Historically, Classic Extended Physiological Proprioception (EPP) as an upper-limb prosthesis control topology has been outperforming functionally all other topologies of the past. A novel Biomechatronic EPP controller has been designed to overcome s...
A novel robotic mirror therapy system was recently developed to provide proprioceptive stimulus to the hemiplegic arm during a mirror therapy. Validation of the robotic mirror therapy system was performed to confirm its synchronicity prior to the cli...
