Background The inability of users to directly and intuitively control their state-of-the-art
commercial prosthesis contributes to a low device acceptance rate. Since Electromyography …

Purpose Rehabilitation robots with intent recognition are helping people with dysfunction to
enjoy better lives. Many rehabilitation robots with intent recognition have been developed by …

Objective. While prosthetic hands with independently actuated digits have become
commercially available, state-of-the-art human-machine interfaces (HMI) only permit control …

A hallmark of human locomotion is that it continuously adapts to changes in the environment
and predictively adjusts to changes in the terrain, both of which are major challenges to …

Objective: Current limitations in Electromyography (EMG)-driven Neuromusculoskeletal
(NMS) modeling for control of wearable robotics are the requirement of both Motion Capture …

An ideal prosthesis should perform as well as or better than the missing limb it was designed
to replace. Although this ideal is currently unattainable, recent advances in design have …

Traumatic injuries, vascular deficiencies, or complications from diabetes can lead to
amputation of the lower extremities of an individual. Depending on the severity, amputation …

Background The study of the regulatory mechanisms of evolutionarily conserved Nucleotide-
binding leucine-rich repeat (NLR) resistance (R) proteins in animals and plants is of …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to design a prosthetic limb that is close to the motion
characteristics of the normal human ankle joint. Methods In this study, combined with gait …

Background Between-limb step length asymmetry is common following transtibial
amputation (TTA) and contributes to negative health consequences. There are limited …
