IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dec 4, 2014
This paper presents the design, implementation and experimental validation of a novel robotic haptic exoskeleton device to measure the user's hand motion and assist hand motion while remaining portable and lightweight. The device consists of a five-f...
This paper proposes a scheme for human force manipulability (HFM) based on the use of isometric joint torque properties to simulate the spatial characteristics of human operation forces at an end-point of a limb with feasible magnitudes for a specifi...

BACKGROUND: Gait quality indices, such as the Gillette Gait Index or Gait Profile Score (GPS), can provide clinicians with objective, straightforward measures to quantify gait pathology and monitor changes over time. However, these methods often requ...
Journal of burn care & research : official publication of the American Burn Association
Jan 24, 2025
Burn injuries often result in severe hand complications, including joint contractures and nerve damage, sometimes leading to amputation. Despite early treatment, hypertrophic scarring frequently hampers hand function recovery, and the thick raised sc...
