BACKGROUND: Telerehabilitation allows patients to engage in therapy away from healthcare facilities, often in the comfort of their homes. Studies have suggested that it can effectively improve motor and cognitive function. However, its applicability ...
INTRODUCTION: Robotic technologies have been developed for motor rehabilitation and such robots have shown favourable results when compared with equivalent doses of usual clinical therapy. Recently, robotic interventions have been suggested to be app...
PURPOSE: Minimally invasive needle-based interventions are commonly used in cancer diagnosis and treatment, including procedures, such as biopsy, brachytherapy, and microwave ablation. Although MR-guided needle placement offers several distinct advan...
In dexterous robotic hand design, achieving high mobility and adaptability comparable to human hands remains an ongoing challenge. Biomimetic designs mimicking the musculoskeletal structure have shown promise yet face difficulties in preserving key k...
Animal bodies act as physical controllers, with their finely tuned passive mechanical responses physically "encoding" complex movements and environmental interactions. This capability allows animals to perform challenging tasks with minimal muscular ...
Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) exhibit a bending-elastic instability, or kink, before becoming airborne, a feature previously hypothesized but not substantiated to enhance jumping performance. Here, we provide the evidence that this kink is crucia...
Dealing with grasping tasks in unstructured environments, existing soft grippers often exhibit a lack of static stability, while rigid-soft hybrid grippers display limited compliance due to the fixed connections at the joints. To address the challeng...

BACKGROUND: Hemiplegic gait after a stroke can result in a decreased gait speed and asymmetrical gait pattern. Normal gait patterns and speed are typically the ultimate goals of gait function in stroke rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to...
BACKGROUND: Despite the growing use of social robots in geriatric care, there is a lack of standardized ethical guidelines to inform and guide professionals in their implementation.
