Deep Learning-based Thigh Muscle Investigation Using MRI For Prosthetic Development for Patients Undergoing Total Knee Replacement (TKR).

Background: A prosthetic device is designed based on the quantitative analysis of muscle MRI which will improve the muscle control achieved with functional electrical stimulation/ guided robotic exoskeletons. Electromyography (EMG) provides muscle functionality information while MRI provides the physiological and functionality of muscles. The sensor feedbacks were used for the bionic prosthesis, but the length of muscle using image processing was not correlated.
