Background Adults with sedentary lifestyles seem to face a higher risk of falling in their later years. Several causes, such as impairment of strength, coordination, and cognitive function, influence worsening health conditions, including balancing ability. Many modalities can be applied to improve the balance function and prevent falling. Several studies have also recorded the effects of balance...
Postural stability is a necessary activity for human livings. To understand this behavioral function can perform by using instruments or clinical assessments. Motion analysis is a famous method to analyze the motion pattern in healthy people or patients with dysfunctional movement which provide information in 3-dimension. To analyze the information can acquire from various methods and must compute...
Neurological patients, such a stroke or spinal cord injury, require the rehabilitation treatment in order to return back to the daily livings. To retain the musculature quantity and quality, the passive exercise can be an option which can be done by either the physical therapist or the robot assisted. LeHab robot is designed with three degree of freedoms. The robot consists of three links and three...
At present, patients whose have suffered from stroke in Thailand are increasing every year. Stroke impairments relate to many functions such as sensory, motor function, communication, visual and emotional function which depend on brain's lesion. Physical examinations and assessments are important for planning the rehabilitation programs. For this reason, there are several information for medical decision...
Human postural stability is the necessary function for human livings. This function controls the whole body into the upright position. To understand the behavior of human balance control can be achieved by many methods. The mathematical model is a general technique for explanation the mechanism of biomechanics. The human postural stability system has been designed into the mathematical model. The...
Virtual reality technology is common used to entertain people as movies or games. At present, this technology applies to medical field for training surgeon on operating simulation or patients with either neurological disease or psychiatric disorder. The study focused on the algorithm of pattern classification. The artificial neural network was considered to achieve this classification. The multilayer...
Walking up or down stairs is an important activity for human lives. Gait pattern of this activity is as same as walking except the range of motion and phase of muscles activities. Many studies have been focused on behavior of this motion. Two cameras and electromyogram (EMG) are the applications used in this study and analysis the motion. To determine the relationship of the both data, it can be performed...
Rehabilitation for neurological patients as stroke or spinal cord injury is important for improving the quality of their lives. Furthermore, sustaining the properties of muscular tissue is necessary to prepare the other therapeutics. Passive exercise is a technique to maintain the tissue and prevent complication as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Since, these patients cannot move their legs by themselves...
This paper studies the application of the adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS). We propose the ANFIS used for region of interest (ROI) detection in brain fMRI images. The ROI is used for estimating the tissue activity by Blood-Oxygen Level Dependent technique (BOLD). The result shows the ANFIS model can be used to fit the image time-intensity data. A 3 Gaussian membership functions were proposed...
Human motion is an important function which is related to the movement in upper or lower limb. Patients who have injured or damaged of brain will be lost the movement controlling function. The proposed exoskeleton arm has five degrees-of-freedom. Three degrees-of-freedom are at the shoulder joint, i.e. flexion/extension, abduction/adduction and internal/external rotation. The elbow joint has two degrees-of-freedom...
