A Soft High Force Hand Exoskeleton for Rehabilitation and Assistance of Spinal Cord Injury and Stroke Individuals [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) and stroke who is lack of manipulation capability have a particular need for robotic hand exoskeletons. Among assistive and rehabilitative medical exoskeletons, there exists a sharp trade-off between device power on the one hand and ergonomics and portability on other, devices that provide stronger grasping ...

Towards Unconstrained Collision Injury Protection Data Sets: Initial Surrogate Experiments for the Human Hand [PDF]
arXivSafety for physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) is a major concern for all application domains. While current standardization for industrial robot applications provide safety constraints that address the onset of pain in blunt impacts, these impact thresholds are difficult to use on edged or pointed impactors.

Modernized Latvian Ergonomic Keyboard [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Increasingly more people use computers and create content using keyboards (even with leading edge touch-screen technology). As in the most part of the world, in Latvia also conventional "Qwerty" keyboard is used. Though for Latvian it is much worse than for English, especially due to enormous load to little fingers. It causes repetitive strain injuries

Intraoral Drug Delivery: Bridging the Gap Between Academic Research and Industrial Innovations
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Intraoral drug delivery offers a promising route for systemic and localized therapies, yet challenges such as enzymatic degradation, limited permeability, and microbial interactions hinder efficacy. This figure highlights innovative strategies—mucoadhesive materials, enzyme inhibitors, and permeation enhancers—to overcome these barriers.

A Personalized Video-Based Hand Taxonomy: Application for Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]
arXivHand function is critical for our interactions and quality of life. Spinal cord injuries (SCI) can impair hand function, reducing independence. A comprehensive evaluation of function in home and community settings requires a hand grasp taxonomy for individuals with impaired hand function.
