Stable Myoelectric Control of a Hand Prosthesis using Non-Linear Incremental Learning

Stable myoelectric control of hand prostheses remains an open problem. The only successful human–machine interface is surface electromyography, typically allowing control of a few degrees of freedom. Machine learning techniques may have the potential to re ...

Investigation of Polymer Thick-film Piezoresistors for Medical Wrist Rehabilitation and Artificial Knee Load Sensors

Peter Ryser, Eric Meurville, Thomas Maeder, Caroline Jacq, Matteo Simoncini, Simon Emery

Readily-available and low-cost commercial polymer-based composite materials, such as standard epoxy-fibreglass printed circuit board (PCB) substrates and resin-carbon thick-film piezoresistors, were evaluated as a solution for medical force sensors, such a ...

Does an intraneural interface short-term implant for robotic hand control modulate sensorimotor cortical integration? An EEG-TMS co-registration study on a human amputee

Silvestro Micera, Leopoldo Rossini

Purpose: Following limb amputation, central and peripheral nervous system relays partially maintain their functions and can be exploited for interfacing prostheses. The aim of this study is to investigate, for the first time by means of an EEG-TMS co-regis ...

Design and integration of an instrumented knee prosthesis

Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is nowadays one of the most important orthopedic surgery. It consists of a procedure in which parts of the knee are replaced by a prosthesis. The largest indication for total knee arthroplasty is osteoarthritis, a knee disease that ...

Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Peter Ryser, Arnaud Bertsch, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...

A survey of sensor fusion methods in wearable robotics

Modern wearable robots are not yet intelligent enough to fully satisfy the demands of endusers, as they lack the sensor fusion algorithms needed to provide optimal assistance and react quickly to perturbations or changes in user intentions. Sensor fusion a ...

Data fusion for a hand prosthesis tactile feedback system

Christian Enz, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz, Ozan Unsal

Current myoelectrically controlled hand prostheses normally lack tactile feedback, thus limiting their functionalities and user acceptance. We propose a non-invasive tactile sensory feedback system, consisting miniaturized sensors, wireless communication m ...

The Movement Error Rate for Evaluation of Machine Learning Methods for sEMG-based Hand Movement Classification

Barbara Caputo

There has been increasing interest in applying learning algorithms to improve the dexterity of myoelectric prostheses. In this work, we present a large-scale benchmark evaluation on the second iteration of the publicly released NinaPro database, which cont ...

Outcome of Unilateral Ankle Arthrodesis and Total Ankle Replacement in Terms of Bilateral Gait Mechanics, Journal of Orthopaedic Research, in Press

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani

Previous studies assessed the outcome of ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement (TAR) surgeries; however, the extent of postoperative recovery towards bilateral gait mechanics (BGM) is unknown. We evaluated the outcome of the two surgeries at l ...

The effect of arm weight support on upper limb muscle synergies during reaching movements

Silvestro Micera, Martina Coscia

Background: Compensating for the effect of gravity by providing arm-weight support (WS) is a technique often utilized in the rehabilitation of patients with neurological conditions such as stroke to facilitate the performance of arm movements during therap ...
