Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN) has been widely investigated to decode human intentions using surface Electromyography (sEMG) signals. However, a pre-trained CNN model usually suffers from severe degradation when testing on a new individ...
Recording human gestures from a wearable sensor produces valuable information to implement control gestures or in healthcare services. The wearable sensor is required to be small and easily worn. Advances in miniaturized sensor and materials research...
Proprioceptive training is a neurorehabilitation approach known to improve proprioceptive acuity and motor performance of a joint/limb system. Here, we examined if such learning transfers to the contralateral joints. Using a robotic exoskeleton, 15 h...
Nerve area and motion in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) are currently under investigation in terms of prognostic potential. Therefore, there is increasing interest in non-invasive measurement of the nerve using ultrasound. Manual segmentation is time c...
