Metals are considered to be one of the most hazardous substances due to their potential for accumulation, magnification, persistence, and wide distribution in water, sediments, and aquatic organisms. Demersal fish species, such as turbot (), are acce...
Many creatures have the ability to traverse challenging environments by using their active muscles with anisotropic structures as the motors in a highly coordinated fashion. However, most artificial robots require multiple independently activated act...
Robot-aided gait training (RAGT) has been implemented to provide patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with a physiological limb activation during gait, cognitive engagement, and an appropriate stimulation of peripheral receptors, which are essentia...
In order to better perform rehabilitation training on the ankle joint complex in the direction of dorsiflexion/plantarflexion and inversion/eversion, especially when performing the isokinetic muscle strength exercise, we need to calibrate the kinemat...
Continuous joint angle estimation based on a surface electromyography (sEMG) signal can be used to improve the man-machine coordination performance of the exoskeleton. In this study, we proposed a time-advanced feature and utilized long short-term me...
Lower-limb wearable robotic devices can improve clinical gait and reduce energetic demand in healthy populations. To help enable real-world use, we sought to examine how assistance should be applied in variable gait conditions and suggest an approach...
The present study aimed to determine the contribution of soccer players' anthropometric features to predict their physical performance. Sixteen players, from a professional youth soccer academy, were recruited. Several anthropometric features such as...
PURPOSE: Aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a software toolkit, which allows for a fully automated body composition analysis in contrast enhanced abdominal computed tomography leveraging the strengths of both, quantitative information from...
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,...
