Brain-machine interfaces for controlling lower-limb powered robotic systems.

Journal of neural engineering
OBJECTIVE: Lower-limb, powered robotics systems such as exoskeletons and orthoses have emerged as novel robotic interventions to assist or rehabilitate people with walking disabilities. These devices are generally controlled by certain physical maneu...

Infection prevention and control challenges of using a therapeutic robot.

Nursing older people
This work was part of a National Institute for Health Research participatory action research and practice development study, which focused on the use of a therapeutic, robotic baby seal (PARO, for personal assistive robot) in everyday practice in a s...

BACKGROUND: Da Vinci Surgical System is one of the greatest inventions of the 20th century, which represents the development direction of the precise minimally invasive surgical techniques, the aim of this study was to comparing the short-term outcom...

Robotic investigation on effect of stretch reflex and crossed inhibitory response on bipedal hopping.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
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...

[Standard surgery for small renal masses (<4 cm)].

Der Urologe. Ausg. A
BACKGROUND: Several new treatment strategies have emerged in the treatment of small renal masses (<4 cm in diameter). Active surveillance and ablative techniques have been introduced but it remains unclear which patients will benefit the most from th...

Mitral repair and the robot: a revolutionary tool or marketing ploy?

Current opinion in cardiology
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: In this review, we discuss the current evidence supporting each minimally invasive mitral repair approach and their associated controversies.
