This paper introduces a lightweight bilateral underactuated upper limb exoskeleton (UULE) designed to assist chronic stroke patients with distal joint (Elbow-Wrist) impairments during bimanual activities of daily living (ADL). The UULE aims to assist...
BACKGROUND: With the arrival of the new generation of artificial intelligence wave, new human-robot interaction technologies continue to emerge. Brain-computer interface (BCI) offers a pathway for state monitoring and interaction control between huma...
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...
Gait phase recognition systems based on surface electromyographic signals (EMGs) are crucial for developing advanced myoelectric control schemes that enhance the interaction between humans and lower limb assistive devices. However, machine learning m...

OBJECTIVE: To derive and validate a prediction model for minimal clinically important differences (MCIDs) in upper extremity (UE) motor function after intention-driven robotic hand training using residual voluntary electromyography (EMG) signals from...
Surface electromyography (sEMG) offers a novel method in human-machine interactions (HMIs) since it is a distinct physiological electrical signal that conceals human movement intention and muscle information. Unfortunately, the nonlinear and non-smoo...
BACKGROUND: The aim of the study was to assess the inter-rater and intra-rater agreement of measurements performed with the Luna EMG (electromyography) multifunctional robot, a tool for evaluation of upper limb proprioception in individuals with stro...

Sarcopenia is a comprehensive degenerative disease with the progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass with age, accompanied by the loss of muscle strength and muscle dysfunction. Individuals with unmanaged sarcopenia may experience adverse outcomes. P...
Diagnosis of bruxism is challenging because not all contractions of the masticatory muscles can be classified as bruxism. Conventional methods for sleep bruxism detection vary in effectiveness. Some provide objective data through EMG, ECG, or EEG; ot...
