Computer-Vision-Based Clinical Assessment of Upper Extremity Function

Clinical assessment of upper extremity function typically relies on subjective evaluation of movement quality and/or time spent to complete a given task. This is neither objective nor sensitive enough for subtle changes related to patient progression. Some systems use motion analysis with skeletal tracking software. However, these systems do not perform...

Soft Robotic Haptic Interface for Rehabilitation of Sensorimotor Hand Function

Complex sensorimotor functions in the hand, such as proprioception and neuromuscular control, can be impaired by musculoskeletal disorders, neurological diseases and traumatic injuries. Traditional rehabilitation has shown to be effective at restoring some function back to an impaired hand, however, plasticity of the central nervous system to relearn...

Platform for Assessing and Enhancing Sensorimotor Learning

Humans respond to sensory information by producing a useful motor action, such as manipulating or avoiding an object, interacting socially, kicking a ball, and so on. EEG is an easy to use and noninvasive tool that can be utilized to assess sensorimotor responses. Using EEG, it has been found that the rate at which humans learn and adjust their movements...

2-DoF Wearable Fingertip Cutaneous Display

Wearability opens up a whole new world of opportunities in haptic systems for novel communication forms and interactions with the external environment. Wearable fingertip haptic systems are particularly interesting as they offer a natural interface to one of the most fundamental senses, touch. There are several types of cutaneous fingertip devices which...

Controllable Guide-wire

Guidewires are used to navigate tortuous vessel anatomy and provide a stable guiding structure along which a catheter is advanced to its target within the body. Current guidewires come in a variety of stiffness for different applications; low stiffness wires enable easier steering and navigation and high stiffness wires enable stable catheter delivery...

Device for Perfect Posture Training

Your posture is an important factor in proper and comfortable walking and can result in easier breathing and less back pain. It is also paramount in rehabilitation, especially for patients suffering from neural trauma. Having good posture does not come easily though, and training the body to walk properly (whether it is for pain relief or rehabilitation)...

Methods to prevent repetitive strain injuries in endoscopists

Repetitive strain injury (RSI), associated with repetitive physical activities in the workplace, is a common injury for endoscopists. RSI can not only lead to long term disability, resulting in an inability to work, but it could potentially lead to impaired sensorimotor function and loss of dexterity in endoscopy maneuvers, which could result in injury...
