Approximately 1.1. billion people worldwide live with some form of disability, and assistive
technology has the potential to increase their overall quality of life. However, the end users' …

Background Enhancing the quality of life of people with a lower limb amputation is critical in
prosthetic development and rehabilitation. Yet, no overview is available concerning the …

Objective. Extracting signals directly from the motor system poses challenges in obtaining
both high amplitude and sustainable signals for upper-limb neuroprosthetic control. To …

In this study, a minimal setup for the ankle joint kinematics estimation is proposed relying
only on proximal information of the lower-limb, ie thigh muscles activity and joint kinematics …

Prostheses provide a means for individuals with amputations to regain some of the lost
functions of their amputated limb. Human-machine interfaces (HMIs), used for controlling …

Introduction A key determinant of prosthesis use is the quality of fit of the prosthetic socket.
The socket surrounds the residual limb and applies the appropriate force distribution to the …

Background Traumatic amputation leads to disability and imposes a heavy health burden.
This study aims to explore the current status and temporal trends of the global burden of …

Proprioception plays a key role in moving our body dexterously and effortlessly.
Nevertheless, the majority of investigations evaluating the benefits of providing …

The brain is a unique organ that performs multiple processes simultaneously, such as
sensory, motor, and cognitive function. However, several neurological diseases (ataxia …

Researchers are currently making progress in unifying the entire gait cycle of powered
