Objective: Low back pain (LBP) is one of the leading neuromusculoskeletal (NMSK)
problems around the globe. Soft Tissue Manipulation (STM) is a force-based, non-invasive …

The structural integrity of an electro-mechanical assembly significantly determines the
robustness of the design and durability of a product. Handheld portable medical devices …

Surgical scene understanding in Robot-assisted Minimally Invasive Surgery (RMIS) is highly
reliant on visual cues and lacks tactile perception. Force-modulated surgical palpation with …

Instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) techniques use specialized hand-held
instruments for applying controlled mechanical forces to the body with the goal of facilitating …

Objective: Soft tissue manipulation is used widely to assess myofascial tissue qualitatively
but lacks objective measures. To quantify the mobility of myofascial tissue, this effort derives …

About half the US adult population suffers from chronic neuromusculoskeletal pain. While its
evaluation and treatment are widely addressed by therapies using soft tissue manipulation …

The advent of mobile ubiquitous computing enabled sensor informatics of human
movements to be used in modeling and building deep learning classifiers for cognitive AI …

Surgical Haptics is an emergent field of research to integrate and advance the sense of
