A Physics-Informed Low-Shot Learning For sEMG-Based Estimation of Muscle Force and Joint Kinematics [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Muscle force and joint kinematics estimation from surface electromyography (sEMG) are essential for real-time biomechanical analysis of the dynamic interplay among neural muscle stimulation, muscle dynamics, and kinetics. Recent advances in deep neural networks (DNNs) have shown the potential to improve biomechanical analysis in a fully automated and ...

The Association of Low Skeletal Muscle Mass with Complex Distal Radius Fracture
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022 Objectives: Sarcopenia is a skeletal muscle loss disease with adverse outcomes, including falls, mortality, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in older patients. Distal radius fractures (DRF), common in older people, are strongly related to falls. We aimed to investigate the correlation between DRF and low skeletal muscle mass, which strongly correlated ...

IFSS-Net: Interactive Few-Shot Siamese Network for Faster Muscle Segmentation and Propagation in Volumetric Ultrasound [PDF]
, 2020 We present an accurate, fast and efficient method for segmentation and muscle mask propagation in 3D freehand ultrasound data, towards accurate volume quantification. A deep Siamese 3D Encoder-Decoder network that captures the evolution of the muscle appearance and shape for contiguous slices is deployed.

Low skeletal muscle mass as an early sign in children with fabry disease
Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2023 Abstract Background & aims Fabry disease (FD) is a rare X-linked metabolic storage disorder due to the deficiency of lysosomal α-galactosidase A which causes the accumulation of glycosphingolipids throughout the body. Underweight and low BMI have been occasionally reported in FD patients previously.

Fully-automated deep learning slice-based muscle estimation from CT images for sarcopenia assessment [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Objective: To demonstrate the effectiveness of using a deep learning-based approach for a fully automated slice-based measurement of muscle mass for assessing sarcopenia on CT scans of the abdomen without any case exclusion criteria. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study was conducted using a collection of public and privately available CT ...

The MUSCLES Treasury Survey II: Intrinsic Lyman Alpha and Extreme Ultraviolet Spectra of K and M Dwarfs with Exoplanets [PDF]
, 2016 The ultraviolet (UV) spectral energy distributions of low-mass (K- and M-type) stars play a critical role in the heating and chemistry of exoplanet atmospheres, but are not observationally well-constrained. Direct observations of the intrinsic flux of the Lyman alpha line (the dominant source of UV photons from low-mass stars) are challenging, as ...

A Wearable Ultra-Low-Power sEMG-Triggered Ultrasound System for Long-Term Muscle Activity Monitoring [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Surface electromyography (sEMG) is a well-established approach to monitor muscular activity on wearable and resource-constrained devices. However, when measuring deeper muscles, its low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), high signal attenuation, and crosstalk degrade sensing performance.

Key principle of the efficient running, swimming, and flying [PDF]
, 2009 Empirical observations indicate striking similarities among locomotion in terrestrial animals, birds, and fish, but unifying physical grounds are lacking. When applied to efficient locomotion, the analytical mechanics principle of minimum action yields two patterns of mechanical similarity via two explicit spatiotemporal coherent states.

Qualitative muscle mass index as the prognostic value of low muscle functions in the elderly.
The FASEB Journal, 2015 Sarcopenia is the gradual decreases of skeletal muscle mass and functions during aging. In general, muscle mass index as a predictor of sarcopenia should be well reflected by those of functions. However, the most widely used relative index that merely adjusted with height squared (ASM/ht2) may be insufficient to diagnose sarcopenia because of ...

In the search of molecular signature of sarcopenia in C. elegans [PDF]
arXiv, 2012 Age-related muscle decline, a condition referred to as sarcopenia and defined as loss in muscle mass and muscle strength over time, is one of the most pervasive problems of the elderly, such that significant declines in strength and mobility affects essentially every old person We have found that ageing C.
