The role of the hand is crucial for the performance of activities of daily living, thereby
ensuring a full and autonomous life. Its motion is controlled by a complex musculoskeletal …

Linking hand kinematics and forearm muscle activity is a challenging and crucial problem for
several domains, such as prosthetics, 3D modelling or rehabilitation. To advance in this …

Evidence suggests that the sense of the position of our body parts can be surreptitiously
deceived, for instance through illusory visual inputs. However, whether altered visual …

Commercially available electrodes can only provide quality surface electromyography
(sEMG) measurements for a limited duration due to user discomfort and signal degradation …

A robust myoelectric control system (MCS) is essential for the design of electromyography
(EMG) based human–machine interface (HMI) designs such as prosthetics, exoskeleton …

The unique anatomy of the shoulder allows for expansive mobility but also sometimes
precarious stability. It has long been suggested that stretch-sensitive reflexes contribute to …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the position where the most activated and
isolated individual muscles were. In the next steps, the selected limb positions will be used …

Some individuals extend the three ulnar fingers when performing a precision pinch. The aim
of the present study was to investigate the mechanisms and effect of the extension of the …

Research in pattern recognition (PR) for myoelectric control of the upper limb prostheses
has been extensive. However, there has been limited attention to the factors that influence …

Virtual reality (VR) is an appealing approach for increasing the engagement and attention of
patients during rehabilitation. Understanding how motor control changes in real vs. virtual …
