Motor Unit Number Estimation via Sequential Monte Carlo [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2018
A change in the number of motor units that operate a particular muscle is an important indicator for the progress of a neuromuscular disease and the efficacy of a therapy. Inference for realistic statistical models of the typical data produced when testing muscle function is difficult, and estimating the number of motor units from these data is an ...

Splicing therapy for neuromuscular disease

open access: yesMolecular and Cellular Neuroscience, 2013
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) are two of the most common inherited neuromuscular diseases in humans. Both conditions are fatal and no clinically available treatments are able to significantly alter disease course in either case.

Risk Factors and Predictive Models for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

open access: yesAGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Independent risk factors for sarcopenia identified by Lasso regression and logistic regression in the study were BMI, prealbumin, albumin/globulin ratio (A/G ratio), serum creatinine, and phosphorus. These factors were used to construct a nomogram model and a decision tree model. Both models showed effectiveness in predicting sarcopenia in older adults,

Geometry of orofacial neuromuscular signals: speech articulation decoding using surface electromyography [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Each year, millions of individuals lose the ability to speak intelligibly due to causes such as neuromuscular disease, stroke, trauma, and head/neck cancer surgery (e.g. laryngectomy) or treatment (e.g. radiotherapy toxicity to the speech articulators).

Monocular 3D Sway Tracking for Assessing Postural Instability in Cerebral Hypoperfusion During Quiet Standing [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2019
Postural instability is prevalent in aging and neurodegenerative disease, decreasing quality of life and independence. Quantitatively monitoring balance control is important for assessing treatment efficacy and rehabilitation progress. However, existing technologies for assessing postural sway are complex and expensive, limiting their widespread ...

Skin‐Conformal Myography for Real‐Time Hand Tracking Using a Laser‐Induced Graphene Strain Sensor Array

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
A skin‐conformal wearable device based on laser‐induced graphene is developed for continuous strain measurement across the circumference of the forearm for gesture recognition and hand‐tracking applications. Post material optimization, the strain sensor array is integrated with a wearable wireless readout circuit for real‐time control of a robotic arm,

A Wearable Soft Actuator for Directional Tactile Stimulation: Design and Testing

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
A wearable actuator able to produce directional tactile stimulation is obtained by embedding a planar shape memory spring in silicone matrix. The matrix is designed taking into account skin characteristics and leveraging its multifunctionality: it acts as a bias load, improves the thermal behavior of the spring and wearability.
