Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory and stress-induced activation of low-threshold motor units in the human trapezius muscle

TL;DR: It is speculated that the reduction in respiratory modulation of motor activity with mental stress is due to activation of alternative pathways providing excitatory input to trapezius motoneurons.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A robotic hand rehabilitation system with interactive gaming using novel Electro-Rheological Fluid based actuators

TL;DR: A newly developed hand rehabilitation system is presented that combines robotics and interactive gaming to facilitate repetitive performance of task specific exercises for patients recovering from neurological motor deficits.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A neural network approach to monitor motor activities

TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of surface electromyography (EMG) with accelerometry (ACC) was compared in the detection of functional motor activities in the home and relay that information to a remotely located caregiver.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cortical correlates in upright dynamic and static balance in the elderly

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the neurophysiological mechanisms underlying the control of static and dynamic balance in the elderly and found that the elderly showed higher activation over the anterior cortex and more diffused fast rhythms (i.e., alpha, beta, gamma) in younger participants during static balance tests.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

An advanced rehabilitation robotic system for augmenting healthcare

TL;DR: The design of RehaBot is a safe and robust system that can be run at a rehabilitation hospital under the direct monitoring and interactive supervision control and at a remote site via telepresence operation control.
