Electrolyte‐Jet 3D Printing of Copper‐Based Strain Sensors for Physiological Signal Monitoring and Robotic Manipulation

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Electrolyte‐jet (EJ) 3D printing turns copper ions into precisely arranged copper microspheres, which combine with flexible polymers and carbon nanomaterials to create durable, high‐sensitivity sensors. These sensors accurately monitor human motion and physiological signals. Real‐time robotic hand control via gesture mirroring demonstrates an intuitive

Proprioceptive deficits and postural instability in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis: a comparative study of balance control and key predictors

Frontiers in Pediatrics
BackgroundAdolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is associated with postural instability, which may be influenced by proprioceptive deficits. While previous studies have examined balance impairments in scoliosis, the extent to which proprioception errors ...

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

Advanced 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

The Relationship between Postural Stability and Lower-Limb Muscle Activity Using an Entropy-Based Similarity Index

Entropy, 2018
The aim of this study is to see if the centre of pressure (COP) measurements on the postural stability can be used to represent the electromyography (EMG) measurement on the activity data of lower limb muscles.
