Age-Dependent Asymmetry of Wrist Position Sense Is Not Influenced by Stochastic Tactile Stimulation

Jamie Paik, Harshal Arun Sonar

Stochastic stimulation has been shown to improve movement, balance, the sense of touch, and may also improve position sense. This stimulation can be non-invasive and may be a simple technology to enhance proprioception. In this study, we investigated wheth ...

Real-World Gait Bout Detection Using a Wrist Sensor: An Unsupervised Real-Life Validation

Kamiar Aminian, Anisoara Ionescu, Hooman Dejnabadi, Abolfazl Soltani

Gait bouts (GB), as a prominent indication of physical activity, contain valuable fundamental information closely associated with human & x2019;s health status. Therefore, objective assessment of the GB (e.g. detection, spatio-temporal analysis) during dai ...

From human action understanding to robot action execution: how the physical properties of handled objects modulate non-verbal cues

Aude Billard, José Santos-Victor, Nuno Ricardo Ferreira Duarte, Konstantinos Chatzilygeroudis

Humans manage to communicate action intentions in a non-verbal way, through body posture and movement. We start from this observation to investigate how a robot can decode a human's non-verbal cues during the manipulation of an object, with specific physic ...

Functional imaging of rostrocaudal spinal activity during upper limb motor tasks

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Silvestro Micera, Roberto Martuzzi, Elvira Pirondini, Nawal Noëlle Kinany

The spinal cord is the main interface between the brain and the periphery. It notably plays a central role in motor control, as spinal motoneurons activate skeletal muscles involved in voluntary movements. Yet, the spinal mechanisms underlying human moveme ...

Joint Inertial Sensor Orientation Drift Reduction for Highly Dynamic Movements

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel, Julien Chardonnens

Inertial sensor drift is usually corrected on a single-sensor unit level. When multiple sensor units are used, mutual information from different units can be exploited for drift correction. This study introduces a method for a drift-reduced estimation of t ...

An Inertial Sensor-Based Method for Estimating the Athlete's Relative Joint Center Positions and Center of Mass Kinematics in Alpine Ski Racing

Kamiar Aminian, Benedikt Fasel

For the purpose of gaining a deeper understanding of the relationship between external training load and health in competitive alpine skiing, an accurate and precise estimation of the athlete's kinematics is an essential methodological prerequisite. This s ...

A role for HOX13 proteins in the regulatory switch between TADs at the HoxD locus

Denis Duboule, Anamaria Necsulea, Nicolas Lonfat

During vertebrate limb development, Hoxd genes are regulated following a bimodal strategy involving two topologically associating domains (TADs) located on either side of the gene cluster. These regulatory landscapes alternatively control different subsets ...

EMG-based learning approach for estimating wrist motion

Aude Billard, Silvestro Micera, Sahar El Khoury, Iason Batzianoulis

This paper proposes an EMG based learning approach for estimating the displacement along the 2-axes (abduction/adduction and flexion/extension) of the human wrist in real-time. The algorithm extracts features from the EMG electrodes on the upper and forear ...

Smart knee prosthesis kinematics estimation and validation in a robotic knee simulator

Kamiar Aminian, Arash Arami

In this work we present the smart knee prosthesis designed for in-vivo kinematics measurement and its validation in two knee simulators, i.e. a robotic knee simulator to provide realistic condition, and a manual simulator with more degrees of freedom. The ...

Sagittal plane blocade in patients with Functional Hallux Limitus:a multisegment model analysis of the Flexor Hallucis Longus endoscopic tenolysis

Kamiar Aminian, Hossein Rouhani, Arash Arami

Functional Hallux Limitus (FHL) is a relatively unknown clinical entity in which dorsal flexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is restricted during final stance phase, derailing the three mechanisms of foot stabilization 1. The close packing of the ...

The missing link: Enhanced functional connectivity between amygdala and visceroceptive cortex in migraine

Nouchine Hadjikhani

Background Migraine is a neurovascular disorder in which altered functional connectivity between pain-modulating circuits and the limbic system may play a role. Cortical spreading depression (CSD), which underlies migraine aura (MWA), induces C-fos express ...

Ergonomic handle for haptic devices

Hannes Bleuler, Ricardo Daniel Rita Beira

A ergonomic handle that can be added to existing haptic devices, composed by a spherical mechanism providing hand orientation and a grasping mechanism is shown. Both the proposed spherical mechanism and the handle have been ergonomically designed to avoid ...

Hybrid Polymer Foams for Osteochondral Tissue Engineering

Matthieu Cuénoud

Articular cartilage is a soft tissue that covers the ends of articulating bones, and is essential for maintaining joint motion, i.e. translation and rotation between the bones. Articular cartilage nevertheless has a limited capacity for self-repair, and ca ...

Simultaneous and multisite measure of micromotion, subsidence and gap to evaluate femoral stem stability

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Miguel Gortchacow

The initial stability of cementless femoral components is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. This has been reported in animal and clinical studies. Until now, the stability was evaluated by the measurement of relative micromotion ...

A 1D elastic plastic damage constitutive law for bone tissue

Alain Curnier, Daniel Garcia

Motivated by applications in orthopaedic and maxillo-facial surgery, the mechanical behaviour of cortical bone in cyclic overloads at physiological strain rates is investigated. To this end, a new one-dimensional rate-independent constitutive model for com ...
