Prediction of Patient Satisfaction after Treatment of Chronic Neck Pain with Mulligan’s Mobilization

Life, 2022
Chronic neck pain is among the most common types of musculoskeletal pain. Manual therapy has been shown to have positive effects on this type of pain, but there are not yet many predictive models for determining how best to apply manual therapy to the ...

Musculoskeletal Biomechanical and Electromyographical Responses Associated with Spinal Manipulation

, 2020
The primary goal of this thesis was to systematically describe biomechanical and electromyographic (EMG) responses of the human musculoskeletal system associated with cervical and upper thoracic spinal manipulation (SM). The overarching hypotheses were that: i) greater three-dimensional (3D) movements of the head and neck would be associated with ...

A Multidirectional Textile Interface for Remote Control Using Dynamic Area‐Based Capacitance Modulation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Here, we present a textile, wearable capacitive interface enabling multidirectional remote control by dynamically modulating electrode overlap and spacing via a freely gliding upper electrode. A forearm‐mounted prototype drives robotic and media tasks with 12–15 ms latency, maintains < 0.8% drift after 500 cycles, and remains stably functional at 90 ...

Robotic Control for Human–Robot Collaborative Assembly Based on Digital Human Model and Reinforcement Learning

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.
