Resistive flex sensors can be used to measure bending or flexing with relatively little effort
and a relatively low budget. Their lightness, compactness, robustness, measurement …

The development of dynamic hand orthoses is a fast-growing field of research and has
resulted in many different devices. A large and diverse solution space is formed by the …

Recovery of functional hand movements after stroke is directly linked to rehabilitation
duration and intensity. Continued therapy at home has the potential to increase both. For …

While construction is a major contributor to the US economy, it is reported that construction
