Individual muscle strengths in rehabilitation outcomes of distal radius fracture.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Distal radius fractures (DRFs) are common fracture types and elderly patients often struggle to achieve functional recovery, which could be overcome by precise rehabilitation. This study aims to develop an innovative approach for acquirin...

Prediction of future aging-related slow gait and its determinants with deep learning and logistic regression.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Identification of accelerated aging and its biomarkers can lead to more timely therapeutic interventions and decision-making. Therefore, we sought to predict aging-related slow gait, a known predictor of accelerated aging, and its determi...

Effective Autism Classification Through Grasping Kinematics.

Autism research : official journal of the International Society for Autism Research
Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, where motor abnormalities play a central role alongside social and communication difficulties. These motor symptoms often manifest in early childhood, making them critical targets for early diagnosis ...

Single Joint Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL-SJ) robotic exoskeleton therapy in improving functional outcomes among workers with wrist fractures: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Robotic technologies have been developed for motor rehabilitation and such robots have shown favourable results when compared with equivalent doses of usual clinical therapy. Recently, robotic interventions have been suggested to be app...

Design and Implementation of a Soft-Rigid Hybrid Gripper with Bionic Ligaments and Joint Capsule.

Soft robotics
Dealing with grasping tasks in unstructured environments, existing soft grippers often exhibit a lack of static stability, while rigid-soft hybrid grippers display limited compliance due to the fixed connections at the joints. To address the challeng...

Improved performance of fNIRS-BCI by stacking of deep learning-derived frequency domain features.

PloS one
The functional near-infrared spectroscopy-based brain-computer interface (fNIRS-BCI) systems recognize patterns in brain signals and generate control commands, thereby enabling individuals with motor disabilities to regain autonomy. In this study han...

Fabric integrated wearable glove with a twisted string actuator for manual handling tasks.

Scientific reports
Wearable robotic gloves with grip-assistive functionality offer a promising solution for high-intensity manual tasks. However, achieving a balance among lightweight design, adequate force generation, and dexterous hand movement in wearable robotic gl...

Teleoperator Coupling Dynamics Impact Human Motor Control Across Pursuit Tracking Speeds.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Robotic teleoperators introduce novel electromechanical dynamics between the user and the environment. While considerable effort has focused on minimizing these dynamics, we lack a robust understanding of their impact on user task performance across ...

Soft robotic hand with tactile palm-finger coordination.

Nature communications
Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical sup...
