Background Foot and ankle complaints are common in people with hypermobility. Children with hypermobility (Beighton score ≥4/9) were recruited for a longitudinal study from The Children’s Hospital at Westmead in Sydney, Australia. Baseline data included Beighton score, BMI for age, Star Excursion Balance Test (SEBT), Foot Posture Index (FPI), anterior drawer, subtalar inversion stress test, Low...

Sheet metal-based products serve as a major portion of the furniture market and maintain higher quality standards by being competitive. During industrial processes, while converting sheet metal to an end product, new defects are observed thus need be identified carefully. Recent studies have shown scratches, bumps, pollution/dust identified, but orange peel present overall challenge. So our mod...

PURPOSE To evaluate the clinical and radiological results and proprioception following anterolateral single-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation for PCL injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with an isolated PCL injury (16 males and 4 females) were included in this study. The mean follow-up period was 61 months (≥24 months) and the mean age...

Electroencephalography (EEG) has recently been considered for use in rehabilitation of people with motor deficits. EEG data from the motor imagery of different body movements have been used, for instance, as an EEG-based control method to send commands to rehabilitation devices that assist people to perform a variety of different motor tasks. However, it is both time and effort consuming to go ...

Accurate pose estimation of object instances is a key aspect in many applications, including augmented reality or robotics. For example, a task of a domestic robot could be to fetch an item from an open drawer. The poses of both, the drawer and the item have to be known by the robot in order to fulfil the task. 6D pose estimation of rigid objects has been addressed with great success in recent ...

In our project, we consider the problem of replicating human two-fingered grasping motions on the AX12 Smart Robotic Arm. Two-fingered grasping motions are among the most common motions used in everyday life. Examples include picking up a plate from a dishwasher, moving a chess piece, and as we will demonstrate, opening a drawer. In fact, many more complicated motions, such as holding a pen/pen...
