Strategic Design of Soft Actuators in Translational Medical Robotics for Human‐Centered Healthcare

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Soft robotics enables biocompatible, compliant medical devices, but clinical translation requires design‐driven engineering beyond materials. This perspective reviews implantable, surgical, and wearable systems by actuation mechanism, highlighting how optimized architectures and integration improve mechanical interfacing, adaptability, and durability ...

Feasibility of High-Density Surface Electromyography for the Detection of Neuromuscular Disorders in Children. [PDF]

Muscle Nerve
ABSTRACT Introduction/Aims Diagnosing neuromuscular disorders in children is challenging. Concentric needle electromyography (CNEMG) is the standard for electrophysiological assessments but has limitations in pediatric populations. High‐density surface electromyography (HDsEMG) provides a noninvasive technique with superior spatial resolution, enabling

Passive activity enhances residual control ability in patients with complete spinal cord injury

Neural Regeneration Research
Patients with complete spinal cord injury retain the potential for volitional muscle activity in muscles located below the spinal injury level. However, because of prolonged inactivity, initial attempts to activate these muscles may not effectively ...

Effects of Rapid Palatal Expansion on Chewing Biomechanics in Children with Malocclusion: A Surface Electromyography Study

Sensors, 2020
Malocclusion during childhood may affect both morphology and masticatory function and could greatly affect the subsequent growth and development of the jaws and face. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of surface electromyography in

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.
