The present invention relates to a neuromodulation/neurostimulation system (10) for the treatment of spasticity in a mammal, said system (10) comprising: - at least one control unit (12) configured and arranged to provide stimulation data, and - at least o ...
2024Filiform Variable Stiffness Technologies for Medical Robotics
In recent years, soft robotics has surged in applications like wearables, drones, smart fabrics, and medical instruments. Due to their compliance, these devices excel in tasks demanding dexterity and adaptability, such as manipulation, locomotion, crash re ...
EPFL2024Investigating the neuromechanical control of healthy gait modulation and pathological gaits observed in cerebral palsy using neuromuscular simulations
Locomotion is based on a sophisticated interaction among the environment, the musculoskeletal system, the spinal cord, and the brain locomotor areas. Quality of life is strongly related to the proper capability of this movement. However, many pathologies, ...
EPFL2023Understanding motor control and impairment: An upper-limb model for muscular assessment
The human upper limb is a complex musculoskeletal system that can still perform various tasks with impressive efficacy thanks to the ability of the central nervous system to control and modulate the activation of more than 40 muscles.Stroke is a leading ca ...
