This report details the design and development of a compact high-voltage functional electrical stimulation (FES) device. Unlike conventional FES systems, the proposed design prioritizes user comfort by leveraging rapid switching times to…
Objective: Muscle contractions are commonly detected by performing EMG measurements. The major disadvantage of this technique is that mechanical disturbances to the electrodes are in the same frequency and magnitude range as the desired…
Human movement disorders or paralysis lead to the loss of control of muscle activation and thus motor control. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) is an established and safe technique for contracting muscles by stimulating the skin…
Electromyography (EMG) is a way of measuring the bioelectric activities that take place inside the muscles. EMG is usually performed to detect abnormalities within the nerves or muscles of a target area. The recent developments in the field…
Intracellular processes triggered by neural activity include changes in ionic concentrations, protein release, and synaptic vesicle cycling. These processes play significant roles in neurological disorders. The beneficial effects of brain…
Haptic feedback is critical in a broad range of human-machine/computer-interaction applications. However, the high cost and low portability/wearability of haptic devices remain unresolved issues, severely limiting the adoption of this…
The creation of unique control methods for a hand prosthesis is still a problem that has to be addressed. The best choice of a human-machine interface (HMI) that should be used to enable natural control is still a challenge. Surface…
