• Abstract: Understanding the relationship between muscle activation and thickness deformation is critical for diagnosing muscle-related diseases and monitoring muscle health. Although ultrasound technique can measure muscle thickness change during muscle movement, its application in portable devices is limited by wiring and data collection challenges. Surface electromyography (sEMG), on the other hand, records muscle bioelectrical signals as the muscle activation. This paper introduced a deep-learning approach to leverage sEMG signals for muscle thickness deformation prediction, eliminating the need for ultrasound measurement. Using a dual-attention framework combining self-attention and cross-attention mechanisms, this method predicted muscle deformation directly from sEMG data. Experimental results with six healthy subjects showed that the approach could accurately predict muscle excursion with an average precision of 0.923$\pm$0.900mm, which shows that this method can facilitate real-time portable muscle health monitoring, showing potential for applications in clinical diagnostics, sports science, and rehabilitation.

  This paper presents a physics-informed deep learning method to predict muscle forces without any label information during model training. In addition, the proposed method could also identify personalized muscle-tendon parameters. The predicted results of muscle forces show comparable or even lower root mean square error (RMSE) and higher coefficient of determination compared with baseline methods.

  We propose a weakly-supervised deep learning framework that preserves the rigidity and the volume of each vertebra while maximizing the accuracy of the registration. We specifically design these losses to depend only on the CT label maps since automatic vertebra segmentation in CT gives more accurate results contrary to MRI. Our results show that adding the anatomy-aware losses increases the plausibility of the inferred transformation while keeping the accuracy untouched.
