• Title: Enhancing Joint Motion Prediction for Individuals with Limb Loss Through Model Reprogramming
• Authors: Sharmita Dey, Sarath R. Nair
• Abstract summary: Mobility impairment caused by limb loss is a significant challenge faced by millions of individuals worldwide. The development of advanced assistive technologies, such as prosthetic devices, has the potential to greatly improve the quality of life for amputee patients. A critical component in the design of such technologies is the accurate prediction of reference joint motion for the missing limb.

• Abstract: Mobility impairment caused by limb loss is a significant challenge faced by millions of individuals worldwide. The development of advanced assistive technologies, such as prosthetic devices, has the potential to greatly improve the quality of life for amputee patients. A critical component in the design of such technologies is the accurate prediction of reference joint motion for the missing limb. However, this task is hindered by the scarcity of joint motion data available for amputee patients, in contrast to the substantial quantity of data from able-bodied subjects. To overcome this, we leverage deep learning's reprogramming property to repurpose well-trained models for a new goal without altering the model parameters. With only data-level manipulation, we adapt models originally designed for able-bodied people to forecast joint motion in amputees. The findings in this study have significant implications for advancing assistive tech and amputee mobility.

  The prevalence of mobility impairments due to conditions such as spinal cord injuries, strokes, and degenerative diseases is on the rise globally. Lower-limb exoskeletons have been increasingly recognized as a viable solution for enhancing mobility and rehabilitation for individuals with such impairments. Existing exoskeleton control systems often suffer from limitations such as latency, lack of adaptability, and computational inefficiency. This paper introduces a novel online adversarial learning architecture integrated with edge computing for high-level lower-limb exoskeleton control.
