Application of Ultrasound Backscatter Technique in Quantitative Tendon Characterization Academic Background Tendinopathy is a common musculoskeletal disease characterized by alterations in the microstructure, composition, and cellular organization of tendons, leading to pain and decreased function. Tendinopathy is typically initiated by overuse and...

Analysis of Pelvis and Lower Limb Coordination in Stroke Patients Using Smartphone-Based Motion Capture Technology Academic Background Stroke is one of the diseases with the highest incidence, disability, and mortality rates worldwide, with up to 15 million new cases each year. Among them, 20%-30% of stroke patients develop hemiplegic gait, which i...

Passive Beamforming Metasurfaces for Microwave-Induced Thermoacoustic Imaging Academic Background Microwave-induced thermoacoustic imaging (MTAI) is an emerging medical imaging technology that combines the advantages of microwave and ultrasound imaging. It generates ultrasonic waves (i.e., thermoacoustic signals) by irradiating biological tissues w...

Two-Source Validation Study of Online Surface Electromyogram Decomposition Academic Background Surface electromyogram (SEMG) signals are crucial representations of muscle activity and are widely used in fields such as sports rehabilitation, robotic control, and human-machine interaction. However, SEMG signals are challenging to decompose due to the...

Application of Imitation Learning in Path Planning for Percutaneous Cardiac Interventions Academic Background Cardiac valve diseases, particularly mitral regurgitation (MR), are the third most common type of valvular heart disease globally and have a higher incidence in the elderly population. MR is characterized by the incomplete closure of the mi...

Sense of Presence in Virtual Reality: Exploration and Validation of Neurophysiological Markers Background Introduction In recent years, Virtual Reality (VR) technology has been widely applied in fields such as medicine, training, and rehabilitation. The core of VR lies in the user’s “sense of presence,” which refers to the immersive experience of “...

Academic Background In modern work environments, especially in industries involving repetitive lifting and bending tasks, low back injuries are a common and costly occupational health issue. Statistics show that low back injuries account for 35% of all occupational musculoskeletal injuries in the United States. Although ergonomic controls (such as ...

Application of Automation Technology in Embryo Trophectoderm Cell Biopsy Academic Background Embryo biopsy is a crucial step in assisted reproductive technology (In Vitro Fertilization, IVF), especially in Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT). Through embryo biopsy, doctors can extract a small number of cells from embryos for genetic analysis to a...

Accelerating Multi-Electrode Array Simulation with Sparse and Low-Rank Matrix Techniques Academic Background Multi-electrode arrays (MEAs) play a crucial role in the field of neural stimulation, particularly in neural prosthetics such as retinal prostheses. These devices restore vision or treat neurodegenerative diseases by electrically stimulating...
