Comparative Analysis of the Performance of Complex Texture Clustering Driven by Computational Intelligence Methods Using Multiple Clustering Models

Traditional texture cluster algorithms are frequently used in engineering; however, despite their widespread application, these algorithms continue to suffer from drawbacks including excessive complexity and limited universality. This study will focus primarily on the analysis of the performance of a number of different texture clustering algorithms. In addition, the performance of traditional texture classification algorithms will be compared in terms of image size, clustering number, running time, and accuracy. Finally, the performance boundaries of various algorithms will be determined in order to determine where future improvements to these algorithms should be concentrated. In the experiment, some traditional clustering algorithms are used as comparative tools for performance analysis. The qualitative and quantitative data both show that there is a significant difference in performance between the different algorithms. It is only possible to achieve better performance by selecting the appropriate algorithm based on the characteristics of the texture image.

Comparison and Analysis of Several Clustering Algorithms for Pavement Crack Segmentation Guided by Computational Intelligence

Cracks are one of the most common types of imperfections that can be found in concrete pavement, and they have a significant influence on the structural strength. The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance differences of various spatial clustering algorithms for pavement crack segmentation and to provide some reference for the work that is being done to maintain pavement currently. This is done by comparing and analyzing the performance of complex crack photos in different settings. For the purpose of evaluating how well the comparison method works, the indices of evaluation of NMI and RI have been selected. The experiment also includes a detailed analysis and comparison of the noisy photographs. According to the results of the experiments, the segmentation effect of these cluster algorithms is significantly worse after adding Gaussian noise; based on the NMI value, the mean-shift clustering algorithm has the best de-noise effect, whereas the performance of some clustering algorithms significantly decreases after adding noise.

Real-time echocardiography image analysis and quantification of cardiac indices

Deep learning has a huge potential to transform echocardiography in clinical practice and point of care ultrasound testing by providing real-time analysis of cardiac structure and function. Automated echocardiography analysis is benefited through use of machine learning for tasks such as image quality assessment, view classification, cardiac region segmentation, and quantification of diagnostic indices. By taking advantage of high-performing deep neural networks, we propose a novel and eicient real-time system for echocardiography analysis and quantification. Our system uses a self-supervised modality-specific representation trained using a publicly available large-scale dataset. The trained representation is used to enhance the learning of target echo tasks with relatively small datasets. We also present a novel Trilateral Attention Network (TaNet) for real-time cardiac region segmentation. The proposed network uses a module for region localization and three lightweight pathways for encoding rich low-level, textural, and high-level features. Feature embeddings from these individual pathways are then aggregated for cardiac region segmentation. This network is fine-tuned using a joint loss function and training strategy. We extensively evaluate the proposed system and its components, which are echo view retrieval, cardiac segmentation, and quantification, using four echocardiography datasets. Our experimental results show a consistent improvement in the performance of echocardiography analysis tasks with enhanced computational eiciency that charts a path toward its adoption in clinical practice. Specifically, our results show superior real-time performance in retrieving good quality echo from individual cardiac view, segmenting cardiac chambers with complex overlaps, and extracting cardiac indices that highly agree with the experts’ values. The source code of our implementation can be found in the project ‘ s GitHub page.

Comparative Study of Physical Education Teaching in Middle Schools at Home and Abroad Using Clustering Algorithm

Physical education in middle school is very important for teenagers, so it is also crucial to understand the differences between PET (Physical Education Teaching) systems in middle schools at home and abroad. The frontier and hotspot of PET research in middle schools at home and abroad are examined in this paper using citation analysis, information visualization, and cluster analysis, as well as CiteSpace software. The findings show that PET method research in China is qualitative, whereas PET method research in middle schools around the world is quantitative evaluation and empirical research. Domestic research hotspots focus on classroom instructional design, whereas foreign countries focus on load identification theory's application in instructional design. Frontier research in the United States is dispersed and covers a wide range of topics, whereas research in other countries focuses on cognitive load theory. The classification time of this improved algorithm is reduced by 190.97 seconds when compared to the traditional KNN algorithm, and the total time is increased by more than 50%. According to the findings, nonsports or nonsports influencing factors should be given more consideration in the study of adolescent physical fitness decline in China.

Discriminant Subspace Low-Rank Representation Algorithm for Electroencephalography-Based Alzheimer’s Disease Recognition

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic progressive neurodegenerative disease that often occurs in the elderly. Electroencephalography (EEG) signals have a strong correlation with neuropsychological test results and brain structural changes. It has become an effective aid in the early diagnosis of AD by exploiting abnormal brain activity. Because the original EEG has the characteristics of weak amplitude, strong background noise and randomness, the research on intelligent AD recognition based on machine learning is still in the exploratory stage. This paper proposes the discriminant subspace low-rank representation (DSLRR) algorithm for EEG-based AD and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) recognition. The subspace learning and low-rank representation are flexibly integrated into a feature representation model. On the one hand, based on the low-rank representation, the graph discriminant embedding is introduced to constrain the representation coefficients, so that the robust representation coefficients can preserve the local manifold structure of the EEG data. On the other hand, the least squares regression, principle component analysis, and global graph embedding are introduced into the subspace learning, to make the model more discriminative. The objective function of DSLRR is solved by the inexact augmented Lagrange multiplier method. The experimental results show that the DSLRR algorithm has good classification performance, which is helpful for in-depth research on AD and MCI recognition.

Analysis of Biomechanical Parameters of Martial Arts Routine Athletes' Jumping Difficulty Based on Image Recognition

This paper uses image segmentation technology to examine the biomechanical parameters of martial arts routine athletes' whirlwind legs and backflips, two difficult jumping sports. The successful completion of the whirlwind leg, a typical martial arts jumping difficulty, during the buffer period of the take-off stage, the left knee angle flexion, the drop of the body's center of gravity, and the drop of the horizontal speed of the center of gravity are all significantly correlated, so it is only necessary to grasp airborne altitude and speed from landing. The 720-degree cyclone foot has a flying height of 0.470.11 m, which is 4 cm higher than the 540-degree cyclone foot (0.430.11 m). The antigravity of the last foot is greater than about 1.3 kgf/kg of the left foot during the run-up stage, which allows for a higher rotational angular velocity and completion of the 720-degree difficulty of the whirlwind foot. As a result, it is crucial to pay attention to how you step with your right foot. In the backflip, the coordination of the two legs and the upper body is crucial. The right foot's effective braking can help to increase the body's rising angle. The trunk inclination angle in the flying stage is between 110° and 120°, the knee angle is between 60° and 70°, and the angle between the two legs is between 35° and 35°. When lifting off the ground and landing, the tibialis anterior muscle discharge is greater than the gastrocnemius muscle discharge, which helps to maintain the balance between the fulcrums. As a result, it is necessary to let the non-supporting leg fall first in order to achieve the goal of a smooth landing.

Generation of Human Micro-Doppler Signature Based on Layer-Reduced Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network

Human activity recognition (HAR) using radar micro-Doppler has attracted the attention of researchers in the last decade. Using radar for human activity recognition has been very practical because of its unique advantages. There are several classifiers for the recognition of these activities, all of which require a rich database to produce fine output. Due to the limitations of providing and building a large database, radar micro-Doppler databases are usually limited in number. In this paper, a new method for the generation of radar micro-Doppler of the human body based on the deep convolutional generating adversarial network (DCGAN) is proposed. To generate the database, the required input is also generated by converting the existing motion database to simulated model-based radar data. The simulation results show the success of this method, even on a small amount of data.

Deep Possibilistic C -means Clustering Algorithm on Medical Datasets

In the past, the possibilistic $C$ -means clustering algorithm (PCM) has proven its superiority on various medical datasets by overcoming the unstable clustering effect caused by both the hard division of traditional hard clustering models and the susceptibility of fuzzy $C$ -means clustering algorithm (FCM) to noise. However, with the deep integration and development of the Internet of Things (IoT) as well as big data with the medical field, the width and height of medical datasets are growing bigger and bigger. In the face of high-dimensional and giant complex datasets, it is challenging for the PCM algorithm based on machine learning to extract valuable features from thousands of dimensions, which increases the computational complexity and useless time consumption and makes it difficult to avoid the quality problem of clustering. To this end, this paper proposes a deep possibilistic $C$ -mean clustering algorithm (DPCM) that combines the traditional PCM algorithm with a special deep network called autoencoder. Taking advantage of the fact that the autoencoder can minimize the reconstruction loss and the PCM uses soft affiliation to facilitate gradient descent, DPCM allows deep neural networks and PCM’s clustering centers to be optimized at the same time, so that it effectively improves the clustering efficiency and accuracy. Experiments on medical datasets with various dimensions demonstrate that this method has a better effect than traditional clustering methods, besides being able to overcome the interference of noise better.

Gross domestic product (GDP) is an important indicator for determining a country's or region's economic status and development level, and it is closely linked to inflation, unemployment, and economic growth rates. These basic indicators can comprehensively and effectively reflect a country's or region's future economic development. The center of radial basis function neural network and smoothing factor to take a uniform distribution of the random radial basis function artificial neural network will be the focus of this study.

This study uses the genetic algorithm radial basis, neural network model, to make judgments on the relationships contained in this sequence and compare and analyze the prediction effect and generalization ability of the model to verify the applicability of the genetic algorithm radial basis, neural network model, based on the modeling of historical data, which may contain linear and nonlinear relationships by itself, so this study uses the genetic algorithm radial basis, neural network model, to make, compare, and analyze judgments on the relationships contained in this sequence.

Sparse Representation-Based Discriminative Metric Learning for Brain MRI Image Retrieval

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can have a good diagnostic function for important organs and parts of the body. MRI technology has become a common and important disease detection technology. At the same time, medical imaging data is increasing at an explosive rate. Retrieving similar medical images from a huge database is of great significance to doctors’ auxiliary diagnosis and treatment. In this paper, combining the advantages of sparse representation and metric learning, a sparse representation-based discriminative metric learning (SRDML) approach is proposed for medical image retrieval of brain MRI. The SRDML approach uses a sparse representation framework to learn robust feature representation of brain MRI, and uses metric learning to project new features into the metric space with matching discrimination. In such a metric space, the optimal similarity measure is obtained by using the local constraints of atoms and the pairwise constraints of coding coefficients, so that the distance between similar images is less than the given threshold, and the distance between dissimilar images is greater than another given threshold. The experiments are designed and tested on the brain MRI dataset created by Chang. Experimental results show that the SRDML approach can obtain satisfactory retrieval performance and achieve accurate brain MRI image retrieval.

Frontal Cortex Segmentation of Brain PET Imaging Using Deep Neural Networks

¹⁸F-FDG positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of brain glucose use and amyloid accumulation is a research criteria for Alzheimer's disease (AD) diagnosis. Several PET studies have shown widespread metabolic deficits in the frontal cortex for AD patients. Therefore, studying frontal cortex changes is of great importance for AD research. This paper aims to segment frontal cortex from brain PET imaging using deep neural networks. The learning framework called Frontal cortex Segmentation model of brain PET imaging (FSPET) is proposed to tackle this problem. It combines the anatomical prior to frontal cortex into the segmentation model, which is based on conditional generative adversarial network and convolutional auto-encoder. The FSPET method is evaluated on a dataset of 30 brain PET imaging with ground truth annotated by a radiologist. Results that outperform other baselines demonstrate the effectiveness of the FSPET framework.

Multicentre Study Using Machine Learning Methods in Clinical Diagnosis of Knee Osteoarthritis

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders. OA diagnosis is currently conducted by assessing symptoms and evaluating plain radiographs, but this process suffers from the subjectivity of doctors. In this study, we retrospectively compared five commonly used machine learning methods, especially the CNN network, to predict the real-world X-ray imaging data of knee joints from two different hospitals using Kellgren-Lawrence (K-L) grade of knee OA to help doctors choose proper auxiliary tools. Furthermore, we present attention maps of CNN to highlight the radiological features affecting the network decision. Such information makes the decision process transparent for practitioners, which builds better trust towards such automatic methods and, moreover, reduces the workload of clinicians, especially for remote areas without enough medical staff.

Kernelized k-Local Hyperplane Distance Nearest-Neighbor Model for Predicting Cerebrovascular Disease in Patients With End-Stage Renal Disease

Detecting and treating cerebrovascular diseases are essential for the survival of patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Machine learning algorithms can be used to effectively predict stroke risk in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). An imbalance in the amount of collected data associated with different risk levels can influence the classification task. Therefore, we propose the use of a kernelized k-local hyperplane nearest-neighbor model (KHKNN) for the effective prediction of stroke risk in patients with ESRD. We compared our proposed method with other conventional machine learning methods, which revealed that our method could effectively perform the task of classifying stroke risk.

Recognition of Badminton Shot Action Based on the Improved Hidden Markov Model

In recent years, with the rapid development of sports, the number of people playing various sports is increasing day by day. Among them, badminton has become one of the most popular sports because of the advantages of fewer restrictions on the field and ease of learning. This paper develops a wearable sports activity classification system for accurately recognizing badminton actions. A single acceleration sensor fixed on the end of the badminton racket handle is used to collect the data of the badminton action. The sliding window segmentation technique is used to extract the hitting signal. An improved hidden Markov model (HMM) is developed to identify standard 10 badminton strokes. These include services, forehand chop, backhand chop the goal, the forehand and backhand, forehand drive, backhand push the ball, forehand to pick, pick the ball backhand, and forehand. The experimental results show that the model designed can recognize ten standard strokes in real time. Compared with the traditional HMM, the average recognition rate of the improved HMM is improved by 7.3%. The comprehensive recognition rate of the final strokes can reach up to 95%. Therefore, this model can be used to improve the competitive level of badminton players.

A Novel Music Emotion Recognition Model Using Neural Network Technology

Music plays an extremely important role in people’s production and life. The amount of music is growing rapidly. At the same time, the demand for music organization, classification, and retrieval is also increasing. Paying more attention to the emotional expression of creators and the psychological characteristics of music are also indispensable personalized needs of users. The existing music emotion recognition (MER) methods have the following two challenges. First, the emotional color conveyed by the first music is constantly changing with the playback of the music, and it is difficult to accurately express the ups and downs of music emotion based on the analysis of the entire music. Second, it is difficult to analyze music emotions based on the pitch, length, and intensity of the notes, which can hardly reflect the soul and connotation of music. In this paper, an improved back propagation (BP) algorithm neural network is used to analyze music data. Because the traditional BP network tends to fall into local solutions, the selection of initial weights and thresholds directly affects the training effect. This paper introduces artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm to improve the structure of BP neural network. The output value of the ABC algorithm is used as the weight and threshold of the BP neural network. The ABC algorithm is responsible for adjusting the weights and thresholds, and feeds back the optimal weights and thresholds to the BP neural network system. BP neural network with ABC algorithm can improve the global search ability of the BP network, while reducing the probability of the BP network falling into the local optimal solution, and the convergence speed is faster. Through experiments on public music data sets, the experimental results show that compared with other comparative models, the MER method used in this paper has better recognition effect and faster recognition speed.

Sentiment Classification of News Text Data Using Intelligent Model

Text sentiment classification is a fundamental sub-area in natural language processing. The sentiment classification algorithm is highly domain-dependent. For example, the phrase “traffic jam” expresses negative sentiment in the sentence “I was stuck in a traffic jam on the elevated for 2 h.” But in the domain of transportation, the phrase “traffic jam” in the sentence “Bread and water are essential terms in traffic jams” is without any sentiment. The most common method is to use the domain-specific data samples to classify the text in this domain. However, text sentiment analysis based on machine learning relies on sufficient labeled training data. Aiming at the problem of sentiment classification of news text data with insufficient label news data and the domain adaptation of text sentiment classifiers, an intelligent model, i.e., transfer learning discriminative dictionary learning algorithm (TLDDL) is proposed for cross-domain text sentiment classification. Based on the framework of dictionary learning, the samples from the different domains are projected into a subspace, and a domain-invariant dictionary is built to connect two different domains. To improve the discriminative performance of the proposed algorithm, the discrimination information preserved term and principal component analysis (PCA) term are combined into the objective function. The experiments are performed on three public text datasets. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm improves the sentiment classification performance of texts in the target domain.

A PLA2R-IgG4 Antibody-Based Predictive Model for Assessing Risk Stratification of Idiopathic Membranous Nephropathy

Background

Known as an autoimmune glomerular disease, idiopathic membranous nephropathy (IMN) is considered to be associated with phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) in terms of the main pathogenesis. The quantitative detection of serum PLA2R-IgG and PLA2R-IgG4 antibodies by time-resolved fluoroimmunoassay (TRFIA) was determined, and the value of them, both in the clinical prediction of risk stratification in IMN, was observed in this study.

Methods

95 patients with IMN proved by renal biopsy were enrolled, who had tested positive for serum PLA2R antibodies by ELISA, and the quantitative detection of serum PLA2R-IgG and PLA2R-IgG4 antibodies was achieved by TRFIA. All the patients were divided into low-, medium-, and high-risk groups, respectively, which were set as dependent variables, according to proteinuria and renal function. Random forest (RF) was used to estimate the value of serum PLA2R-IgG and PLA2R-IgG4 in predicting the risk stratification of progression in IMN.

Results

Out-of-bag estimates of variable importance in RF were employed to evaluate the impact of each input variable on the final classification accuracy. The variable of albumin, PLA2R-IgG, and PLA2R-IgG4 had high values (>0.3) of 0.3156, 0.3981, and 0.7682, respectively, which meant that these three were more important for the risk stratification of progression in IMN. In order to further assess the contribution of PLA2R-IgG and PLA2R-IgG4 to the model, we built four different models and found that PLA2R-IgG4 played an important role in improving the predictive ability of the model.

Conclusions

In this study, we established a random forest model to evaluate the value of serum PLA2R-IgG4 antibodies in predicting risk stratification of IMN. Compared with PLA2R-IgG, PLA2R-IgG4 is a more efficient biomarker in predicting the risk of progression in IMN.

Basketball Sports Injury Prediction Model Based on the Grey Theory Neural Network

Sports injuries will have an impact on the consistency and systemicity of the training process, as well as athlete training and performance improvement. Many talented athletes have had their careers cut short due to sports injuries. Preventing sports injuries is the best way for basketball players to reduce sports injuries. Many coaches and athletes on sports teams, on the other hand, are unaware of the importance of sports injury prevention. They only realize that the body's sports functions are abnormal when it suffers from sports injuries. As a result, this paper proposes a gray theory neural network-based athlete injury prediction model. First, from the standpoint of a single model, the improved unequal interval model is used to predict sports injury by optimizing the unequal interval model in gray theory. The findings show that it is a good predictor of sports injuries, but it is a poor predictor of the average number of injuries. Following that, in order to overcome the shortcomings of a single model, a gray neural network combination model was used. A combination model of the unequal time interval model and BP neural network was determined and established. The prediction effect is significantly improved by combining the gray neural network mapping model and the coupling model to predict the two characteristics of sports injuries. Finally, simulation experiments show that the proposed method is effective.

Wearable Device-Based Smart Football Athlete Health Prediction Algorithm Based on Recurrent Neural Networks

For football players who participate in sports, the word “health” is extremely important. Athletes cannot create their own value in competitive competitions without a strong foundation. Scholars have paid a lot of attention to athlete health this year, and many analysis methods have been proposed, but there have been few studies using neural networks. As a result, this article proposes a novel wearable device-based smart football player health prediction algorithm based on recurrent neural networks. To begin, this article employs wearable sensors to collect health data from football players. The time step data are then fed into a recurrent neural network to extract deep features, followed by the health prediction results. The collected football player health dataset is used in this paper to conduct experiments. The simulation results prove the reliability and superiority of the proposed algorithm. Furthermore, the algorithm presented in this paper can serve as a foundation for the football team's and coaches' scientific training plans.

It can implement different types of multimodal medical image fusion problems in batch processing mode and can effectively overcome the problem that traditional fusion problems that can only be solved by single and single image fusion. To a certain extent, it greatly improves the fusion effect, image detail clarity, and time efficiency in a new method. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method exhibits state-of-the-art fusion performance in terms of visual quality and a variety of quantitative evaluation criteria. Its medical diagnostic background is wide.

A Transfer Model Based on Supervised Multi-Layer Dictionary Learning for Brain Tumor MRI Image Recognition

Artificial intelligence (AI) is an effective technology for automatic brain tumor MRI image recognition. The training of an AI model requires a large number of labeled data, but medical data needs to be labeled by professional clinicians, which makes data collection complex and expensive. Moreover, a traditional AI model requires that the training data and test data must follow the independent and identically distributed. To solve this problem, we propose a transfer model based on supervised multi-layer dictionary learning (TSMDL) for brain tumor MRI image recognition in this paper. With the help of the knowledge learned from related domains, the goal of this model is to solve the task of transfer learning where the target domain has only a small number of labeled samples. Based on the framework of multi-layer dictionary learning, the proposed model learns the common shared dictionary of source and target domains in each layer to explore the intrinsic connections and shared information between different domains. At the same time, by making full use of the label information of samples, the Laplacian regularization term is introduced to make the dictionary coding of similar samples as close as possible and the dictionary coding of different class samples as different as possible. The recognition experiments on brain MRI image datasets REMBRANDT and Figshare show that the model performs better than competitive state of-the-art methods.

A One-Dimensional CNN-LSTM Model for Epileptic Seizure Recognition Using EEG Signal Analysis

Frequent epileptic seizures cause damage to the human brain, resulting in memory impairment, mental decline, and so on. Therefore, it is important to detect epileptic seizures and provide medical treatment in a timely manner. Currently, medical experts recognize epileptic seizure activity through the visual inspection of electroencephalographic (EEG) signal recordings of patients based on their experience, which takes much time and effort. In view of this, this paper proposes a one-dimensional convolutional neural network-long short-term memory (1D CNN-LSTM) model for automatic recognition of epileptic seizures through EEG signal analysis. Firstly, the raw EEG signal data are pre-processed and normalized. Then, a 1D convolutional neural network (CNN) is designed to effectively extract the features of the normalized EEG sequence data. In addition, the extracted features are then processed by the LSTM layers in order to further extract the temporal features. After that, the output features are fed into several fully connected layers for final epileptic seizure recognition. The performance of the proposed 1D CNN-LSTM model is verified on the public UCI epileptic seizure recognition data set. Experiments results show that the proposed method achieves high recognition accuracies of 99.39% and 82.00% on the binary and five-class epileptic seizure recognition tasks, respectively. Comparing results with traditional machine learning methods including k-nearest neighbors, support vector machines, and decision trees, other deep learning methods including standard deep neural network and CNN further verify the superiority of the proposed method.

An Investigation of Deep Learning Models for EEG-Based Emotion Recognition

Emotion is the human brain reacting to objective things. In real life, human emotions are complex and changeable, so research into emotion recognition is of great significance in real life applications. Recently, many deep learning and machine learning methods have been widely applied in emotion recognition based on EEG signals. However, the traditional machine learning method has a major disadvantage in that the feature extraction process is usually cumbersome, which relies heavily on human experts. Then, end-to-end deep learning methods emerged as an effective method to address this disadvantage with the help of raw signal features and time-frequency spectrums. Here, we investigated the application of several deep learning models to the research field of EEG-based emotion recognition, including deep neural networks (DNN), convolutional neural networks (CNN), long short-term memory (LSTM), and a hybrid model of CNN and LSTM (CNN-LSTM). The experiments were carried on the well-known DEAP dataset. Experimental results show that the CNN and CNN-LSTM models had high classification performance in EEG-based emotion recognition, and their accurate extraction rate of RAW data reached 90.12 and 94.17%, respectively. The performance of the DNN model was not as accurate as other models, but the training speed was fast. The LSTM model was not as stable as the CNN and CNN-LSTM models. Moreover, with the same number of parameters, the training speed of the LSTM was much slower and it was difficult to achieve convergence. Additional parameter comparison experiments with other models, including epoch, learning rate, and dropout probability, were also conducted in the paper. Comparison results prove that the DNN model converged to optimal with fewer epochs and a higher learning rate. In contrast, the CNN model needed more epochs to learn. As for dropout probability, reducing the parameters by ~50% each time was appropriate.

Intelligent Rehabilitation Assistance Tools for Distal Radius Fracture: A Systematic Review Based on Literatures and Mobile Application Stores

Objective

To systematically analyze the existing intelligent rehabilitation mobile applications (APPs) related to distal radius fracture (DRF) and evaluate their features and characteristics, so as to help doctors and patients to make evidence-based choice for appropriate intelligent-assisted rehabilitation.

Methods

Literatures which in regard to the intelligent rehabilitation tools of DRF were systematic retrieved from the PubMed, the Cochrane library, Wan Fang, and VIP Data. The effective APPs were systematically screened out through the APP markets of iOS and Android mobile platform, and the functional characteristics of different APPs were evaluated and analyzed.

Results

A total of 8 literatures and 31 APPs were included, which were divided into four categories: intelligent intervention, angle measurement, intelligent monitoring, and auxiliary rehabilitation games. These APPs provide support for the patients' home rehabilitation guidance and training and make up for the high cost and space limitations of traditional rehabilitation methods. The intelligent intervention category has the largest download ratio in the APP market. Angle measurement tools help DRF patients to measure the joint angle autonomously to judge the degree of rehabilitation, which is the most concentrated type of literature research. Some of the APPs and tools have obtained good clinical verification. However, due to the restrictions of cost, geographic authority, and applicable population, a large number of APPs still lack effective evidence to support popularization.

Conclusion

Patients with DRF could draw support from different kinds of APPs in order to fulfill personal need and promote self-management. Intelligent rehabilitation APPs play a positive role in the rehabilitation of patients, but the acceptance of the utilization for intelligent rehabilitation APPs is relatively low, which might need follow-up research to address the conundrum.
