Sonographic Imaging of the Superficial Radial Nerve and its Branches: A Pictorial Review
ABSTRACT Entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN) can be a source of radial wrist, dorsal hand, and thumb pain which can be challenging to clinically differentiate from other pathological entities. Ultrasound allows direct visualization of the SRN and its branches as well as the assessment of the site, extent, and type of nerve injury or ...

Rehabilitation exoskeleton system with bidirectional virtual reality feedback training strategy
Abstract Virtual reality (VR) technology revitalises rehabilitation training by creating rich, interactive virtual rehabilitation scenes and tasks that deeply engage patients. Robotics with immersive VR environments have the potential to significantly enhance the sense of immersion for patients during training.

A Wearable Strain-Sensor-Based Shoulder Patch for Fatigue Detection in Bicep Curls [PDF]
A common challenge in home-based rehabilitation is muscle compensation induced by pain or fatigue, where patients with weakened primary muscles recruit secondary muscle groups to assist their movement, causing issues such as delayed rehabilitation progress or risk of further injury.

3D Mitochondrial Structure in Aging Human Skeletal Muscle: Insights Into MFN‐2‐Mediated Changes
Changes in mitochondrial structure and dynamics during aging provide a mechanism for the development of age‐related sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle mass loss. Through the creation of three‐dimensional models of mitochondria from quadriceps muscle tissue taken from old and young humans, a loss in mitochondrial complexity was observed to ...
