Event‐Driven Elongation Monitor for Soft Devices Using a Deformation‐Activated Piezoconductive Switch

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
A stretchable, event‐driven strain sensor with low energy consumption is developed using positive piezoconductive composites. These composites remain insulative when relaxed, while they become conductive when stretched. Their electrical characteristics are modifiable by the nickel's weight ratio and cross‐sectional geometry. Strain‐induced switching is

Relationship between foot sensibility and postural control in the young and elderly. http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2013v15n1p215

open access: yesRevista Brasileira de Cineantropometria e Desempenho Humano, 2013
Impairments in the foot sensitivity in the elderly cause changes in locomotion and postural control that may increase fall risk. Understanding the use of foot afference in the elderly may help preventing loss of mobility and fall.

Investigation into the impact of cognitive load in children with and without identified postural control difficulties. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
This study investigates the effect of cognitive load on children with and without identified postural control difficulties. In addition the study investigates whether this difference, if any, is different between these two groups of participants.

Smart Theremin Based on Electromagnetic Metasurfaces for Fine Dual‐Hand Perception

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
The proposed Meta‐Theremin leverages a frequency‐spatial multiplexing metasurface to enable robust dual‐hand perception by shielding environmental noise and confining EM fields to interaction zones. Its physics‐informed neural network decouples hand‐specific echoes, enhancing accuracy.

Postural control assessment in students with normal hearing and sensorineural hearing loss

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Otorhinolaryngology, 2015
INTRODUCTION: Children with sensorineural hearing loss can present with instabilities in postural control, possibly as a consequence of hypoactivity of their vestibular system due to internal ear injury.OBJECTIVE: To assess postural control stability in ...

Posture flexibility and grip strength in horse riders [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Since the ability to train the horse to be ambidextrous is considered highly desirable, rider asymmetry is recognized as a negative trait. Acquired postural and functional asymmetry can originate from numerous anatomical regions, so it is difficult to ...

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
