Motion Plan Changes Predictably in Dyadic Reaching.

PloS one
Parents can effortlessly assist their child to walk, but the mechanism behind such physical coordination is still unknown. Studies have suggested that physical coordination is achieved by interacting humans who update their movement or motion plan in...

Artificial neural network EMG classifier for functional hand grasp movements prediction.

The Journal of international medical research
Objective To design and implement an electromyography (EMG)-based controller for a hand robotic assistive device, which is able to classify the user's motion intention before the effective kinematic movement execution. Methods Multiple degrees-of-fre...

Robot-Aided Mapping of Wrist Proprioceptive Acuity across a 3D Workspace.

PloS one
Proprioceptive signals from peripheral mechanoreceptors form the basis for bodily perception and are known to be essential for motor control. However we still have an incomplete understanding of how proprioception differs between joints, whether it d...

A novel 4-DOF surgical instrument with modular joints and 6-Axis Force sensing capability.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: It is difficult for surgeons to exert appropriate forces during delicate operations due to lack of force feedback in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (RMIS). A 4-DOF surgical grasper with a modular wrist and 6-axis force sensing ...

Feasibility study into self-administered training at home using an arm and hand device with motivational gaming environment in chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Assistive and robotic training devices are increasingly used for rehabilitation of the hemiparetic arm after stroke, although applications for the wrist and hand are trailing behind. Furthermore, applying a training device in domestic set...

What automated age estimation of hand and wrist MRI data tells us about skeletal maturation in male adolescents.

Annals of human biology
BACKGROUND: Age estimation of individuals is important in human biology and has various medical and forensic applications. Recent interest in MR-based methods aims to investigate alternatives for established methods involving ionising radiation. Auto...

Predicting physical functioning status in older adults: insights from wrist accelerometer sensors and derived digital biomarkers of physical activity.

Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association : JAMIA
OBJECTIVE: Conventional physical activity (PA) metrics derived from wearable sensors may not capture the cumulative, transitions from sedentary to active, and multidimensional patterns of PA, limiting the ability to predict physical function impairme...

Remote Motor Rehabilitation: EMG-IMU based Deep Learning Model Improves the Estimate of Wrist Kinematics.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Technology for motor rehabilitation faces challenges in uncontrolled settings, such as at home. In these real-world scenarios, robust signals like electromyographic (EMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data are crucial for decoding continuous hu...

Robotically adjustable kinematics in a wrist-driven orthosis eases grasping across tasks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Without finger function, people with C5-7 spinal cord injury (SCI) regularly utilize wrist extension to passively close the fingers and thumb together for grasping. Wearable assistive grasping devices often focus on this familiar wrist-driven techniq...
