Astronauts experience post-flight disturbances in postural and locomotor control due to
sensorimotor adaptations during spaceflight. These alterations may have adverse …

Biological and robotic grasp and manipulation are undeniably similar at the level of
mechanical task performance. However, their underlying fundamental biological vs …

During force production, hand muscle activity is known to be coherent with activity in primary
motor cortex, specifically in the beta-band (15–30 Hz) frequency range. It is not clear …

Several models have been employed to study human postural control during upright quiet
stance. Most have adopted an inverted pendulum approximation to the standing human and …

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the capacity of an expanded set of force
steadiness tasks to explain the variance in the time it takes young men and women to …

Feedback delays are a major challenge for any controlled process, and yet we are able to
easily control limb movements with speed and grace. A popular hypothesis suggests that the …

Background The progression of dementia, which impairs motor skills and cognitive function,
is a warning of greater disability. The present study investigated the association between …

We present an approach to overcoming challenges in dynamical dexterity for robots through
programmably compliant origami mechanisms. Our work leverages a one-parameter family …

ABSTRACT Suzumura S, Osawa A, Nagahama T, Kondo I, Sano Y, Kandori A. Assessment
of finger motor skills in individuals with mild cognitive impairment and patients with …

Aim We have developed a smart terminal device for screening finger function, and
investigated the capability of this tool for detecting abnormalities of finger dexterity. Methods …
