However, such control — predicting continuous movements over independent degrees of freedom — remains confined to research settings. In contrast, pattern recognition systems are widely employed for their simple, user-friendly training procedures, though their limitation to a set of discrete whole-hand poses restricts functionality. To bridge this gap, we designed a direct neural controller and a training procedure to support adaptive retraining, enabling users to improve controller predictions or incorporate new movements using a single RGB camera. It explicitly models musculoskeletal dynamics and employs a neural network-based method for motor intent disambiguation, which we term “synergy inversion”. The defined dynamics constrain the predicted kinetics and kinematics to a physiologically realizable manifold, while synergy inversion can capture nonlinear patterns of muscle coactivation missing from traditional musculoskeletal models. In experiments with eight biologically intact participants and two individuals with unilateral transradial amputation, the proposed paradigm predicted trajectories for seven degrees of freedom and improved performance through online learning, achieving lower error than both purely neural and purely biophysical baseline models. This work represents a step toward the adoption of direct neural control of upper extremity prostheses in real-world settings, offering the flexibility of pattern recognition training within a more performant control framework.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3201-3211"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11124939","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144855131","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myoelectric orthoses, controlled by residual muscle activity from the paretic limb, can restore upper-limb function to patients. However, existing commercial myoelectric orthoses are limited to only a single hand motion with fixed force output. In the adjacent field of myoelectric prostheses, regression algorithms have enabled simultaneous and proportional position control over multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs), which in turn has improved user dexterity. Here, we explore, for the first time, the ability to regress the kinematic position of multiple DOFs in parallel from paretic muscle activity using a Kalman filter. We collected data from seven hemiparetic patients and systematically explored the root mean squared error (RMSE) of kinematic predictions for various degrees of freedom. We show that proportional position control is possible for multiple hand and wrist motions and that unidirectional DOFs perform better than bidirectional DOFs. Using previously reported RMSEs from healthy participants as a benchmark, we found that 86% of hemiparetic patients achieved functional 2-DOF control, 57% achieved functional 3-DOF control, and 29% achieved functional 4-DOF control. Performance was similar across patient characteristics and different combinations of DOFs. This work demonstrates that multi-DOF regression is readily achievable for some hemiparetic patients. Restoring wrist motion, in addition to grasping, could have a substantial impact on the dexterity and independence of hemiparetic patients. As such, this work serves as an important first step towards multi-DOF assistive upper-limb exoskeletons.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3246-3258"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11124928","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144855135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite convergent studies on cognitive aging, the differential alterations in brain network topology between the elderly and young individuals during vigilance decline remain unclear. Here, a prolonged 30-min psychomotor vigilance task (PVT) was employed to induce mental fatigue, where both behavioral performance and electroencephalography (EEG) data were collected from healthy elderly (n =30) and young participants (n =40). Subsequently, EEG functional connectivity was constructed and the differences in network topological properties between the two groups were quantitatively evaluated based on global and nodal metrics. Both groups an exhibited age-independent significant decline in behavioral performance with time on task. Moreover, age-related dysconnectivity pattern was revealed over a wide frequency range (<inline-formula> <tex-math>$1-45$ </tex-math></inline-formula> Hz) in the elderly group, which further developed toward less optimal network architecture. Specifically, significant deficits in nodal efficiency were revealed in most of the brain regions, and the frontal area exhibited significant age-by-time interaction effect, which was attributed to a significant decline in the elderly group. Statistically significant correlation between behavioral and network metrics was also found. Overall, our results provide some of the first quantitative insights for revealing the neural mechanisms of age differences during mental fatigue, which may contribute to the rational arrangement of personnel in real-world scenarios with high alertness demands.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3160-3170"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11123522","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144835002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes MSCAF-Gait, a Multi-Scale Cross-Attention Fusion Network designed specifically for abnormal gait recognition using foot pressure sensors. MSCAF-Gait incorporates multi-scale convolutional modules with channel and spatial attention mechanisms to effectively capture features across temporal, channel, and spatial dimensions. A novel cross-attention fusion module further enhances feature representation, enabling precise recognition of diverse abnormal gait patterns. To facilitate this research, we introduce the Pressure-Insole Abnormal Gait (PIAG) dataset, comprising gait data associated with common neurological and musculoskeletal abnormalities. Extensive experiments on the publicly available Gait in Parkinson’s Disease (GaitinPD) dataset and our self-constructed PIAG dataset validate the effectiveness of MSCAF-Gait. Specifically, the model achieves 99.61% accuracy in Parkinsonian gait recognition and 98.88% accuracy in Parkinson’s severity classification. On the PIAG dataset, which includes multiple abnormal gait patterns, MSCAF-Gait attains a high accuracy of 99.42%. Notably, these results are obtained with a lightweight architecture characterized by reduced FLOPs and parameter count, demonstrating that MSCAF-Gait offers both high accuracy and computational efficiency, making it well-suited for real-time deployment on wearable platforms.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3146-3159"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11122534","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144821372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ten able-bodied individuals were instructed to complete wrist isokinetic flexion and extension tasks with different movement patterns, and the HD-sEMG signals were collected.

Real-time estimation of knee loads could accelerate the development of load-reducing exoskeletons. However, measuring or estimating internal knee forces remains challenging due to the rarity of force-sensing knee implants and complexity of simulation-based methods. We developed two data-driven models to separately estimate the peaks in knee contact force during early and late stance using a limited set of features from electromyography (EMG), ground reaction force (GRF), and knee angle recordings. These models were trained on experimental data from healthy young adults (N = 6) walking with a wide range of knee-ankle exoskeleton torque assistance conditions. Peak knee contact forces were obtained from EMG-informed musculoskeletal simulations in OpenSim Moco. The data-driven models were evaluated using leave-one-subject-out cross validation on their ability to accurately compare exoskeleton assistance conditions. The data-driven models identified directional changes in peak knee contact force larger than 0.1 body weights (BW) with 90% accuracy for early-stance peak and 79% accuracy for late-stance peak. Both models included GRF and knee angle features, but EMG features reflected phase-specific muscle activity: quadriceps appeared in the early-stance model, plantar flexors in late stance, and hamstrings in both. We developed a simple method to rapidly estimate changes in peak knee contact force.

Wearable (egocentric) cameras provide a way to capture hand function information during activities of daily living (ADLs). However, while clinical assessments involve observing multiple functional tasks, existing deep learning methods developed to analyze hands in egocentric video are only capable of considering single ADLs. This study presents a novel multi-video architecture that processes multiple task videos to make improved estimations about hand impairment. Methods: An egocentric video dataset of ADLs performed by stroke survivors in a home simulation lab was used to develop single and multi-input video models for binary impairment classification. Using SlowFast as a base feature extractor, late fusion (majority voting, fully-connected network) and intermediate fusion (concatenation, Markov chain) were investigated for building multi-video architectures. Results: Through evaluation with Leave-One-Participant-Out-Cross-Validation, using intermediate concatenation fusion to build multi-video models was found to achieve the best performance out of the fusion techniques.

To address this problem, this study presents a model designed to classify wheelchair movement contexts, enabling the identification of what is happening in the user’s environment. To do this, data has been collected using a robust and non-intrusive combined monitoring system, which records both the wheelchair’s movement and the user’s posture. These data have been used to train classifier models capable of distinguishing between seven categories of environments that are common in the daily lives of wheelchair users: flat surface, ramp up, ramp down, right turn, left turn, obstacles, and abrupt braking. These models have been developed using machine learning techniques, such as K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM). The results show an accuracy of 90% in free-running tests and more than 99% in controlled runs.

The accurate detection of gait events is of paramount importance for characterizing and analyzing gait. While several algorithms have been proposed for gait timing estimation on flat terrains, an assessment of their performance on ecological-like terrains is still lacking. The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the performance of several gait event detection algorithms, as proposed in the literature, in the temporal segmentation of gait across different terrains. Methods: Nine healthy volunteers, each mounted with 17 tri-axial inertial sensors, walked on 12 different terrains with varying slopes. Gait events, identified from a marker-based optoelectronic system, were used as the reference. Nine different algorithms were applied to the data, and their performance was analyzed in terms of precision, recall, F1-score, and detection error. The performance scores of the different algorithms were compared across conditions. Results: In general, the results show a decline in performance when transitioning from flat to other terrains, which aligns with expectations as most algorithms are optimized for regular horizontal ground. However, one method (Paraschiv-Ionescu) showed superior performance, achieving near-perfect F1-scores (close to 1) across most conditions. Conclusion: This study compares IMU-based gait event detection algorithms on irregular terrains, revealing that performance degrades as terrain complexity increases. Additionally, this study showcases the ability of the standardized EUROBENCH benchmarking framework to test locomotion in real-like terrain conditions.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3181-3188"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11115090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144794332","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
