Mixed -synthesis tracking control and disturbance rejection in a robotic digit of an impaired human hand for anthropomorphic coordination.

In a partially impaired anthropomorphic hand, maintaining the movement coordination of the robotic digits with the central nervous system (CNS) and natural digits is crucial for robust performance. A challenge in the control perspective of movement coordination of a human hand is finding methods robust to the disturbances in a well-posed control problem of a biomechanical model. We use visco-elast...

Perioperative role of oral gabapentin as an analgesic in paediatric patients: A randomised controlled trial.
