Muscle fatigue impacts upper extremity function but is often overlooked in biomechanical models. The present work leveraged a transfer learning approach to improve torque predictions during fatiguing upper extremity movements. We developed two artifi...
Muscle tone is defined as the resistance to passive stretch, but this definition is often criticized for its ambiguity since some suggest it is related to a state of preparation for movement. Muscle tone is primarily regulated by the central nervous ...
Hand gesture recognition based on sparse multichannel surface electromyography (sEMG) still poses a significant challenge to deployment as a muscle-computer interface. Many researchers have been working to develop an sEMG-based hand gesture recogniti...

When applying continuous motion estimation (CME) model based on sEMG to human-robot system, it is inevitable to encounter scenarios in which the motions performed by the user are different from the motions in the training stage of the model. It has b...
Numerous automatic sleep stage classification systems have been developed, but none have become effective assistive tools for sleep technicians due to issues with generalization. Four key factors hinder the generalization of these models are instrume...
