Clinicians constantly face the need to rehabilitate stroke patients to re-establish coordinate reach and grasp. Rehabilitation, to be effective, requires intensive and repetitive tasks. Assist-as-needed motion control for reach and grasp assistance are usually treated separately, and mostly based on virtual reality games. To increase the clinical outcome, we designed flexible modules for a clinical...
This paper describes a mapping project carried out using both optical and SAR data on an agricultural area in northern Italy where the main crops are corn, rice and wheat. Temporal trends of backscatter and reflectance, given by the variations in vegetation growth, soil conditions and agricultural practices were analyzed and interpreted thanks to the ground-measured data. Information extracted from...
Muscle synergies have been proposed as building blocks that simplify the construction of movements, and as a method to study motor behavior. However, the pre-processing of the EMG signals and the factorization algorithm may impact on their extraction and meaning. This preliminary work aimed at investigating the influence of the selection of the muscles on muscle synergies analysis. In particular,...
Many research groups are currently working with robotic devices for hand grasp rehabilitation and restoration. A common problem in this area is the fact that existing and commercially available robotic exoskeletons are able to provide gravity compensation of the shoulder and elbow but do not provide any support for the grasping and releasing movements of the hand. The lack of a flexible support technology...
