New Mechanics of Spinal Injury [PDF]
The prediction and prevention of spinal injury is an important aspect of preventive health science. The spine, or vertebral column, represents a chain of 26 movable vertebral bodies, joint together by transversal viscoelastic intervertebral discs and longitudinal elastic tendons. This paper proposes a new locally-coupled loading-rate hypothesis}, which

A Fabric Soft Robotic Exoskeleton with Novel Elastic Band Integrated Actuators for Hand Rehabilitation [PDF]
Common disabilities like stroke and spinal cord injuries may cause loss of motor function in hands. They can be treated with robot assisted rehabilitation techniques, like continuously opening and closing the hand with help of a robot, in a cheaper, and less time consuming manner than traditional methods.

Leveraging Tendon Vibration to Enhance Pseudo-Haptic Perceptions in VR [PDF]
Pseudo-haptic techniques are used to modify haptic perception by appropriately changing visual feedback to body movements. Based on the knowledge that tendon vibration can affect our somatosensory perception, this paper proposes a method for leveraging tendon vibration to enhance pseudo-haptics during free arm motion.
