Therapeutic protocols involving subretinal injection, which hold the promise of saving or restoring sight, are challenging for surgeons because they are at the limits of human motor and perceptual abilities. Excessive or insufficient indentation of t...
With advances in materials science and medical technology, wearable sensors have become crucial tools for the early diagnosis and continuous monitoring of numerous cardiovascular diseases, including arrhythmias, hypertension and coronary artery disea...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Feb 18, 2025
PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of upper limb dysfunctions due to stroke, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis presents a critical challenge in assistive technology: designing robotic arms that are both energy‑efficient and capable of effe...
OBJECTIVE: Using deep learning-based techniques to overcome physical limitations and explore the potential performance of 0.2 T low-field unshielded MRI in terms of imaging quality and speed.
Delicate manual microsurgeries rely on sufficient hands-on experience for safe manipulations. Automated surgical devices can enhance the effectiveness, but developing high-resolution, multi-axis force-sensing devices for micro operations remains chal...
When the beetle lands on the target, the hind wings fold regularly to form smaller wing packages and are hidden on the ventral side of the elytra due to the interaction between the elytra and abdomen. Its complex folding pattern is attributed to the ...
A transverse ledge brachiation robot is designed to move transversely along a ledge on a vertical wall by generating energy from the swinging motion of its lower limbs. This method reduces the force required by the upper limbs to propel the robot for...
Assistive robots can be developed to restore or provide more autonomy for individuals with motor impairments. In particular, power wheelchairs can compensate lower-limb impairments, while robotic manipulators can compensate upper-limbs impairments. R...
The detection of early-stage diseases is often impeded by the low concentrations of protein biomarkers, necessitating sophisticated and costly technologies. In response, we have developed an advanced cyber-physical system that integrates blood plasma...
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Feb 13, 2025
This study presents a novel wearable solution integrating Polymer Optical Fiber (POF) sensors into a knee sleeve to monitor knee flexion/extension (F/E) patterns during walking. POF sensors offer advantages such as flexibility, light weight, and robu...
