Proprioceptive Augmentation With Illusory Kinaesthetic Sensation in Stroke Patients Improves Movement Quality in an Active Upper Limb Reach-and-Point Task

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurorobotics, 2021
Stroke patients often have difficulty completing motor tasks even after substantive rehabilitation. Poor recovery of motor function can often be linked to stroke-induced damage to motor pathways.

Modeling Mechanical Dispersion by Using the Method of Advective Transport Phenomena, a First Step

open access: yesGroundwater, Volume 64, Issue 2, Page 202-209, March/April 2026.
A new theory for mechanical dispersion describes the spreading of water particles generated by advective flow at sub‐model scale. A representative parameter for modeling, the advective volume shift, is calculated from the distance traveled in the calculation step and stochastic parameters describing the aquifer heterogeneity only and replaces the ...

Fitts\u27s Law: Towards a Geometric Explanation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In designing human-computer interfaces, designers use an empirical Fitts\u27s Law, according to which the average time T of accessing an icon of size w at a distance d from the center of the screen is proportional to the logarithm of the ratio w/d. There

Fitts and VR: Evaluating Display and Input Devices with Fitts' Law

open access: yes, 1997
This paper describes an experiment using Fitts' Law to evaluate performance in target acquisition tasks comparing a typical virtual reality (VR) display and input device with a typical computer workstation display and input device.

Applying Fitts’ Law to Gesture Based Computer Interactions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
: As gesture interfaces become more main-stream, it is increasingly important to investigate the behavioral characteristics of these interactions – particularly in three-dimensional (3D) space.

Different types of exercise and myocardial angiogenesis regulation: A scoping review of cardiac‐specific evidence in animal models

open access: yesPhysiological Reports, Volume 14, Issue 5, March 2026.
Abstract Exercise promotes myocardial angiogenesis, yet molecular responses vary by modality, and cardiac‐specific evidence in healthy models remains fragmented. This study aimed to map biomolecular regulators of myocardial/coronary angiogenesis across exercise types in healthy animal models. PRISMA‐ScR scoping review.

Elastic Fast Marching Learning from Demonstration

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 2, February 2026.
This article presents Elastic Fast Marching Learning (EFML), a novel approach for learning from demonstration that combines velocity‐based planning with elastic optimization. EFML enables smooth, precise, and adaptable robot trajectories in both position and orientation spaces.

Heat Therapy: Targeting Health, Disease, and Disability

open access: yesComprehensive Physiology, Volume 16, Issue 1, February 2026.
The predominance of evidence suggests heat therapy has an impact on all aspects of health and performance, but the drivers of that improvement, the extent to which they are improved, and the specific populations in which improvements manifest are far from completely understood.

An Error Model for Pointing Based on Fitts ’ Law

open access: yes, 2008
For decades, Fitts ’ law (1954) has been used to model pointing time in user interfaces. As with any rapid motor act, faster pointing movements result in increased errors.

Manual Dexterity Abilities and Dual Tasking in Children With Developmental Coordination Disorder and Typically Developing Children

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Psychology, Volume 82, Issue 2, Page 146-160, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Poor manual skills in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) may be dependent on task complexity and due to difficulties in the automatization phase of the motor learning process. Increased task demands and the dual‐task paradigm can be used to test these hypotheses.
