Stimulation-Induced Muscle Deformation Measured with A-Mode Ultrasound Correlates with Muscle Fatigue

Stimulation-Induced Muscle Deformation Measured with A-Mode Ultrasound Correlates with Muscle Fatigue 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Muscle fatigue is a common physiological phenomenon whose onset can impair physical performance and increase the risk of injury. Traditional assessments of muscle fatigue are primarily constrained by their dependence… read more

Wearable-Enabled Algorithms for the Estimation of Parkinson’s Symptoms Evaluated in a Continuous Home Monitoring Setting Using Inertial Sensors

Wearable-Enabled Algorithms for the Estimation of Parkinson’s Symptoms Evaluated in a Continuous Home Monitoring Setting Using Inertial Sensors 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Motor symptoms such as tremor and bradykinesia can develop concurrently in Parkinson’s disease; thus, the ideal home monitoring system should be capable of tracking symptoms continuously despite background noise from… read more

Recurrent Neural Network Enabled Continuous Motion Estimation of Lower Limb Joints From Incomplete sEMG Signals

Recurrent Neural Network Enabled Continuous Motion Estimation of Lower Limb Joints From Incomplete sEMG Signals 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Decoding continuous human motion from surface electromyography (sEMG) in advance is crucial for improving the intelligence of exoskeleton robots. However, incomplete sEMG signals are prevalent on account of unstable data… read more
