Early decoding of walking tasks with minimal set of EMG channels

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite, Federica Barberi, Eugenio Anselmino

Objective. Powered lower-limb prostheses relying on decoding motor intentions from non-invasive sensors, like electromyographic (EMG) signals, can significantly improve the quality of life of amputee subjects. However, the optimal combination of high decod ...

A Novel 3D-Printed/Porous Conduit with Tunable Properties to Enhance Nerve Regeneration Over the Limiting Gap Length

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite

Engineered grafts constitute an alternative to autologous transplant for repairing severe peripheral nerve injuries. However, current clinically available solutions have substantial limitations and are not suited for the repair of long nerve defects. A nov ...

Wearable High-Density MXene-Bioelectronics for Neuromuscular Diagnostics, Rehabilitation, and Assistive Technologies

Silvestro Micera, Francesco Iberite, Eugenio Anselmino

High-density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) allows noninvasive muscle monitoring and disease diagnosis. Clinical translation of current HDsEMG technologies is hampered by cost, limited scalability, low usability, and minimal spatial coverage. Here, this ...

Current Solutions and Future Trends for Robotic Prosthetic Hands

Silvestro Micera, Solaiman Shokur, Vincent Alexandre Mendez, Francesco Iberite

The desire for functional replacement of a missing hand is an ancient one. Historically, humans have replaced a missing limb with a prosthesis for cosmetic, vocational, or personal autonomy reasons. The hand is a powerful tool, and its loss causes severe p ...

Cortical plasticity after hand prostheses use: Is the hypothesis of deafferented cortex "invasion" always true?

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Iberite

Objective: To study motor cortex plasticity after a period of training with a new prototype of bidirectional hand prosthesis in three left trans-radial amputees, correlating these changes with the modification of Phantom Limb Pain (PLP) in the same period. ...

Brain reactions to the use of sensorized hand prosthesis in amputees

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Giacomo Valle, Fabrizio Vecchio, Francesco Iberite

Objective We investigated for the first time the presence of chronic changes in the functional organization of sensorimotor brain areas induced by prolonged training with a bidirectional hand prosthesis. Methods A multimodal neurophysiological and neuroima ...
