BACKGROUND: To assist people with disabilities, exoskeletons must be provided with human-robot interfaces and smart algorithms capable to identify the user's movement intentions. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals could be suitable for this pur...
Sleep disorders, which negatively affect an individual's daily quality of life, are a common problem for most of society. The most dangerous sleep disorder is obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS), which manifests itself during sleep and can cause ...

Research on machine learning approaches for upper-limb prosthesis control has shown impressive progress. However, translating these results from the lab to patient's everyday lives remains a challenge because advanced control schemes tend to break do...
BACKGROUND: Stair climbing can be a challenging part of daily life and a limiting factor for social participation, in particular for patients after stroke. In order to promote motor relearning of stair climbing, different therapeutical measures can b...
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning models can learn representations of data that extract useful information in order to perform prediction without feature engineering. In this paper, an electromyography (EMG) control scheme with a regression convolutional neur...
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of applying myoelectric pattern recognition for controlling a robotic hand in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI).

In the context of assistive robotics, myocontrol is one of the so-far unsolved problems of upper-limb prosthetics. It consists of swiftly, naturally, and reliably converting biosignals, non-invasively gathered from an upper-limb disabled subject, int...
Determining the signal quality of surface electromyography (sEMG) recordings is time consuming and requires the judgement of trained observers. An automated procedure to evaluate sEMG quality would streamline data processing and reduce time demands. ...
Neuromuscular impairment associated with cerebral palsy (CP) often leads to life-long walking deficits. Our goal was to evaluate the ability of a novel untethered wearable ankle exoskeleton to reduce the severity of gait pathology from CP. In this cl...
