Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This study introduces a hybrid robot that integrates mechanical assistance by musculoskeletons (i.e., soft pneumatic muscle with rigid exoskeletal extensions), neuromuscular electrical stimulation, and vibrotactile feedback in a lightweight wearable mechatronic complex applicable to the paretic ankle–foot poststroke for gait restoration. The system can

Interactions of Interaural Time and Level Differences in Spatial Hearing with Cochlear Implants
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Differences in timing (ΔT) are weighted heavily compared to differences in loudness (ΔL) in binaural hearing with cochlear implants. Abstract Normally hearing humans can localize sound sources quite accurately, with minimum audible angles as small as 1°. To achieve this, these auditory pathways combine information from multiple acoustic cues, including

High and low frequency transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation in post-cesarean pain intensity
Fisioterapia e Pesquisa, 2014 The current study aim was evaluate the analgesic effect of TENS modulation for high (100 Hz) and low (4 Hz) frequency in post-cesarean pain. 34 postpartum women were randomly divided into three treatment groups: 100 Hz (G100), 4 Hz (G4) and Placebo (GP) (
