Data-Driven Adaptive Exoskeleton Assistance for Post-Stroke Gait

A new ankle exoskeleton uses a Temporal Convolutional Network to predict assistance torque, achieving an average R² of 0.74 ± 0.13 across four post‑stroke participants. Read more: getnews.me/data-driven-adaptive-exo... #exoskeleton #poststroke #ai

Exploring Remote Monitoring of Poststroke Mood With Digital Sensors by Assessment of Depression Phenotypes and Accelerometer Data in UK Biobank: Cross-Sectional Analysis Background: Interest in using digital sensors to monitor post-stroke patients (PSPs) for depression, a risk factor for poor outcomes, has grown rapidly; however, little is known about behavioral phenotypes related to future mood and if patients with and without previously diagnosed depression experience similar phenotypes. Objective: To assess the feasibility of using digital sensors to monitor mood in PSPs with a pre-stroke depression diagnosis (DDs) and controls, we examined relationships between physical activity (PA) behaviors and self-reported depression frequency. Methods: In the UK Biobank wearable accelerometer cohort, we retrospectively identified patients who had previously suffered a stroke (n = 1,603) and conducted cross-sectional analyses with those who completed a subsequent depression survey follow-up. Sensitivity analyses assessed a general population cohort excluding prior stroke participants and two incident cohorts: incident stroke (IS) and incident CeVD (IC). Results: In controls, the odds of being in a higher depressed mood frequency category decreased by 23.0% for each minute spent in moderate‐to‐vigorous PA (MVPA) (OR = 0.770; 95% CI = 0.686-0.865; p < 0.001). This association persisted in both general cohorts and in the IC control cohort. Conclusions: Although MVPA was linked with less frequent depressed mood in PSPs without DDs, this finding did not persist in DDs. Thus, accelerometer-mood monitoring may provide clinically useful insights about future mood in PSPs without DDs. Considering the finding in the IC cohort and the lack of findings in IS cohorts, accelerometer-mood monitoring may also be appropriately applied to observing broader CeVD pathogenesis.
