Muscle Control of an Extra Robotic Digit

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study compares muscle‐ and movement‐based control for operating a supernumerary robotic thumb. While movement control performs better in the proposed tasks, muscle‐based (EMG) control promotes broader motor learning. The results highlight the promise and challenges of using biosignals for human augmentation, offering new insights into intuitive ...

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Progressive bone distraction lengthening in the treatment of congenital malformation of the hand

open access: yes, 2004
Progressive bone distraction lengthening is a technique, first described by Matev in 1970, which allows bone lengthening of all the districts of the upper limb. This technique provides good results in bone lengthening that varies according to the site of

Risk factors for complications associated with bone lengthening by callotasis

open access: yes, 2016
The present study aims to assess the incidence of complications related to bone lengthening procedures and to identify the risk factors that may predict these complications. We retrospectively studied 71 lengthening procedures in 53 patients (mean age 14.

Continuum Robots in Surgery: From Engineering Design to Clinical Practice

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
The hyper‐redundant nature of continuum robot structures enables near‐infinite degrees of freedom leading to immense potential for medical applications. This review provides a historical background of continuum robots and novel ideas shaping their progress to current structural design, sensing technology, modeling techniques, and control methods.

Bone healing during lower limb lengthening by distraction epiphysiolysis

open access: yes, 1988
A study of limb lengthening by distraction epiphysiolysis in the rabbit tibia is presented. A special external distraction device was developed that allowed 10 mm lengthening of the leg.
