Various measures have been proposed to quantify upper-limb use through wrist-worn inertial measurement units. The two most popular traditional measures of upper-limb use - thresholded activity counts (TAC) and the gross movement (GM) score suffer fro...
Developing an electroencephalography (EEG)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) system is crucial to enhancing the control of external prostheses by accurately distinguishing various movements through brain signals. This innovation can provide comfor...
Normal aging often results in an increase in physiological tremors and slowing of the movement of the hands, which can impair daily activities and quality of life. This study, using lightweight wearable non-invasive sensors, aimed to detect and ident...
BACKGROUND: In the pursuit of finer Brain-Computer Interface commands, research focus has shifted towards classifying EEG signals for multiple tasks. While single-joint multitasking motor imagery provides support, distinguishing between EEG signals f...
Nocturnal scratching substantially impairs the quality of life in individuals with skin conditions such as atopic dermatitis (AD). Current clinical measurements of scratch rely on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) on itch over the last 24 h. Such meas...

BACKGROUND: Accurately estimating the 6D pose of snake-like wrist-type surgical instruments is challenging due to their complex kinematics and flexible design.
Tai Chi is a Chinese martial art that provides an adaptive and accessible exercise for older adults with varying functional capacity. While Tai Chi is widely recommended for its physical benefits, wider adoption in at-home practice presents challenge...
