Comparisons of immediate efficacy of cryoneurolysis and phenol neurolysis in spasticity reduction using Modified Ashworth Scale after brain injury: A retrospective cohort study

open access: yesPM&R, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Phenol neurolysis and cryoneurolysis are nerve block procedures used to manage localized spasticity through different mechanisms, chemical and cold‐induced nerve blocks, respectively. Both procedures can cause immediate reduction in spasticity. Objective To compare the immediate efficacy of cryoneurolysis versus phenol neurolysis in

Sliding Mode Control and Observation for Upper Limb Robotics Rehabilitation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Robust and Nonlinear Control, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Stroke is a leading cause of upper limb motor impairments, which often require rehabilitation. General purpose robotic manipulators enable effective therapy through exercises such as Center Out Point‐to‐Point (CO‐PTP) and Teach‐and‐Track (TT), which respectively demand accurate estimation and rejection of the interaction force exerted by the ...

Stair‐Climbing Wheelchairs for Enhanced Mobility: A Comprehensive Review of Fundamental Mechanisms, Design Concepts, and Performance Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT People with physical disabilities face significant mobility challenges while climbing uneven surfaces and staircases. In these circumstances, traditional wheelchairs do not provide stable, safely controlled mobility, underscoring the importance of building superior stair‐climbing wheelchairs for both medical and infrastructure purposes.

Reducing Inequalities Through Sustainable Digital Design: Assistive Technology Development for SDG 3 and SDG 10

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited access to appropriate assistive technologies (AT) remains a major barrier to health, well‐being, and social inclusion, particularly among vulnerable and marginalised populations. Addressing this challenge is central to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 (Good Health and Well‐being) and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities).

Predictability of obstructive sleep apnea with a somesthetic screening score: Development and preliminary validation in a prospective study

open access: yesSleep Research, EarlyView.
This prospective study developed a two‐step clinical scoring system for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) screening based on patients’ somesthetic perception of oropharyngeal airflow. The Intermediate Score (IS ≥ 7.5) achieved 73% sensitivity and 77% specificity (AUC = 0.7754; OR = 8.96).
