Accelerometry as a tool for measuring the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation

Pierre Theopistos Vassiliadis, Julie Duqué

Objective: We predicted that accelerometry would be a viable alternative to electromyography (EMG) for assessing fundamental Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) measurements (e.g. Resting Motor Threshold (RMT), recruitment curves, latencies). New Metho ...

Comparison of the ALPS and PHILOS plating systems in proximal humeral fracture fixation - a retrospective study

Alexandre Terrier, Frédéric Vauclair, Antoine Dewarrat

BackgroundOpen reduction and plate osteosynthesis are considered as a successful technique for the treatment of proximal humerus fracture (PHF) despite high complication rates. The objective of our study was to review the clinical outcome and complications ...

Intrinsic fracture behavior of Mg-Y alloys

William Curtin, Eleanor Yi Kei Mak

Pure magnesium (Mg) is an attractive metal for structural applications due to its low density, but also has low ductility and low fracture toughness. Dilute alloying of Mg with rare earth elements in small amounts improves the ductility, but the effects of ...

Expertise-Related Differences in Wrist Muscle Co-contraction in Drummers

Steffen Alexander Herff

Background and Aim:Drumming requires excellent motor control and temporal coordination. Deploying specific muscle activation patterns may help achieve these requirements. Muscle activation patterns that involve reciprocal contraction of antagonist muscles ...

Detection of movement onset using EMG signals for upper-limb exoskeletons in reaching tasks

Silvestro Micera

BackgroundTo assist people with disabilities, exoskeletons must be provided with human-robot interfaces and smart algorithms capable to identify the user's movement intentions. Surface electromyographic (sEMG) signals could be suitable for this purpose, bu ...

Six-Month Assessment of a Hand Prosthesis with Intraneural Tactile Feedback

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Edoardo D'Anna

Objective Hand amputation is a highly disabling event, which significantly affects quality of life. An effective hand replacement can be achieved if the user, in addition to motor functions, is provided with the sensations that are naturally perceived whil ...

Use-Dependent Plasticity in Human Primary Motor Hand Area: Synergistic Interplay Between Training and Immobilization

Estelle Emeline Raffin

Training and immobilization are powerful drivers of use-dependent plasticity in human primary motor hand area (M1HAND). In young right-handed volunteers, corticomotor representations of the left first dorsal interosseus and abductor digiti minimi muscles w ...

Rationalizing the In Vivo Degradation of Metal-on-Metal Artificial Hip Joints Using Tribocorrosion Concepts

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

In this study, the in vivo degradation of metal-on-metal (MoM) artificial hip joints was assessed based on the present state of the art concepts of tribocorrosion. A recently developed tribocorrosion model, based on the combination of mechanical and corros ...
