Introduction Muscle synergies have been proposed as a strategy employed by the central
nervous system to control movements. Muscle synergy analysis is a well-established …

Sensor-based assessments in medical practice and rehabilitation include the measurement
of physiological signals such as EEG, EMG, ECG, heart rate, and NIRS, and the recording of …

In certain neurological disorders such as stroke, the impairment of upper limb function
significantly impacts daily life quality and necessitates enhanced neurological control. This …

INTRODUCTION Upper limb impairment is a common consequence of stroke, significantly
affecting the quality of life and independence of survivors. This sco** review assesses the …

Synergies were demonstrated to exist in the kinematic, force and muscular domains, and
their task-specificity and subject-specificity was also highlighted in literature. Despite that, no …

The study of kinematic hand synergies through matrix decomposition techniques, such as
singular value decomposition, supports the theory that humans might control a subspace of …

Supporting the decision-making process for the production of a 3D-printed hand
exoskeleton within the Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0 paradigms brings new concepts of …

Featured Application Potential applications of the work include research and implementation
work on 3D-printed exoskeletons, especially for the upper limb. Abstract The article …

Background In the context of post-traumatic hand rehabilitation, stiffness of the hand joints
limits the range of motion (ROM), grip strength, and the possibility of performing simple …

Humans possess a unique ability to manipulate tools to help us navigate the world around
us. This ability is facilitated by the dexterity of our hands. However, millions lose this …
