Recently there have been major advances in the electro-mechanical design of upper
extremity prosthetics. However, the development of control strategies for such prosthetics …

Aims The objective of this study was to test the accuracy and diagnostic interchangeability of
tissue Doppler-based displacement, velocity, strain, and strain rate measurements in …

About 40% of traumatic injuries in sports are related to the knee. Of these, 33% require
arthroscopic surgery. The rehabilitative ultrasound imaging technique is a simple method to …

Tendon jerk (TJ) is one of the most commonly used clinical tests in differential diagnosis of
human motor disorders. There remains some ambiguity in the physiological interpretation of …

Physicians typically measure deep tendon reflexes visually, leading to ambiguity and
disagreement over exact reflex classification. Millimeter-wave radar addresses this problem …

Ultrasound is an attractive modality for imaging muscle and tendon motion during dynamic
tasks and can provide a complementary methodological approach for biomechanical studies …

Our purpose was to examine the effects of body position and a low-intensity voluntary
contraction on patellar tendon tap reflex properties. Surface electromyography, torque, and …

We have developed a vector Doppler ultrasound imaging method to directly quantify the
magnitude and direction of muscle and tendon velocities during movement. The goal of this …

We have developed an office based vector tissue Doppler imaging (vTDI) that can be used
to quantitatively measure muscle kinematics using ultrasound. The goal of this preliminary …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is the condition where renal function declines or renal
structure is damaged. The disease has five stages of severity, where the final stage is known …
