However, existing GNN-based methods in this area normally model the VGRF signals as static topological structures, and ignore the dynamic variations of the VGRF graph structures during walking. To address this issue, a Global-Local Dynamic Directed Graph Neural Network (GL<inline-formula> <tex-math>$text {D}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-GNN) is proposed to represent the dynamic spatio-temporal features of VGRF signals. The core component of the proposed model is the DyDGNN block, which is composed of a Dynamic Graph Learning (DGL) unit, a Dynamic Directed Graph Network (DyDGN) unit, and a Temporal Convolutional Network (TCN) unit. First, the DGL unit is proposed to learn dynamic topological relationships of VGRF signals. Based on learned graph structures, the DyDGN unit is constructed to extract the spatial patterns and capture topological dynamic features from VGRF signals. Subsequently, local temporal patterns of VGRF signals are extracted by the TCN unit. The proposed method is evaluated through k-fold cross-validation and cross-dataset validation on three datasets Ga, Ju and Si. Compared with existing methods, such as RFdGAD, Transformer, and AST-DGNN, GL<inline-formula> <tex-math>$text {D}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-GNN demonstrates superior performance in the validation experiments. Notably, our method achieves an average improvement of 4.45% in accuracy, 2.93% in F1 score, and 2.88% in geometric mean across cross-dataset validation. Extensive experiments have demonstrated that GL<inline-formula> <tex-math>$text {D}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>-GNN exhibits both the representational ability for complex gait patterns and the generalization ability across various datasets by capturing dynamics of VGRF topological structures and spatio-temporal features from VGRF signals. For future work, we plan to combine our method with multi-modal methods and integrate our framework into a complete gait analysis system.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3947-3957"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11180065","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145148886","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}

Each participant underwent at least 10 minutes of resting-state EEG recording. Microstate analysis and functional connectivity were performed using MATLAB’s EEGLAB toolbox, while standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA) was employed for microstate source reconstruction.

Microstate A demonstrated decreased activity in the anterior cingulate and lingual gyri. Functional connectivity analysis revealed enhanced slow-wave connectivity and diminished fast-wave connectivity in the frontal-parietal lobes. Correlation analyses showed that microstate A positively correlated with inflammatory indices such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic inflammation index (SII), and systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI). In contrast, microstate D correlated with the derived neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (dNLR). Microstates B and C inversely correlated with NLR and SII. Furthermore, the duration and coverage of microstate A, along with the transition probability from A to D, inversely correlated with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores.

However, previous studies have primarily focused on quantitative comparisons of propulsion patterns among individuals with different injury levels without considering other factors. This study aims to explore distinct wheelchair propulsion strategies among individuals with spinal cord injury using a bottom-up approach based on kinematic patterns, and to investigate how these strategies relate to injury level, physical activity (PA) level, and coordination. Twenty-eight wheelchair users performed propulsion as fast as possible on an ergometer. Joint kinematics were analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA) to cluster participants. Muscle synergy analysis was performed using non-negative matrix factorization of electromyography data from six upper limb muscles. Three distinct clusters were identified, with differences primarily in PA levels (p = 0.02) and wheelchair use experience (p = 0.04) rather than injury level. Cluster 1 (n = 4), characterized by longer wheelchair use experience and higher PA levels, demonstrated higher hand velocity (p = 0.01) and longer push phase percentage (p < 0.01), with distinct joint coordination patterns consistent with relatively efficient propulsion strategies. Clusters 3 (n = 12) with less physical activity levels showed conservative propulsion patterns, and exhibited significantly lower hand velocity. Muscle synergy analysis revealed differences in neuromuscular control, particularly in the timing and coordination during push phase. Our findings suggest that wheelchair propulsion strategies are influenced more by experience and PA level than by the injury level alone. This highlights the importance of promoting PA and systematic propulsion training in rehabilitation programs to enhance wheelchair users’ mobility and independence.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3878-3887"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11177588","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145137279","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}

Multi-channel FES enables alternating stimulation of multiple muscle groups, effectively delaying muscle fatigue and facilitating precise control of complex upper limb movements. However, high-dimensional control of multiple muscles introduces additional challenges, particularly in coordinating antagonistic muscles and achieving efficient control. This study proposes a novel FES control framework that integrates muscle synergy theory, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks, and Iterative Learning Control (ILC). In this framework, the LSTM network predicts synergy activation coefficients from joint kinematics (angle and angular velocity), while the ILC algorithm iteratively updates electrical stimulation intensities based on the tracking error from previous iterations. This combination reduces the dimensionality of muscle control and improves the balance of muscle group activation, aligning better with natural motor control strategies. Experiments conducted on eight healthy subjects demonstrated that the proposed synergy-based ILC method significantly reduced joint angle tracking errors (measured by RMSE) over 10 stimulation iterations, compared to reference trajectories derived from voluntary motion. Specifically, in the combined elbow-wrist drinking task, the wrist RMSE decreased from 13.10° to 4.19°, and the elbow RMSE decreased from 45.07° to 5.53°. The coefficient of determination (<inline-formula> <tex-math>${R}^{{2}}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>), reflecting the goodness of fit between predicted and reference trajectories, exceeded 0.96, indicating high tracking accuracy and stability.

Clinically, the Movement Disorder Society Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (MDS-UPDRS) is widely recognized as the standard to evaluate gait impairment in PD. Recent skeleton-based methods have sought to estimate MDS-UPDRS gait scores, but most approaches treat score prediction as a coarse classification task, limiting their ability to capture subtle, progressive gait changes over time. These methods also often neglect clinical prior knowledge and fail to model localized gait features, leading to unsatisfactory performance. In addition, a continuous scale evaluation of gait impairment could result in a better formulation and adjustment of the treatment plan. In this paper, we introduce a novel framework for providing continuous-scale gait impairment estimation from the discrete annotation of MDS-UPDRS using skeleton data. First, we convert non-Euclidean skeleton information into two Euclidean spatiotemporal feature maps, ensuring a rigid spatial-temporal structure around the central joint. Next, we employ an omni-dimensional attention convolutional network to extract local spatiotemporal gait features within these normalized feature maps. We then integrate the features from both maps using an adaptive channel feature fusion module, capturing comprehensive gait information. Finally, we propose a numerical score prediction strategy that leverages MDS-UPDRS scores as anchors to predict gait impairment on a continuous scale without requiring continuous-scale annotations from clinicians. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is validated using a substantial clinical PD gait skeleton dataset.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3845-3855"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11177571","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145137328","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}

Therefore, it is necessary to establish an analytical framework that covers the entire dynamic process to decode inter-muscular interaction information completely. By extracting the time-domain characteristic values of EMG, a complex network model is established to analyze the EMG dynamics of lower limb from the nodes and edges of network. On the one hand, the nodes are community-detected with the goal of maximum modularity, and the EMG network is hard-divided into several discrete communities. On the other hand, the edges are matrix-decomposed to obtain different subgraphs over time. The surface EMG of 18 subjects were collected during passive and active training with rehabilitation robot. The experimental results show that the muscle synergy is most substantial during the flexion and extension phases of lower limb movement, with muscle groups mainly composed of the rectus femoris, lateral thigh muscles, and calf gastrocnemius. From the results of subgraph decomposition, it can be concluded that the synergistic effects between different regions of the legs are similar, and the synergistic ability between thigh muscles is significantly higher than that of calf muscles. The dynamic network modeling framework provides a new idea for muscle synergy analysis, which can not only analyze the community clustering of muscle groups from a macro perspective, but also quantify the degree of synergy between muscle regions.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3910-3921"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11176879","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145130813","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}

Current clinical assessments of CST integrity face significant limitations, including high costs, specialized equipment, and inability to guide state-dependent closed-loop rehabilitation therapies. Corticomuscular coherence (CMC), which measures the functional coupling between sensorimotor cortical rhythms and muscular activity, represents a potentially accessible, and clinically feasible alternative for evaluating CST damage in stroke patients. However, it remains unclear whether CMC is a reliable biomarker of CST integrity and poststroke motor recovery. To address this issue, we measured electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG) and motor-evoked potential (MEP) status from subacute patients during grip and finger extension tasks performed with both affected and unaffected hands. Using a multivariate analysis approach, we identified abnormal modulations of CMC and event-related desynchronization (ERD), characterized by frequency-specific disruptions and distinctive spatial distributions. Crucially, our results also demonstrated that CMC reflects neurophysiological mechanisms distinct from cortical activation. Further analysis revealed significant CMC differences between patient groups stratified by MEP status, and confirmed the predictive value of CMC features for assessing functional CST integrity. Additionally, there existed significant associations between beta-band CMC and clinical motor assessments. These findings highlight the potential utility of CMC as a valuable tool for assessing functional CST integrity and motor recovery after stroke.","PeriodicalId":13419,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering","volume":"33 ","pages":"3856-3865"},"PeriodicalIF":5.2,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=11176878","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145130790","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}
