Evaluating and tracking patients' functional status through the post-acute care continuum requires a common instrument. However, different post-acute service providers such as nursing homes, inpatient rehabilitation facilities and home…
Perinatal stroke (PS) is a serious condition that, if undetected and thus untreated, often leads to life-long disability, in particular Cerebral Palsy (CP). In clinical settings, Prechtl's General Movement Assessment (GMA) can be used to…
Interpreting large volumes of high-dimensional, unlabeled data in a manner that is comprehensible to humans remains a significant challenge across various domains. In unsupervised healthcare data analysis, interpreting clustered data can…
In many applications, monitoring area under the ROC curve (AUC) in a sliding window over a data stream is a natural way of detecting changes in the system. The drawback is that computing AUC in a sliding window is expensive, especially if…
-This article presents clinical results from the use of MONIMAD, a reactive robotized interface for lower limb Rehabilitation of patients suffering from cerebellar disease. The first problem to be addressed is the postural analysis of…
Postprandial hyperglycemia, marked by the blood glucose level exceeding the normal range after consuming a meal, is a critical indicator of progression toward type 2 diabetes in people with prediabetes and in healthy individuals. A key…
Partial-assistance exoskeletons hold significant potential for gait rehabilitation by promoting active participation during (re)learning of normative walking patterns. Typically, the control of interaction torques in partial-assistance…
A common challenge in Bicep Curls rehabilitation is muscle compensation, where patients adopt alternative movement patterns when the primary muscle group cannot act due to injury or fatigue, significantly decreasing the effectiveness of…
Objective: To determine whether brain volume is associated with functional outcome after acute ischemic stroke (AIS). Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional data of the multi-site, international hospital-based MRI-GENetics Interface…
Motor Imagery (MI) is gaining traction in both rehabilitation and sports settings, but its immediate influence on human postural control is not yet clearly understood. The focus of this study is to examine the effects of MI on the dynamics…
Several upper-limb exoskeleton robots have been developed for stroke rehabilitation, but their rather low level of individualized assistance typically limits their effectiveness and practicability. Individualized assistance involves an…
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a neurosurgical procedure successfully used to treat conditions such as Parkinson's disease. Electrostimulation, carried out by implanting electrodes into an identified focus in the brain, makes it possible…
Purpose: To construct a neural network model that can learn the different diagnosing strategies of radiologists to better classify aneurysm status in magnetic resonance angiography images. Materials and methods: This retrospective study…
Activity classification was performed using MEMS accelerometer and wireless sensor node for wireless sensor network environment. Three axes MEMS accelerometer measures body's acceleration and transmits measured data with the help of sensor…
This work presents, the classification of user activities such as Rest, Walk and Run, on the basis of frequency component present in the acceleration data in a wireless sensor network environment. As the frequencies of the above mentioned…
Accelerometer data is commonplace in physical activity research, exercise science, and public health studies, where the goal is to understand and compare physical activity differences between groups and/or subject populations, and to…
Clinical assessments for neuromuscular disorders, such as Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), continue to rely on subjective measures to monitor treatment response and disease progression. We introduce a…
Robot-assisted therapy can deliver high-dose, task-specific training after neurologic injury, but most systems act primarily at the limb level-engaging the impaired neural circuits only indirectly-which remains a key barrier to truly…
Assessment of muscle coordination during cycling may provide insight into motor control strategies and movement efficiency. This study evaluated muscle synergies and coactivation patterns as indicators of neuromuscular coordination in…
Timely and reliable detection of falls is a large and rapidly growing field of research due to the medical and financial demand of caring for a constantly growing elderly population. Within the past 2 decades, the availability of…
