Individuals post stroke experience motor impairments, such as loss of independent joint control, leading to an overall reduction in arm function. Their motion becomes slower and more discoordinated, making it difficult to complete…
Gesture-based interfaces are often used to achieve a more natural and intuitive teleoperation of robots. Yet, sometimes, gesture control requires postures or movements that cause significant fatigue to the user. In a previous user study, we…
Proprioception is essential for coordinating human movements and enhancing the performance of assistive robotic devices. Skin stretch feedback, which closely aligns with natural proprioception mechanisms, presents a promising method for…
Portable active back support devices (BSDs) offer tunable assistance but are often bulky and heavy, limiting their usability. In contrast, passive BSDs are lightweight and compact but lack the ability to adapt their assistance to different…
The assessment and treatment of motor symptoms such as tremor in Parkinson's disease depends exclusively on the physician's visual observation of standardised movements (i.e. motor tasks). Wearable sensors such as accelerometers are able to…
The sit-to-stand movement is a key feature for wide adoption of powered lower limb orthoses for patients with complete paraplegia. In this paper we study the control of the ascending phase of the sit-to-stand movement for a minimally…
Recent improvements in additive manufacturing and high-throughput material synthesis have enabled the discovery of novel metallic materials for extreme environments. However, high-fidelity testing of advanced mechanical properties such as…
This paper presents the design, characterization and validation of a wearable haptic device able to convey skin stretch, force feedback, and a combination of both, to the user's arm. In this work, we carried out physical and perceptual…
Objective: Continuous monitoring of biosignals via wearable sensors has quickly expanded in the medical and wellness fields. At rest, automatic detection of vital parameters is generally accurate. However, in conditions such as…
The human shoulder, with its glenohumeral joint, tendons, ligaments, and muscles, allows for the execution of complex tasks with precision and efficiency. However, current robotic shoulder designs lack the compliance and compactness…
Clinical-grade wearable sleep monitoring is a challenging problem since it requires concurrently monitoring brain activity, eye movement, muscle activity, cardio-respiratory features and gross body movements. This requires multiple sensors…
Balance assessment during physical rehabilitation often relies on rubric-oriented battery tests to score a patient's physical capabilities, leading to subjectivity. While some objective balance assessments exist, they are often limited to…
The mechanical performance of reinforced composites is strongly influenced at different scales by the stress transferred at the matrix-fibre interfaces and at any surface where material discontinuity occurs. In particular, the mechanical…
Stress is various mental health disorders including depression and anxiety among college students. Early stress diagnosis and intervention may lower the risk of developing mental illnesses. We examined a machine learning-based method for…
Haptic feedback has been a long-missed feature in robotic-assisted surgery, one that would allow surgeons to perceive tissue properties and apply controlled forces during delicate procedures. Although commercial robotic systems have begun…
Recent advances in medical diagnostics have highlighted the importance of wearable technologies for continuous and real-time physiological monitoring. In this study, we introduce a flexible, self-powered triboelectric nanogenerator…
Wearable devices have revolutionized healthcare monitoring, allowing us to track physiological conditions without disrupting daily routines. Whereas monitoring physical health and physical activities have been widely studied, their…
Timely stress detection is crucial for protecting vulnerable groups from long-term detrimental effects by enabling early intervention. Wearable devices, by collecting real-time physiological signals, offer a solution for accurate stress…
Behavioral control over stressful stimuli induces resilience to future conditions when control is lacking. The medial prefrontal cortex(mPFC) is a critically important brain region required for plasticity of stress resilience. We found that…
Introduction. The stress response has both subjective, psychological and objectively measurable, biological components. Both of them can be expressed differently from person to person, complicating the development of a generic stress…
