BACKGROUND: Since birth, during the exploration of the environment to interact with objects, we exploit both the motor and sensory components of the upper limb (UL). This ability to integrate sensory and motor information is often compromised followi...
The value of intrinsic energetic behavior of human biomechanics has recently been recognized and exploited in physical human-robot interaction (pHRI). The authors have recently proposed the concept of "Biomechanical Excess of Passivity," based on non...

BACKGROUND: Selection of a suitable training modality according to the status of upper limb function can maximize the effects of robotic rehabilitation; therefore, it is necessary to identify the optimal training modality.
BACKGROUND: Upper limb dysfunction after stroke seriously affects quality of life. Bilateral training has proven helpful in recovery of upper limb motor function in these patients. However, studies evaluating the effectiveness of bilateral upper limb...
Estimating the human endpoint-impedance interacting with a physical environment provides insights into goal-directed human movements during physical interactions. This work examined the endpoint-impedance of the upper limb during a hybrid ball-bounci...
Extra robotic arms (XRAs) are gaining interest in neuroscience and robotics, offering potential tools for daily activities. However, this compelling opportunity poses new challenges for sensorimotor control strategies and human-machine interfaces (HM...

This paper introduces the Long Short-Term Memory with Dual-Stage Attention (LSTM-MSA) model, an approach for analyzing electromyography (EMG) signals. EMG signals are crucial in applications like prosthetic control, rehabilitation, and human-computer...
Upper limb lymphedema (ULLy) is an external (and/or internal) manifestation of lymphatic system insufficiency and deranged lymph transport for more than 3 months and frequently affects people as a consequence of breast cancer (BC). ULLy is often unde...
