Neuromechanical Adaptation to Walking with Electromechanical Ankle Exoskeletons Under Proportional Myoelectric Control

Neuromechanical Adaptation to Walking with Electromechanical Ankle Exoskeletons Under Proportional Myoelectric Control 1978 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Objective: To determine if robotic ankle exoskeleton users decrease triceps surae muscle activity when using proportional myoelectric control, we studied healthy young participants walking with commercially available electromechanical ankle exoskeletons… read more

Adding Sound Transparency to a Spacesuit: Effect on Cognitive Performance in Females

Adding Sound Transparency to a Spacesuit: Effect on Cognitive Performance in Females 1978 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Spacesuits may block external sound. This induces sensory deprivation; a side effect is lower cognitive performance. This can increase the risk of an accident. This undesirable effect can be mitigated… read more

Quantifying Jump Height Using Markerless Motion Capture with a Single Smartphone

Quantifying Jump Height Using Markerless Motion Capture with a Single Smartphone 1809 2560 IEEE Open Journal of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (OJEMB)
Goal: The countermovement jump (CMJ) is commonly used to measure lower-body explosive power. This study evaluates how accurately markerless motion capture (MMC) with a single smartphone can measure bilateral and… read more
