Dynamically Actuated Reconfigurable Topographical Surface Enables Active Control of Implant‐Associated Infections

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A dynamically actuated reconfigurable topographical surface (DARTS) integrates contact‐mediated bactericidal nanotopography with programmable mechanical actuation to actively disrupt bacterial biofilms. Dynamic surface reconfiguration enhances bacterial killing and suppresses implant‐associated infections in vivo, providing a new strategy for active ...

Walking Speed Can Be Modulated on an Adaptive Split-Belt Treadmill

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Adaptive treadmills (ATMs) that change speed based on the users’ gait mechanics can allow for healthy stride-to-stride variability observed during overground walking while maintaining the benefits of traditional treadmill training for gait rehabilitation.

Toward Smart Footwear to Track Frailty Phenotypes—Using Propulsion Performance to Determine Frailty

open access: yesSensors, 2018
Frailty assessment is dependent on the availability of trained personnel and it is currently limited to clinic and supervised setting. The growing aging population has made it necessary to find phenotypes of frailty that can be measured in an ...

Bio‐Inspired Artificial Ionic Mechanoreceptor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A skin‐inspired artificial mechanoreceptor based on ionic interactions is presented for biomimetic tactile sensing. Pressure‐driven ionic redistribution within microfluidic channels generates a self‐powered electrical signal without external bias. The generated waveform exhibits mechanoreceptor‐like temporal features, including overshoot and undershoot,

Programmable Soft Actuator with Multi‐Responsiveness Based on Conductive MOF‐Liquid Crystal Polymer Composite

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A sequential dual‐alignment strategy independently programs the orientation of conductive metal‐organic framework (c‐MOF) microrods and liquid crystals within a composite film. This approach creates an asymmetric bilayer structure that enables precise, multi‐responsive actuation.

Effect of Feedback on Foot Strike Angle and Forward Propulsion in People With Stroke

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
Effective retraining of foot elevation and forward propulsion is essential in stroke survivors’ gait rehabilitation. This study aimed to investigate the effect of providing real-time feedback on foot strike angle (FSA) and forward propulsion in ...
