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

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 ...

Mitophagy Activation by Urolithin A to Target Muscle Aging

Davide D'Amico, Anurag Singh

The age-related loss of skeletal muscle function starts from midlife and if left unaddressed can lead to an impaired quality of life. A growing body of evidence indicates that mitochondrial dysfunction is causally involved with muscle aging. Muscles are ti ...

Improving hand prosthesis control with advanced single-finger proportional decoding and robotic shared control

Vincent Alexandre Mendez

Myoelectric prostheses allow users to recover lost functionality by controlling a robotic device with their remaining muscle activity. Commercial devices usually use a two-recording-channel system placed on specific muscles to control a single degree of fr ...

REM sleep and muscle atonia in brainstem stroke: A quantitative polysomnographic and lesion analysis study

Lukas Heydrich, Eva Blondiaux

Important brainstem regions are involved in the regulation of rapid eye movement sleep. We hypothesized that brainstem stroke is associated with dysregulated rapid eye movement sleep and related muscle activity. We compared quantitative/qualitative polysom ...

Molecular Regulation of Muscle Stem Cell Fate during Skeletal Muscle Regeneration and Aging

Sara Ancel

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs) are the primary source of myogenic progenitors during muscle repair and are essential for the long-term regenerative capacity of skeletal muscle. Following myofiber injury, MuSCs transition from a quiescent to an activated state, ...

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 ...

Towards an Adaptive Upper Limb Rehabilitation Game with Tangible Robots

Pierre Dillenbourg, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Wafa Monia Benkaouar Johal, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Ayberk Özgür, Louis Pierre Faucon, Arzu Güneysu Özgür, Andéol Geoffroy Cadic-Melchior

A key feature of a successful game is its ability to provide the player with an adequate level of challenge. However, the objective of difficulty adaptation in serious games is not only to maintain the player’s motivation by challenging, but also to ensure ...

Shared human–robot proportional control of a dexterous myoelectric prosthesis

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Vincent Alexandre Mendez, Fiorenzo Artoni, Francesco Maria Petrini, Nicolas Sommer, Edoardo D'Anna, Emanuele Formento, Saurav Aryan, Katie Zhi Zhuang

Myoelectric prostheses allow users to recover lost functionality by controlling a robotic device with their remaining muscle activity. Such commercial devices can give users a high level of autonomy, but still do not approach the dexterity of the intact hu ...

Role of MCT1 and CAII in skeletal muscle pH homeostasis, energetics, and function: in vivo insights from MCT1 haploinsufficient mice

Pierre Magistretti, Sylvain Eric Lengacher, Luc Pellerin

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a partial suppression of monocarboxylate transporter (MCT)-1 on skeletalmuscle pH, energetics, and function (MCT1(+/-) mice). Twenty-fourMCT1(+/-) and 13 wild-type (WT) mice were subjected to a re ...

Paracrine Activin-A Signaling Promotes Melanoma Growth and Metastasis through Immune Evasion

Daniel Constam, Susanna Eveliina Kallioinen, Olivier Andreas Dubey, Patrick Mueller

The secreted growth factor Activin-A of the transforming growth factor beta family and its receptors can promote or inhibit several cancer hallmarks including tumor cell proliferation and differentiation, vascularization, lymphangiogenesis and inflammation ...
