Brain-controlled robotic arm systems are designed to provide a method of communication and control for individuals with limited mobility or communication abilities. These systems can be beneficial for people who have suffered from a spinal cord injur...
PURPOSES: The objective of this study was to investigate intra-articular distal radius fractures, aiming to provide a comprehensive analysis of fracture patterns and discuss the corresponding treatment strategies for each pattern.
INTRODUCTION: Grip strength serves as a significant marker for diagnosing and assessing sarcopenia, particularly in elderly populations. The study aims to explore the relationship between individual thigh muscle volumes and grip strength, leveraging ...
INTRODUCTION: Frailty is an emerging global health burden, and there is no consensus on the precise prediction of frailty. We aimed to explore the association between grip strength and frailty and interpret the optimal machine learning (ML) model usi...

The loss of bilateral hand function is a debilitating challenge for millions of individuals that suffered a motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI). We have recently demonstrated in eight tetraplegic individuals the presence of highly functional spar...
This study explores manipulator control using reinforcement learning, specifically targeting anthropomorphic gripper-equipped robots, with the objective of enhancing the robots' ability to safely exchange diverse objects with humans during human-robo...
The loss of a hand disrupts the sophisticated neural pathways between the brain and the hand, severely affecting the level of independence of the patient and the ability to carry out daily work and social activities. Recent years have witnessed a rap...
