This study presents a portable device that ensures precise contact force between a subject and a probe to improve the stability and reproducibility of ultrasound (US) acquisition. The mechanical portion of the device includes a servo motor, gears, an...
Real world settings are seldomly just composed of level surfaces and stairs are frequently encountered in daily life. Unfortunately, ~ 90% of the elderly population use some sort of compensation pattern in order to negotiate stairs. Because the biome...
The present study investigated the role of a urethral support system to maintain urinary continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), with a focus on pelvic floor muscles, such as the puboperinealis muscle (PPM) and rectourethralis m...
Up to now bio-inspired fish-mimicking robots fail when competing with the swimming performance of real fish. While tail motion has been studied extensively, the influence of the head motion is still not fully understood and its active control is chal...
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the surgical influence of secondary resection on sexual function in finally unilateral nerve-sparing robot- assisted laparoscopic prostatectomies (RALPs) performed with the 'neurovascular structure-adjacent frozen-section ex...
There has been an increasing demand for robotic coil positioning during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment. Accurate coil positioning is crucial because rTMS generally targets specific brain regions for both research and cl...

AIM: Systematically determine the effectiveness and users' perceptions of upper extremity (UE) exoskeletons and robot-assisted devices for pediatric rehabilitation.
The novel technique of lateral pelvic fascia preservation (LPFP) in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) has been reported to improve urinary continence recovery. We aimed to investigate surgical and oncological outcomes after RARP using the L...
