Comparative study of spinning field development in two species of araneophagic spiders (Araneae, Mimetidae, Australomimetus) [PDF]

, 2017
External studies of spider spinning fields allow us to make inferences about internal silk gland biology, including what happens to silk glands when the spider molts.

The Effect of an Active Upper-Limb Exoskeleton on Metabolic Parameters and Muscle Activity During a Repetitive Industrial Task

IEEE Access, 2022
In this paper, an experimental evaluation of an active upper-limb exoskeleton, where 12 subjects perform an overhead industrial task with and without the exoskeleton, is presented.

Unilateral Ankle‐Foot Exoneuromusculoskeleton with Balance‐Sensing Feedback for Self‐Help Telerehabilitation after Stroke

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

A passive upper limb exoskeleton effectively reduces shoulder muscle activity over a large shoulder workspace

Wearable Technologies
Industrial upper limb exoskeletons offload the upper limb during overhead tasks to help prevent musculoskeletal disorders to the shoulder. Although numerous studies showed reduced shoulder muscle activity during upper limb exoskeleton use for overhead ...
