BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often experience gait impairments. Robot-assisted gait training (RGT) has been shown to have beneficial effects in this patient population. However, clinical outcomes of RGT vary substantially from patien...
: While shoulder injuries represent the musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) most encountered in physical therapy, there is no consensus on their management. In attempts to provide standardized and personalized treatment, a robotic-assisted device combin...
Repetitive lifting tasks in occupational settings often result in shoulder injuries, impacting both health and productivity. Accurately assessing the biomechanical risk of these tasks remains a significant challenge in occupational ergonomics, partic...

OBJECTIVES: In recent years, significant progress has been made in the research of gesture recognition using surface electromyography (sEMG) signals based on machine learning and deep learning techniques. The main motivation for sEMG gesture recognit...
Creating an intracortical brain computer interface (iBCI) capable of seamless transitions between tasks and contexts would greatly enhance user experience. However, the nonlinearity in neural activity presents challenges to computing a global iBCI de...
This study presents a method for the active control of a follow-up lower extremity exoskeleton rehabilitation robot (LEERR) based on human motion intention recognition. Initially, to effectively support body weight and compensate for the vertical mov...
Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) are designed to collaborate with the wearer, enhancing operational capabilities. When human limbs are occupied with primary tasks, controlling SRLs flexibly and naturally becomes a challenge. Existing methods such a...
BACKGROUND: This study leverages Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) to predict lower limb joint moments and electromyography (EMG) signals from Ground Reaction Forces (GRF), providing a novel perspective on human gait analysis. This approach aims to e...
For trained individuals such as athletes and musicians, learning often plateaus after extensive training, known as the "ceiling effect." One bottleneck to overcome it is having no prior physical experience with the skill to be learned. Here, we chall...
