing research in this area, ultimately hindering growth. Chief among these is the lengthy and costly developme...

AI-based human whole-body posture-prediction in continuous load reaching/leaving activities.

Journal of biomechanics
Determining worker's body posture during load handling activities is the first step toward assessing and managing occupational risk of musculoskeletal injuries. Traditional approaches for the measurement of body posture are impractical in real work s...

Effectiveness of an intelligent weight-bearing rehabilitation robot in enhancing recovery following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Frontiers in public health
AIM: Orthopedic surgery patients frequently delay early rehabilitation due to postoperative discomfort. This is especially true for younger patients with anterior cruciate ligament injuries who are eager to return to sports after discharge. Despite t...

A Workflow-Efficient Approach to Pre- and Post-Operative Assessment of Weight-Bearing Three-Dimensional Knee Kinematics.

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Knee kinematics during daily activities reflect disease severity preoperatively and are associated with clinical outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). It is widely believed that measured kinematics would be useful for preoperative...

Advanced Three-Dimensional Assessment and Planning for Hallux Valgus.

Foot and ankle clinics
The article discusses advanced three-dimensional evaluation of hallux valgus deformity using weightbearing computed tomography. Conventional two-dimensional radiographs fall short in assessing the complexity of hallux valgus deformities, whereas weig...

Classification algorithms trained on simple (symmetric) lifting data perform poorly in predicting hand loads during complex (free-dynamic) lifting tasks.

Applied ergonomics
The performance of machine learning (ML) algorithms is dependent on which dataset it has been trained on. While ML algorithms are increasingly used for lift risk assessment, many algorithms are often trained and tested on controlled simulation datase...

Task-agnostic exoskeleton control via biological joint moment estimation.

Nature
Lower-limb exoskeletons have the potential to transform the way we move, but current state-of-the-art controllers cannot accommodate the rich set of possible human behaviours that range from cyclic and predictable to transitory and unstructured. We i...

Deep learning-based automated angle measurement for flatfoot diagnosis in weight-bearing lateral radiographs.

Scientific reports
This study aimed to develop and evaluate a deep learning-based system for the automatic measurement of angles (specifically, Meary's angle and calcaneal pitch) in weight-bearing lateral radiographs of the foot for flatfoot diagnosis. We utilized 3960...

Automated weight-bearing foot measurements using an artificial intelligence-based software.

Skeletal radiology
OBJECTIVE: To assess the accuracy of an artificial intelligence (AI) software (BoneMetrics, Gleamer) in performing automated measurements on weight-bearing forefoot and lateral foot radiographs.

Predicting Musculoskeletal Loading at Common Running Injury Locations Using Machine Learning and Instrumented Insoles.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise
INTRODUCTION: Wearables have the potential to provide accurate estimates of tissue loads at common running injury locations. Here we investigate the accuracy by which commercially available instrumented insoles (ARION; ATO-GEAR, Eindhoven, The Nether...
