Purpose: From the myofibrils to the whole muscle scale, muscle micro-constituents exhibit passive and active mechanical properties, potentially coupled to electrical, chemical, and thermal properties. Experimental characterization of some…
Injuries to the lower extremity joints are often debilitating, particularly for professional athletes. Understanding the onset of stressful conditions on these joints is therefore important in order to ensure prevention of injuries as well…
Accurate force/torque estimation is essential for applications such as powered exoskeletons, robotics, and rehabilitation. However, force/torque estimation under dynamic conditions is a challenging due to changing joint angles, force…
The aim of the present study was to assess the effects of plantar-flexor muscles fatigue on postural control during quiet standing under normal, altered and improved vestibular and neck somatosensory conditions. To address this objective,…
The study shows a potential to monitor functional recovery of a muscle by its natural frequency measurement. A novel approach is presented, in which vibrations of the muscle of interest are measured in a contactless manner using laser…
Driver fatigue is a major cause of traffic accidents and the electroencephalogram (EEG) is considered one of the most reliable predictors of fatigue. This paper proposes a novel, simple and fast method for driver fatigue detection that can…
Injuries to the knee joint are very common for long-distance and frequent runners, an issue which is often attributed to fatigue. We address the problem of fatigue detection from biomechanical data from different sources, consisting of…
Objective: Often, people with Subjective Cognitive Impairment (SCI), Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) and dementia are underwent to Electroencephalography (EEG) in order to evaluate through biological indexes the functional connectivity…
Daily life of thousands of individuals around the globe suffers due to physical or mental disability related to limb movement. The quality of life for such individuals can be made better by use of assistive applications and systems. In such…
The needle bio-potential sensors for measuring muscle and brain activity need invasive surgical targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR) and a demanding process to maintain, but surface bio-potential sensors lack clear bio-signal reading…
We present PiMForce, a novel framework that enhances hand pressure estimation by leveraging 3D hand posture information to augment forearm surface electromyography (sEMG) signals. Our approach utilizes detailed spatial information from 3D…
Aging and chronic conditions affect older adults' daily lives, making the early detection of developing health issues crucial. Weakness, which is common across many conditions, can subtly alter physical movements and daily activities.…
Active arterial mechanics, governed by vascular smooth muscle contraction, are critical to physiological regulation, cardiovascular disease progression, and clinical diagnosis. Although various in vivo methods have been developed to assess…
