Photoacoustic imaging potentially allows for the real-time visualization of functional human tissue parameters such as oxygenation but is subject to a challenging underlying quantification problem. While in silico studies have revealed the great pote...
In recent years, the neural control mechanisms of the arms and legs during human bipedal walking have been clarified. Rhythmic leg stepping leads to suppression of monosynaptic reflex excitability in forearm muscles. However, it is unknown whether an...
BACKGROUND: Ultrasound guidance increases the success rate of peripheral intravenous catheter placement. However, the longer time required to obtain ultrasound-guided access poses difficulties for ultrasound beginners. Notably, interpretation of ultr...
There are physical Human-Robot Interaction (pHRI) applications where the robot has to grab the human body, such as rescue or assistive robotics. Being able to precisely estimate the grasping location when grabbing a human limb is crucial to perform a...

INTRODUCTION: Traditional bone surgery using saws and chisels is associated with direct contact of instruments with the bone causing friction, heat and pressure and hence, damaging the bone and the surrounding soft tissues.
The purpose of the study was to develop a deep learning network for estimating and constructing highly accurate 3D bone models directly from actual X-ray images and to verify its accuracy. The data used were 173 computed tomography (CT) images and 10...
Grasp force estimation based on surface electromyography (sEMG) is essential for the dexterous control of a prosthetic hand. Nowadays, although increasing the number of sEMG measurement positions and extracting more features are common methods to inc...
OBJECTIVE: We sought to determine histologic and gene expression features of clinical improvement in early diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc; scleroderma).
Current research suggests that the wrist extensor muscles function as the primary stabilizers of the wrist-joint complex. However, most investigations have utilized isometric study designs, with little consideration for wrist dynamics or changes in p...
Functioning as wrist stabilizers, the wrist extensor muscles exhibit higher levels of muscle activity than the flexors in most distal upper-limb tasks. However, this finding has been derived mostly from isometric or wrist flexion-extension protocols,...
