In proton therapy, robotic couch was used for patient positioning to achieve high precision in cancer treatment. However, no studies have focused on the real-time motion management system (MMS) couch. This study develop MMS and verify its feasibility. A set up with a couch, an NDI Vega optical tracking system, Special Measurement Tool (SMT) developed software. Leica laser tracker adopted accura...

Background: One of the most important issues for patients with osteoarthritis is reducing pain and returning them to normal life. In addition to losing weight and improving daily activities, pain management treatments may be needed. One of these treatments is the injection of hyaluronic acid gel into the knee joint, which has been studied in this study. Methods: In this stud...

The management of motion loss of the knee is challenging. A clear understanding of the pathoanatomic causes of motion loss is necessary to establish a careful and rational approach to treatment. Early recognition and physical therapy are effective for the majority of patients, but when these conservative measures fail, operative intervention is indicated. The purpose of this article is to outli...

The overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC) scheme provides an effective way to reduce blocking artifacts in video coding. However, in comparison with the traditional block motion compensation (BMC), its complexity of motion estimation increases significantly due to the interdependency of motion vectors. In this work, a new fast motion estimation algorithm is proposed for OBMC based on the ...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this work was to examine human response to motion-level robot adaptation to determine its effect on team fluency, human satisfaction, and perceived safety and comfort. BACKGROUND The evaluation of human response to adaptive robotic assistants has been limited, particularly in the realm of motion-level adaptation. The lack of true human-in-the-loop evaluation has mad...
