Myoelectric, Myo-Oxygenation, and Myotonometry Changes during Robot-Assisted Bilateral Arm Exercises with Varying Resistances.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot-assisted bilateral arm training has demonstrated its effectiveness in improving motor function in individuals post-stroke, showing significant enhancements with increased repetitions. However, prolonged training sessions may lead to both mental...

Human arm endpoint-impedance in rhythmic human-robot interaction exhibits cyclic variations.

PloS one
Estimating the human endpoint-impedance interacting with a physical environment provides insights into goal-directed human movements during physical interactions. This work examined the endpoint-impedance of the upper limb during a hybrid ball-bounci...

Analysis of learning the bimanual control of (tele)operating joint space controlled robotic arms with 4 degrees of freedom using the two-timescales power law of learning.

Ergonomics
Training costs for operators of robotic arms in forestry and construction are high. A systematic analysis of skill development can help to make training more efficient. This research focuses on motor skill development by investigating the bimanual co...

Soft Robotics to Enhance Upper Limb Endurance in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis.

Soft robotics
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system and can result in various symptoms, including muscle weakness, spasticity, and fatigue, ultimately leading to the deterioration of the musculoskeletal sy...

Interdisciplinary evaluation of a robot physically collaborating with workers.

PloS one
Collaborative Robots-CoBots-are emerging as a promising technological aid for workers. To date, most CoBots merely share their workspace or collaborate without contact, with their human partners. We claim that robots would be much more beneficial if ...

Segmentation of Arm Ultrasound Images in Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: A Database and Deep Learning Algorithm.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Breast cancer treatment often causes the removal of or damage to lymph nodes of the patient's lymphatic drainage system. This side effect is the origin of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL), referring to a noticeable increase in exces...

Customization of a passive surgical support robot to specifications for ophthalmic surgery and preliminary evaluation.

Japanese journal of ophthalmology
PURPOSE: To customize a passive surgery support robot for ophthalmic surgery and preliminarily evaluate its performance.

Collision avoidance analysis of human-robot physical interaction based on null-space impedance control of a dynamic reference arm plane.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
When the terminal upper limb rehabilitation robot is used for motion-assisted training, collisions between the manipulator links and the human upper limb may occur due to the null-space self-motion of the redundant manipulator. A null-space impedance...

Impairments of the arm and hand are highly correlated during subacute stroke.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: The classical description of poststroke upper limb impairment follows a proximalto-distal impairment gradient. Previous studies are equivocal on whether the hand is more impaired than the arm.

Biomimetic Approaches for Human Arm Motion Generation: Literature Review and Future Directions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, numerous studies have been conducted to analyze how humans subconsciously optimize various performance criteria while performing a particular task, which has led to the development of robots that are capable of performing tasks with ...
