Changes in Spatiotemporal Variability of Muscular Response under the Influence of Post-stroke Spasticity

Changes in Spatiotemporal Variability of Muscular Response under the Influence of Post-stroke Spasticity 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Spasticity is characterized by involuntary muscle activation due to the hyperexcitability of the stretch reflex. However, the temporal pattern and spatial heterogeneity of motor unit recruitment in this activation are… read more

From Simulation to Reality: Predicting Torque With Fatigue Onset via Transfer Learning

From Simulation to Reality: Predicting Torque With Fatigue Onset via Transfer Learning 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Muscle fatigue impacts upper extremity function but is often overlooked in biomechanical models. The present work leveraged a transfer learning approach to improve torque predictions during fatiguing upper extremity movements.… read more

MEFFNet: Forecasting Myoelectric Indices of Muscle Fatigue in Healthy and Post-Stroke During Voluntary and FES-Induced Dynamic Contractions

MEFFNet: Forecasting Myoelectric Indices of Muscle Fatigue in Healthy and Post-Stroke During Voluntary and FES-Induced Dynamic Contractions 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Myoelectric indices forecasting is important for muscle fatigue monitoring in wearable technologies, adaptive control of assistive devices like exoskeletons and prostheses, functional electrical stimulation (FES)-based Neuroprostheses, and more. Non-stationary temporal… read more

Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses

Author(s)3: Ricardo Garcia-Rosas, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie, Ying Tan, Peter Choong
Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses 672 207 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Synergistic prostheses enable the coordinated movement of the human-prosthetic arm, as required by activities of daily living. This is achieved by coupling the motion of the prosthesis to the human command, such as the residual limb movement in motion-based interfaces. read more

Correlates of Residual Limb Pain: From Residual Limb Length and Usage to Metabolites and Activity in Secondary Somatosensory Cortex

Correlates of Residual Limb Pain: From Residual Limb Length and Usage to Metabolites and Activity in Secondary Somatosensory Cortex

Author(s)3: Xiaoli Guo, Yuanyuan Lyu, Zhuo Wang, Yao Li, Jianbo Xiang, Changjie Pan, Herta Flor, Shanbao Tong
Correlates of Residual Limb Pain: From Residual Limb Length and Usage to Metabolites and Activity in Secondary Somatosensory Cortex 780 418 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

    Most recent studies attribute residual limb pain to peripheral pathological changes of the stump. However, in this paper, we focus on its associations with the residual limb length, usage,…
