BACKGROUND: The classical description of poststroke upper limb impairment follows a proximalto-distal impairment gradient. Previous studies are equivocal on whether the hand is more impaired than the arm.

The morphology of the finger bones in hand-wrist radiographs (HWRs) can be considered as a radiological skeletal maturity indicator, along with the other indicators. This study aims to validate the anatomical landmarks envisaged to be used for classi...
Development and implementation of neuroprosthetic hands is a multidisciplinary field at the interface between humans and artificial robotic systems, which aims at replacing the sensorimotor function of the upper-limb amputees as their own. Although p...
Hand gesture recognition (HGR) based on electromyography signals (EMGs) and inertial measurement unit signals (IMUs) has been investigated for human-machine applications in the last few years. The information obtained from the HGR systems has the pot...
Human manual dexterity relies critically on touch. Robotic and prosthetic hands are much less dexterous and make little use of the many tactile sensors available. We propose a framework modeled on the hierarchical sensorimotor controllers of the nerv...
Dexterous robotic manipulation tasks depend on estimating the state of in-hand objects, particularly their orientation. Although cameras have been traditionally used to estimate the object's pose, tactile sensors have recently been studied due to the...
The article explores the possibilities of using hand gestures as a control interface for robotic systems in a collaborative workspace. The development of hand gesture control interfaces has become increasingly important in everyday life as well as pr...

To grasp an object successfully, we must select appropriate contact regions for our hands on the surface of the object. However, identifying such regions is challenging. This paper describes a workflow to estimate the contact regions from marker-base...
In recent years, hand gesture recognition (HGR) technologies that use electromyography (EMG) signals have been of considerable interest in developing human-machine interfaces. Most state-of-the-art HGR approaches are based mainly on supervised machin...
The present study aimed to evaluate the performance of automated skeletal maturation assessment system for Fishman's skeletal maturity indicators (SMI) for the use in dental fields. Skeletal maturity is particularly important in orthodontics for the ...
