Cardiac monitoring can be performed by means of an accelerometer attached to a subject's
chest, which produces the Seismocardiography (SCG) signal. Detection of SCG heartbeats …

Voluntary hand movements are usually impaired after a cerebral stroke, affecting millions of
people per year worldwide. Recently, the use of hand exoskeletons for assistance and motor …

Pulse waves (PWs) are mechanical waves that propagate from the ventricles through the
whole vascular system as brisk enlargements of the blood vessels' lumens, caused by …

Cardio-mechanical monitoring techniques, such as Seismocardiography (SCG) and
Gyrocardiography (GCG), have received an ever-growing interest in recent years as …

Forcecardiography (FCG) is a novel technique that measures the local forces induced on the
chest wall by the mechanical activity of the heart. Specific piezoresistive or piezoelectric …

Forcecardiography (FCG) is a novel technique that records the weak forces induced on the
