Functional upper-limb prosthetic training can improve users performance in controlling prostheses and has been incorporated into occupational therapy for individuals in need. In recent years, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR)…
Previous research has shown that the effective use of inertial motion (i.e., less or no torque input at the knee joint) plays an important role in achieving a smooth gait of transfemoral prostheses in the swing phase. In our previous…
Capacitive pressure sensors have several advantages in areas such as robotics, automation, aerospace, biomedical and consumer electronics. We present mathematical modelling, finite element analysis (FEA), fabrication and experimental…
According to the World Health Organization, over 466 million people worldwide suffer from disabling hearing loss, with approximately 34 million of these being children. Hearing aids (HA) and cochlear implants (CI) have become indispensable…
The goal of this project is to create an inexpensive, lightweight, wearable assistive device that can measure hand or finger movements accurately enough to identify a range of hand gestures. One eventual application is to provide assistive…
We present mathematical models, computational algorithms and software, which can be used for prediction of results of prosthetic treatment. More interest issue is biomechanics of the periodontal complex because any prosthesis is accompanied…
Assistive devices for indivuals with upper-limb movement often lack controllability and intuitiveness, in particular for grasping function. In this work, we introduce a novel user interface for grasping movement control in which the user…
Forensic mental health care involves the treatment of individuals with severe mental disorders who have committed violent offences. These settings are often characterized by high levels of bureaucracy, risk avoidance, and restricted…
Wearable robotic hand rehabilitation devices can allow greater freedom and flexibility than their workstation-like counterparts. However, the field is generally lacking effective methods by which the user can operate the device: such…
Mechanical compliance is a key design parameter for dynamic contact-rich manipulation, affecting task success and safety robustness over contact geometry variation. Design of soft robotic structures, such as compliant fingers, requires…
3D modeling is becoming a well-developed field of medicine, but its applicability can be limited due to the lack of software allowing for easy utilizations of generated 3D visualizations. By leveraging recent advances in virtual reality, we…
With the growing popularity of robotic surgery, education becomes increasingly important and urgently needed for the sake of patient safety. However, experienced surgeons have limited accessibility due to their busy clinical schedule or…
People feel attached to places that are meaningful to them, which psychological research calls "place attachment." Place attachment is associated with self-identity, self-continuity, and psychological well-being. Even small cues, including…
BACKGROUND: Proptosis is characterized by a protrusion of the eyeball due to an increase of the orbital tissue volume. To recover a normal eyeball positioning, the most frequent surgical technique consists in the osteotomy of orbital walls…
The instability of myoelectric signals over time complicates their use to control highly articulated prostheses. To address this problem, studies have tried to combine surface electromyography with modalities that are less affected by the…
Despite living in an increasingly connected world, social isolation is a prevalent issue today. While social robots have been explored as tools to enhance social connection through companionship, their potential as asynchronous social…
Powered ankle-foot prostheses can often reduce the energy cost of walking by assisting with push-off. However, focus on providing mechanical work may lead to ignoring or exacerbating common issues with chronic pain, irritation, pressure…
A major limitation to advances in fingerprint spoof detection is the lack of publicly available, large-scale fingerprint spoof datasets, a problem which has been compounded by increased concerns surrounding privacy and security of biometric…
This study proposes a reinforcement learning-based adaptive running motion simulation for a unilateral transtibial amputee with the flexibility of a leaf-spring-type sports prosthesis using hybrid-link system. The design and selection of…
Physical therapy (PT) plays a crucial role in muscle injury recovery, but people struggle to adhere to and perform PT exercises correctly from home. To support challenges faced with in-home PT, augmented reality (AR) holds promise in…
