Stiffness and position control of a prosthetic wrist by means of an EMG interface [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In this paper, we present a novel approach for decoding electromyographic signals from an amputee and for interfacing them with a prosthetic wrist. The model for the interface makes use of electromyographic signals from electrodes placed in agonistic and

Microplastics from Wearable Bioelectronic Devices: Sources, Risks, and Sustainable Solutions

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Bioelectronic devices (e.g., e‐skins) heavily rely on polymers that at the end of their life cycle will generate microplastics. For research, a holistic approach to viewing the full impact of such devices cannot be overlooked. The potential for devices as sources for microplastics is raised, with mitigation strategies surrounding polysaccharide and ...

The articular wrist complex in Miocene and Plio-Pleistocene African hominoids: anatomofunctional and morphometric comparative approach

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2009
Cette thèse avait pour objectif d’étudier la mise en place des spécialisations fonctionnelles de la main des hominidés pliocènes et de tester l’hypothèse de la terrestrialité à l’origine de la lignée hominidé.

Using High‐Throughput Screening to Identify Crosslinking Peptides That Control Cell‐Mediated Matrix Degradation

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Protease‐degradable hydrogels mimic dynamic cell‐matrix interactions, but controlling hydrogel degradation is a challenge. We screen libraries of peptides to identify sequences that are primarily degraded by membrane‐localized proteases. Crosslinking hydrogels with these peptides enables cell to spread and migrate while reducing matrix degradation ...

The impact of tool selection on back and wrist injury risk in tying steel reinforcement bars: a single case experiment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The paper explores the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injury in tying steel reinforcement bars. Three tools are compared to determine the extent to which ergonomic tools can reduce the risk of injury to the back and wrist in steel-tying.

Seeing inside the Body Using Wearable Sensing and Imaging Technologies

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores wearable technologies for noninvasive internal health monitoring. It categorizes approaches into indirect sensing (e.g., bioelectrical and biochemical signals) and direct imaging (e.g., wearable ultrasound and EIT), highlighting multimodal integration and system‐level innovation toward personalized, continuous healthcare.

Active End-Effector Pose Selection for Tactile Object Recognition through Monte Carlo Tree Search

open access: yes, 2017
This paper considers the problem of active object recognition using touch only. The focus is on adaptively selecting a sequence of wrist poses that achieves accurate recognition by enclosure grasps. It seeks to minimize the number of touches and maximize

Use of accelerometers in the control of practical prosthetic arms [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Accelerometers can be used to augment the control of powered prosthetic arms. They can detect the orientation of the joint and limb and the controller can correct for the amount of torque required to move the limb.
