Non-invasive spinal cord electrical stimulation for arm and hand function in chronic tetraplegia: a safety and efficacy trial
Grégoire Courtine, Jordan Squair, Markus Maximilian Rieger
Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to permanent impairment of arm and hand functions. Here we conducted a prospective, single-arm, multicenter, open-label, non-significant risk trial that evaluated the safety and efficacy of ARCEX Therapy to improve a ...
Nature Portfolio2024Enhancing our understanding of human fine manipulation skills and advancing robot dexterity in grasping
From surgery to watchmaking, fine-manipulation skills highly rely on the dexterity afforded by both hands. Coordination is key to human dexterity. Specifically, humans need not only to govern the abundant intrinsic degrees of freedom (DOFs) to allocate con ...
EPFL2022Beyond Soft Hands: Efficient Grasping With Non-Anthropomorphic Soft Grippers
Grasping and manipulation are challenging tasks that are nonetheless critical for many robotic systems and applications. A century ago, robots were conceived as humanoid automata. While conceptual at the time, this viewpoint remains influential today. Many ...
FRONTIERS MEDIA SA2021A Dexterous Soft Robotic Hand for Delicate In-Hand Manipulation
In this letter, we show that soft robotic hands provide a robust means of performing basic primitives of in-hand manipulation in the presence of uncertainty. We first discuss the design of a prototype hand with dexterous soft fingers capable of moving obje ...
IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC2020Age-Dependent Asymmetry of Wrist Position Sense Is Not Influenced by Stochastic Tactile Stimulation
Jamie Paik, Olivier Lambercy, Harshal Arun Sonar
Stochastic stimulation has been shown to improve movement, balance, the sense of touch, and may also improve position sense. This stimulation can be non-invasive and may be a simple technology to enhance proprioception. In this study, we investigated wheth ...
2020Steerable device and system
Philippe Renaud, Guillaume Cédric Yves Petitpierre
A steerable device for use as e.g. a guidewire for insertion into a subject's body is disclosed. The device features a single side deflection of a bendable portion located at its distal end by application of a longitudinally-directed force either on an inn ...
2019Functional imaging of rostrocaudal spinal activity during upper limb motor tasks
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Elvira Pirondini, Nawal Noëlle Kinany, Roberto Martuzzi
The spinal cord is the main interface between the brain and the periphery. It notably plays a central role in motor control, as spinal motoneurons activate skeletal muscles involved in voluntary movements. Yet, the spinal mechanisms underlying human moveme ...
