Skin‐Like Tri‐Modal Sensors Based on Soft Piezoelectric and Ionic Composites

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Inspired by the multimodal perception of human skin, a soft, skin‐like tri‐modal sensor is presented. The device incorporates an ionically conductive, piezoelectric, elastic composite as its active layer, enabling independent detection of temperature, static strain, and dynamic strain within a single two‐terminal architecture.

Galinstan Liquid Metal/Polyurethane Composite as a Multifunctional Stretchable Electrode and Piezoresistive Strain Sensor With Minimal Drift

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Liquid metal additives are processed in elastomer host resulting in highly conductive and stretchable composites. The material functions as a piezoresistive sensor with minimal drift, low stiffness, and enhanced operating range. The film can replace wires to charge a mobile phone at ∼350% strain and monitors bodily motion in real‐time via a portable ...

Soft Robotic Excretory Care Simulator for Nursing Education: Functional and Perceptual Biomimetics Approach

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A soft robotic simulator is developed to replicate the digital removal of feces (DRF), a sensitive yet essential nursing procedure. Integrating soft actuators, sensors, and a realistic rectal model, the simulator balances functional fidelity with perceptual realism. Engineering evaluations and nurse feedback confirm its potential to enhance training in

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

2021
Cancer patients have unique symptoms from tumor burden and cancer treatments, which affect functional status and quality of life. Reports have shown approximately 65% of cancer patients have at least one functional/rehabilitation need, yet fewer than 10% of these needs get addressed during their cancer journey.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

JAMA, 1999
THE FIELD OF PHYSICAL MEDICINE and rehabilitation or physiatry (the practitioner is a physiatrist) has continued to grow since its formation in 1947. One of the major concerns of the physiatrist is the improvement in the patient’s activities that add quality to life.

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1979
Frank Krusen established the first Department of Physical Medicine in Philadelphia in 1929. He and other pioneers, such as Miland Knapp, Howard Rusk, and Earl Elkins, created a specialty that emphasized rehabilitation of chronically disabled patients rather than treatment of disease as such.1,2Early neglect of disabling injuries and illnesses is far ...
