The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using real-time human-in-the-loop pattern recognition-based myoelectric control to control vertical support force or vertical position to improve reach in individuals with chro...
Chronic pain is prevalent and disproportionately impacts adults with a lower quality of life. Although subjective self-reporting is the "gold standard" for pain assessment, tools are needed to objectively monitor and account for inter-individual diff...
Low Back Pain (LBP) is the most prevalent musculoskeletal condition worldwide and a leading cause of disability, significantly affecting mobility, work productivity, and overall quality of life. Due to its high prevalence and substantial economic bur...
There is increasing interest in using assistive robotic devices to support motor re-learning and recovery in individuals with neurological impairments. These robots aim to enhance overall motor control by providing adaptive assistance. However, using...
Human-robot interaction (HRI) is a crucial component in the field of robotics, and enabling faster response, higher accuracy, as well as smaller human effort, is essential to improve the efficiency, robustness, and applicability of HRI-driven tasks. ...
