Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Long‐Term Follow Up of Two Patients With Variants in the Cluster 1031‐1159 of TRRAP Gene: Expanding the Phenotype of Developmental Delay With or Without Dysmorphic Facies and Autism

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transformation/transcription domain‐associated protein (TRRAP) gene encodes a large multidomain protein, a member of the phosphatidylinositol 3‐kinase‐related kinase (PIKK) family. TRRAP is a component of the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, and it plays an important role in gene transcription, DNA repair, and cell‐cycle regulation.

Ankle foot orthoses in cerebral palsy: Effects of ankle stiffness on trunk kinematics, gait stability and energy cost of walking.

European journal of paediatric neurology, 2020
In children with cerebral palsy (CP), rigid ventral shell ankle-foot orthoses (vAFOs) are often prescribed to reduce excessive knee flexion in stance and lower the energy cost of walking (ECW).

Comparison of Consumer Smartwatch and Research‐Grade Accelerometer‐Derived Step Counts in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Muscle &Nerve, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Objective, scalable measures of function are needed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Research‐grade accelerometers are promising but may be difficult to deploy for prolonged remote monitoring, whereas consumer smartwatches offer a practical alternative. We evaluated the feasibility of long‐term smartwatch monitoring in

THE IMPACT OF ANKLE-FOOT ORTHOSES ON BALANCE IN OLDER ADULTS: A SCOPING REVIEW

Canadian Prosthetics & Orthotics Journal, 2021
BACKGROUND: Balance impairment is a contributing factor to falls. Falls are a leading cause of injury and death in older adults. An ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) is a device that can be prescribed as an intervention to help individuals with compromised ...
