The increasing quality and affordability of consumer electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets make them attractive for situations where medical grade devices are impractical. Predicting and tracking cognitive states is possible for tasks that…
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic heart disease affecting approximately 1 in 500 people and is the leading cause of sudden cardiac death in young athletes. Current diagnostic methods -- cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR),…
Upper-limb amputees face tremendous difficulty in operating dexterous powered prostheses. Previous work has shown that aspects of prosthetic hand, wrist, or elbow control can be improved through "intelligent" control, by combining…
Electroencephalography (EEG) recordings are analyzed using battery-powered wearable devices to monitor brain activities and neurological disorders. These applications require long and continuous processing to generate feasible results.…
Magnetic navigation offers wireless control over magnetic objects, which has important medical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive surgery. Magnetic navigation systems are categorized into systems using…
Background: For an individualized support of patients during rehabilitation, learning of individual machine learning models from the human electroencephalogram (EEG) is required. Our approach allows labeled training data to be recorded…
This study investigates the impact of electrode shift and sensor reapplication on common surface electromyography (sEMG) features in lower limb muscles, factors which have, thus far, precluded clinicians from being able to attribute…
Most current hand exoskeletons have been designed specifically for rehabilitation, assistive or haptic applications to simplify the design requirements. Clinical studies on post-stroke rehabilitation have shown that adapting assistive or…
Wearable systems for the continuous and real-time monitoring of cardiovascular diseases are becoming widespread and valuable assets in diagnosis and therapy. A promising approach for real-time analysis of the electrocardiographic (ECG)…
Human impedance parameters play an integral role in the dynamics of strength amplification exoskeletons. Many methods are used to estimate the stiffness of human muscles, but few are used to improve the performance of strength amplification…
Current pain assessment within hospitals often relies on self-reporting or non-specific EKG vital signs. This system leaves critically ill, sedated, and cognitively impaired patients vulnerable to undertreated pain and opioid overuse.…
Myoelectric pattern recognition is one of the important aspects in the design of the control strategy for various applications including upper-limb prostheses and bio-robotic hand movement systems. The current work has proposed an approach…
This work presents the design and implementation of a wireless, wearable system that combines surface electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement units (IMUs) to analyze a single lower-limb functional task: the free bodyweight squat in…
Classification of electroencephalogram (EEG) and electrocorticogram (ECoG) signals obtained during motor imagery (MI) has substantial application potential, including for communication assistance and rehabilitation support for patients with…
The sit-to-stand movement is a key feature for wide adoption of powered lower limb orthoses for patients with complete paraplegia. In this paper we study the control of the ascending phase of the sit-to-stand movement for a minimally…
We introduce a novel wearable textile-garment featuring an innovative electrode placement aimed at minimizing noise and motion artifacts, thereby enhancing signal fidelity in Electrocardiography (ECG) recordings. We present a comprehensive,…
This work has been conducted in the context of pattern-recognition-based control for electromyographic prostheses. It presents a k-nearest neighbour (kNN) classification technique for gesture recognition, extended by a proportionality…
Many neuromuscular disorders impair function of cranial nerve enervated muscles. Clinical assessment of cranial muscle function has several limitations. Clinician rating of symptoms suffers from inter-rater variation, qualitative or…
The coupling of human movement dynamics with the function and design of wearable assistive devices is vital to better understand the interaction between the two. Advanced neuromuscular models and optimal control formulations provide the…
Brain computer interface based assistive technology are currently promoted for motor rehabilitation of the neuromuscular ailed individuals. Recent studies indicate a high potential of utilising electroencephalography (EEG) to extract motor…
