An OpenSim-Based Closed-Loop Biomechanical Wrist Model for Subject-Specific Pathological Tremor Simulation
An OpenSim-Based Closed-Loop Biomechanical Wrist Model for Subject-Specific Pathological Tremor Simulation 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Objective: A pathological tremor (PT) is an involuntary rhythmic movement of varying frequency and amplitude that affects voluntary motion, thus compromising individuals’ independence. A comprehensive model incorporating PT’s physiological and… read more

EMG-based Multi-User Hand Gesture Classification via Unsupervised Transfer Learning Using Unknown Calibration Gestures
EMG-based Multi-User Hand Gesture Classification via Unsupervised Transfer Learning Using Unknown Calibration Gestures 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The poor generalization performance and heavy training burden of the gesture classification model contribute as two main barriers that hinder the commercialization of sEMG-based human-machine interaction (HMI) systems. To overcome… read more
