Accurate Real-Time Joint Torque Estimation for Dynamic Prediction of Human Locomotion
Inverse dynamics is a common tool for determining human joint torques during walking. The traditional approaches rely on ground reaction force and kinematics measurements prior to analysis. A novel real-time hybrid method is proposed in this work by integrating a neural network and dynamic model that only requires kinematic data. An end-to-end neural network for direct joint torque estimation is also developed based on kinematic data. The neural networks are trained on a variety of walking conditions, including starting and stopping, sudden speed changes, and asymmetrical walking. The hybrid model is first tested in a deta...

Miniaturized Stacked Transducer for Intravascular Sonothrombolysis With Internal-Illumination Photoacoustic Imaging Guidance and Clot Characterization
Thromboembolism in blood vessels can lead to stroke or heart attack and even sudden death unless brought under control. Sonothrombolysis enhanced by ultrasound contrast agents has shown promising outcome on effective treatment of thromboembolism. Intravascular sonothrombolysis was also reported recently with a potential for effective and safe treatment of deep thrombosis. Despite the promising treatment results, the treatment efficiency for clinical application may not be optimized due to the lack of imaging guidance and clot characterization during the thrombolysis procedure. In this paper, a miniaturized transducer was d...

Mid-Activity and At-Home Wearable Bioimpedance Elucidates an Interpretable Digital Biomarker of Muscle Fatigue
Objective: Muscle health and decreased muscle performance (fatigue) quantification has proven to be an invaluable tool for both athletic performance assessment and injury prevention. However, existing methods estimating muscle fatigue are infeasible for everyday use. Wearable technologies are feasible for everyday use and can enable discovery of digital biomarkers of muscle fatigue. Unfortunately, the current state-of-the-art wearable systems for muscle fatigue tracking suffer from either low specificity or poor usability. Methods: We propose using dual-frequency bioimpedance analysis (DFBIA) to non-invasively assess intra...
