We developed the isokinetic exercise robot for single joint muscle training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of contraction types (concentric vs. eccentric contractions) and contractile speeds (slow vs. fast contractions) con...

Motor learning issues for hemiplegics not only include motor impairments such as spastic paralysis, but reportedly also an inability to appropriately recognize somatic sensations. In this regard, biofeedback of movement information through visual inf...

Rehabilitative exercise for people suffering from upper limb impairments has the potential to improve their neuro-plasticity due to repetitive training. Our study investigates the usefulness of Electroencephalogram and Electromyogram (EMG) signals fo...
BACKGROUND: Prone mobility, central to development of diverse psychological and social processes that have lasting effects on life participation, is seldom attained by infants with cerebral palsy (CP) and has no tested interventions. Reinforcement le...
The restoration of voluntary muscle activity in posttraumatic paraplegia in both animal experiments and other clinical applications requires reproducibility of a technically-demanding microsurgical procedure, limited by physicians' understanding of B...
Here, model blister-like soft thermo-pneumatic artificial muscles with the embedded nanofibers impregnated with ethanol are developed. The muscles are essentially blister-like thermo-pneumatic soft actuators (BTSAs), which deflect in response to heat...

To maintain balance during dynamic locomotion, the effects of proprioceptive sensory feedback control (e.g. reflexive control) should not be ignored because of its simple sensation and fast reaction time. Scientists have identified the pathways of re...
