Advances in soft materials, miniaturized electronics, sensors, stimulators, radios, and battery-
free power supplies are resulting in a new generation of fully implantable organ interfaces …

Background Single camera markerless motion capture has the potential to facilitate at home
movement assessment due to the ease of setup, portability, and affordable cost of the …

The complexity of shoulder mechanics combined with the movement of skin relative to the
scapula makes it difficult to measure shoulder kinematics with sufficient accuracy to …

Human gait analysis is a complex problem in biomechanics because of highly nonlinear
human motion equations, muscle dynamics, and foot-ground contact. Despite a large …

Musculoskeletal models enable movement scientists to examine muscle function by
computing the mechanical work done by muscles during motor tasks. To estimate muscle …

To provide an effective and safe therapy to persons with neurological impairments, accurate
determination of their residual volitional ability is required. However, accurate measurement …

The complexity of the human shoulder girdle enables the large mobility of the upper
extremity, but also introduces instability of the glenohumeral (GH) joint. Shoulder …

Objective: Reliable measurement of voluntary human effort is essential for effective and safe
interaction between the wearer and an assistive robot. Existing voluntary effort prediction …

Introduction: Multiple different mathematical models have been developed to represent
muscle force, to represent multiple muscles in the musculoskeletal system, and to represent …

Individuals with hand amputation suffer substantial loss of independence. Performance of
sophisticated prostheses is limited by the ability to control them. To achieve natural and …
