A neurological illness is t he disorder in human nervous system that can result in various diseases including the motor disabilities. Neurological disorders may affect the motor neurons, which are associated with skeletal muscles and control the body...
Movement analysis of infants' body parts is momentous for the early detection of various movement disorders such as cerebral palsy. Most existing techniques are either marker-based or use wearable sensors to analyze the movement disorders. Such techn...

The hand extension robot orthosis (HERO) glove was iteratively designed with occupational therapists and stroke survivors to enable stroke survivors with severe hand impairment to grasp and stabilize everyday objects, while being portable, lightweigh...
Animal models of human disease provide an system that can reveal molecular mechanisms by which mutations cause pathology, and, moreover, have the potential to provide a valuable tool for drug development. Here, we have developed a zebrafish model of...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) surgery has been shown to dramatically improve the quality of life for patients with various motor dysfunctions, such as those afflicted with Parkinson's disease (PD), dystonia, and essential tremor (ET), by relieving mot...
Commonly used for Parkinson's disease (PD), deep brain stimulation (DBS) produces marked clinical benefits when optimized. However, assessing the large number of possible stimulation settings (i.e., programming) requires numerous clinic visits. Here,...
