There has been a rising need for developing a rehabilitation device for patients with leprosy, as most of the present day approach is towards the eradication of the disease. To assist and monitor the extent of damage of a nerve and muscle cells, a new fabric embedded tactile sensor incorporated in gloves and other smart fabrics are used. By incorporating tactile sensing in the gloves, and recording...
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a signal designed to work as result of contraction of the heart muscle that make up the electrical biopotentials, using body surface electrodes obtained by obtaining are marked. The result of the heart losing healty working conditions,disturbances on freguency and amplitude of ECG signals recorded by electrocardiograph according to the healty ECG signal, occurs. The study...
Degenerative chronic spinal cord compression induced cervical myelopathy is a common cause of spinal cord dysfunction. The disease generally leads to impairment of the sensory and motor function of the cord progressively and insidiously. However, the underlying pathophysiology and the precise mechanism of the disease are still uncertain and remain to be investigated. The establishment of an animal...
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common, painful condition. Treatment is indicated when the symptoms of the disease interferes with the usual daily activities. The use of orthoses is advocated in the treatment of mild and moderate CTS. The rationale for using neutral wrist orthoses lies on the relation of the disease with the increased intracarpal pressure. It was demonstrated that the intracarpal...
In the field of rehabilitation, physical therapist plays an important role to resume the social life from disease and physical handicap. However, they can obtain their skills only from their practical experiences. The trainee of the physical therapist can earn the experience only from the clinical practical training, and the opportunity is limited. Therefore, we have been developing the upper limb...
Myocardial elastography (ME), a radio frequency (RF)-based speckle tracking technique with one-dimensional (1-D) cross correlation and novel recorrelation methods in a 2-D search was proposed to estimate and fully image 2-1) transmural deformation field and to detect abnormal cardiac function. A theoretical framework was first developed in order to evaluate the performance of 2-D myocardial elastography...
This paper presents the development of a decision aid tool based on a fuzzy classifier. The goal was to obtain a system that could support a physician who have to make decisions about how to deal with the progression of the disease of a child affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. First, we used an outranking multicriteria method to select among the possible parameters of muscle fatigue evaluation...
