Highlights

● For the first time, the advantages of two deep learning architectures-SegNet and U-Net-were integrated by averaging their prediction outputs. This ensemble approach overcame the limitations of single models and substantially improved segmentation accuracy. 

● The proposed Ensemble Model outperformed both SegNet and U-Net across all major evaluation metrics, including the Intersection over Union (IoU, 93.73%), Dice coefficient (84.85%), precision (93.93%), and loss (0.63), confirming the effectiveness of multi-method fusion. 

● Considering the complex morphology and indistinct lesion boundaries characteristic of skin diseases, a standardized preprocessing and data augmentation pipeline was developed to enhance the model' s robustness in handling diverse lesion patterns.

Highlights 

● As a primary weight-bearing joint, the ankle is highly susceptible to injury, while neurological disorders such as stroke can further impair its motor function, leading to long-term gait disturbances. 

● Rehabilitation robots can be platform-based or wearable: platforms aid early-stage motion restoration, while wearable designs focus on gait retraining. 

● Control systems must prioritize motion accuracy and safety. Adaptive algorithms boost performance, while bioelectric signal integration enables intention recognition. Coupling with virtual or augmented reality further enhances patient engagement.
