There is currently little knowledge of the loading patterns of the bones and muscles of the shoulder girdle. Despite the existence of complex upper limb models, they have only recently been used to study the loading of the joints during tasks of daily living. Studying activities of daily living is vital in understanding the range of kinematics, load bearing and stability required of the upper l...

Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are an emerging strategy for spinal cord injury (SCI) intervention that may be used to reanimate paralyzed limbs. This approach requires decoding movement intention from the brain control movement-evoking stimulation. Common methods use spike-sorting and require frequent calibration high computational complexity. Furthermore, most applications of closed-loop sti...

Human upper-limb involves for many daily human activities. The human intention for upperlimb motions can be estimated based on the activation pattern of upper-limb muscles. The upper-limb muscle activities during the daily upper-limb motions have been studied to enable power-assist robotic exoskeleton systems to estimate human upper-limb motions based on muscle electromyographic (EMG) signals. ...
