A comparison of the haemodynamic and cardic autonomic responses following an acute bout of isometric wall squat and isometric handgrip exercise [PDF]
, 2019 Purpose. Isometric exercise (IE) training has been shown to be effective at reducing resting blood pressure (BP). However, there is a lack of clarity as to which IE modality is more effective at reducing resting BP.

TacScope: A Miniaturized Vision‐Based Tactile Sensor for Surgical Applications
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.TacScope is a compact, vision‐based tactile sensor designed for robot‐assisted surgery. By leveraging a curved elastomer surface with pressure‐sensitive particle redistribution, it captures high‐resolution 3D tactile feedback. TacScope enables accurate tumor detection and shape classification beneath soft tissue phantoms, offering a scalable, low‐cost ...

Effects of isometric exercise on hypertension [PDF]
, 2008 Hypertension is a serious problem in modern society. Between the ages of 60 and 74, the prevalence of hypertension is almost double its age-adjusted prevalence among people under 60 years old. Physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness are important

Tumbling Magnetic Microrobots for Targeted In Vivo Drug Delivery in the GI Tract
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.We introduce a microrobot design and integrated system for on‐demand targeted drug release in the gastrointestinal tract. The microrobot has an embedded magnet for actuation with external magnetic fields and is visualized in real time using ultrasound. It has two drug release ports sealed with a thermally sensitive wax. Local heating of the wax using a

Brain Activity During Unilateral Physical and Imagined Isometric Contractions
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2019 By convention, it is believed that the ipsilateral side of the body is controlled by the contralateral side of the brain. Past studies measuring brain activity primarily recorded changes before and after an intervention is performed on one side of the ...

The role of haemodynamic stimulus in isometric exercise training: implications for cardiovascular adaptations [PDF]
, 2014 The purpose of this thesis was to explore the role of exercise induced blood flow haemodynamics in thcardiovascular adaptations associated with isometric exercise training, with focus on resting blood pressure adjustment in normotensive participants ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a robotic control method for human–robot collaborative assembly based on a biomechanics‐constrained digital human model. Reinforcement learning is used to generate physiologically plausible human motion trajectories, which are integrated into a virtual environment for robot control learning.

An alternative approach to isometric exercise training prescription for cardiovascular health
, 2018 Isometric exercise training (IET) effectively reduces resting blood pressure (BP). Traditionally, IET protocols use hand grip or leg extension exercise. IET using larger muscle mass may influence the rate and magnitude of BP reductions.
