Context-dependent adaptation improves robustness of myoelectric control for upper-limb prostheses.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Dexterous upper-limb prostheses are available today to restore grasping, but an effective and reliable feed-forward control is still missing. The aim of this work was to improve the robustness and reliability of myoelectric control by usin...

Modifying upper-limb inter-joint coordination in healthy subjects by training with a robotic exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The possibility to modify the usually pathological patterns of coordination of the upper-limb in stroke survivors remains a central issue and an open question for neurorehabilitation. Despite robot-led physical training could potentially ...

The JamHand: Dexterous Manipulation with Minimal Actuation.

Soft robotics
From using chopsticks to grab items off a plate, to snapping together two LEGO bricks in one hand, common manipulation tasks are easy for humans. However, grasping and dexterous manipulation still rank among the principal grand challenges in robotics...

How Much Does the Anatomical Tibial Component Improve the Bony Coverage in Total Knee Arthroplasty?

The Journal of arthroplasty
BACKGROUND: Recently, anatomical designs in total knee arthroplasty are introduced to address asymmetry of the resected tibia cutting surface. It is still not well known how much improvement would be achieved in total knee arthroplasty, especially in...

An integrated model of pitch perception incorporating place and temporal pitch codes with application to cochlear implant research.

Hearing research
Although the neural mechanisms underlying pitch perception are not yet fully understood, there is general agreement that place and temporal representations of pitch are both used by the auditory system. This paper describes a neural network model of ...

Methodology for designing and manufacturing complex biologically inspired soft robotic fluidic actuators: prosthetic hand case study.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We present a novel methodology for the design and manufacture of complex biologically inspired soft robotic fluidic actuators. The methodology is applied to the design and manufacture of a prosthetic for the hand. Real human hands are scanned to prod...

The Si elegans project at the interface of experimental and computational Caenorhabditis elegans neurobiology and behavior.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: In light of recent progress in mapping neural function to behavior, we briefly and selectively review past and present endeavors to reveal and reconstruct nervous system function in Caenorhabditis elegans through simulation.

Online Bimanual Manipulation Using Surface Electromyography and Incremental Learning.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The paradigm of simultaneous and proportional myocontrol of hand prostheses is gaining momentum in the rehabilitation robotics community. As opposed to the traditional surface electromyography classification schema, in simultaneous and proportional c...

Recent advancements in prosthetic hand technology.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Recently, significant advances over the past decade have been made in robotics, artificial intelligence and other cognitive related fields, allowing development of highly sophisticated bio-mimetic robotics systems. In addition, enormous number of rob...
