Evaluation of antigravitational support levels provided by a passive upper-limb occupational exoskeleton in repetitive arm movements

Giulia Ramella

Upper-limb occupational exoskeletons to support the workers' upper arms are typically designed to provide antigravitational support. Although typical work activities require workers to perform static and dynamic actions, the majority of the studies in lite ...

Modelisation of fiber reinforced DEAs

Arnaud Sansonnens

The aim of this "Face Reconstruction" project is to enable people with paralysis in one half of their face to recover facial expressions. To do this, we’ll replace the paralyzed muscle with an DEA which we’ll connect to the nerve on the other side of the f ...

3D printed fiber-optic nanomechanical bioprobe

Sandor Kasas, Jiangtao Zhou, Yiping Wang, Yuguang Chen

Ultrasensitive nanomechanical instruments, e.g. atomic force microscopy (AFM), can be used to perform delicate biomechanical measurements and reveal the complex mechanical environment of biological processes. However, these instruments are limited because ...

CO-REGULATION OF ENDOTHELIAL AND MYOGENIC CELL FATES THROUGH INTERCELLULAR CROSSTALK IN SKELETAL MUSCLE

Umji Lee

Skeletal muscle is one of the most dynamic organs in the human body, which has a vigorous potential to regenerate and adapt to environmental changes. Depending on environments, skeletal muscle enables essential life activities to survive by controlling mov ...
