Hidden Brain State-Based Internal Evaluation Using Kernel Inverse Reinforcement Learning in Brain-Machine Interfaces
Hidden Brain State-Based Internal Evaluation Using Kernel Inverse Reinforcement Learning in Brain-Machine Interfaces 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Reinforcement learning (RL)-based brain machine interfaces (BMIs) assist paralyzed people in controlling neural prostheses without the need for real limb movement as supervised signals. The design of reward signal significantly… read more
A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis

A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis
A Swing-Assist Controller for Enhancing Knee Flexion in a Semi-Powered Transfemoral Prosthesis 789 444 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
This work proposes a new swing controller for semi-powered low impedance transfemoral prostheses that resolves the issue of potentially competing inputs between artificial assistive power and user-sourced power. Rather than… read more

Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent
Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Although powered prosthetic legs have enabled more biomimetic joint kinematics during steady-state activities like walking and stair climbing, transitions between these activities are usually handled by discretely switching controllers without… read more

An Efficient Framework for Personalizing EMG-Driven Musculoskeletal Models Based on Reinforcement Learning
An Efficient Framework for Personalizing EMG-Driven Musculoskeletal Models Based on Reinforcement Learning 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
This study aimed to develop a novel framework to quickly personalize electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal models (MMs) as efferent neural interfaces for upper limb prostheses. Our framework adopts a generic upper-limb… read more

Lower-Limb Myoelectric Calibration Postures for Transtibial Prostheses
Lower-Limb Myoelectric Calibration Postures for Transtibial Prostheses 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The use of an agonist-antagonist muscle pair for myoelectric control of a transtibial prosthesis requires normalizing the myoelectric signals and identifying their co-contraction signature. Extensive literature has explored the relationship… read more

Characterization of a Benchmark Database for Myoelectric Movement Classification

Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking
Author(s)3: Karl E. Zelik, Steven H. Collins, Peter G. Adamczyk, Ava D. Segal, Glenn K. Klute, David C. Morgenroth, Michael E. Hahn, Michael S. Orendurff, Joseph M. Czerniecki, Arthur D. Kuo
Systematic Variation of Prosthetic Foot Spring Affects Center-of-Mass Mechanics and Metabolic Cost During Walking 1264 855 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Lower-limb amputees expend more energy to walk than non-amputees and have an elevated risk of secondary disabilities. Insufficient push-off by the prosthetic foot may be a contributing factor. We aimed…

Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses
Author(s)3: Ricardo Garcia-Rosas, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie, Ying Tan, Peter Choong
Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses 672 207 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Synergistic prostheses enable the coordinated movement of the human-prosthetic arm, as required by activities of daily living. This is achieved by coupling the motion of the prosthesis to the human command, such as the residual limb movement in motion-based interfaces. read more
