A Soft Wearable Robot with an Adjustable Twisted String Actuator and a Two‐Stage Transmission Mechanism for Manual Handling Tasks

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article proposes a soft wearable robot (WeaRo) to assist workers while executing manual handling tasks. With its innovative design, the WeaRo effectively assists multiple body parts during manual handling tasks while using a single motor. Furthermore, the components of the WeaRo are assembled onto a fabric‐based suit, ensuring high performance and

Multi‐Risk‐Level Sarcopenia‐Prone Screening via Machine Learning Classification of Sit‐to‐Stand Motion Metrics from Wearable Sensors

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A machine learning approach utilizes micro inertial measurement units (μIMUs) for noninvasive sarcopenia screening through a sit‐to‐stand test. With 53 older participants wearing IMUs, 510 features are extracted across four motion phases. Five algorithms (support vector machine, K‐nearest neighbors, decision tree, linear discriminant analysis, and ...

Home pelvic floor exercises in children with non‐neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: Is fitball an alternative to classic exercises?

Neurourology and Urodynamics, Volume 42, Issue 1, Page 146-152, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Biofeedback with home pelvic floor exercises were recommended as non‐pharmacologic treatment for non‐neurogenic Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms (LUTS) in children. Fitball is recommended to improve all‐over flexibility, balance, and coordination, especially for pelvic floor.

Recurring patterns in stationary intervals of abdominal uterine electromyograms during gestation [PDF]

, 2014
Abdominal uterine electromyograms (uEMG) studies have focused on uterine contractions to describe the evolution of uterine activity and preterm birth (PTB) prediction. Stationary, non-contracting uEMG has not been studied.
