Upper Limb Motor Function Rehabilitation System Leveraging Pressure‐Sensitive Intent Recognition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel upper limb rehabilitation system for stroke patients combines liquid metal elastomer sensors with functional electrical stimulation (FES). By automatically adjusting stimulation intensity based on real‐time muscle force signals, the system enhances wrist movement capability (14° to 47° elevation) and aids neural recovery through heightened ...

The effects of early rheumatoid arthritis on dominant and non-dominant hand impairment and function [PDF]

, 2005
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is defined as a symmetrical disease yet there is evidence that hand joint damage sustained in RA is related to use, and hand dominance could affect the degree of structural impairment evident in the wrist and hand.

Wide Linearity Range and Rapid‐Response Tactile Sensor Inspired by Parallel Structures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by parallel structures, a composite tactile sensor design is proposed using parallel elastomer integration, developing two novel sensors. This strategy optimizes the force‐electric response and viscoelastic hysteresis of the conductive composite, achieving a balanced enhancement of linear sensing range and fast response.
