Biomedical Research

KEY FINDING: Early reports were mostly focused on the qualitative analysis of sEMG patterns and evolved to semi-quantitative scores and a more detailed amplitude-based quantification.

KEY FINDING: The Hilbert and BSgonio algorithms met the set accuracy criteria, showing good agreement with the baseline reference. BSgonio proved an accurate and precise way of detecting events reliably in real time.

KEY FINDING: Recording quality decreased over time on both stimulated SIROF and non-stimulated platinum electrodes, but stimulated SIROF electrodes were more likely to continue recording high-amplitude signals.

KEY FINDING: The developed hydrogel is conductive, with conductivity increasing with GNR content up to 0.8 mg/ml.

KEY FINDING: Users of tilt-in-space wheelchairs experienced twice the proportion of high-risk caster failures than the ultralightweight manual wheelchair users.

KEY FINDING: The digital FFC utilizes only 4% of the total FPGA (Cyclone IV E) logic elements (LEs).

KEY FINDING: The BC/FB gel formed within 1 minute at 37 °C and released Decorin in a sustained manner for up to 30 days in vitro.

KEY FINDING: tSCS manifested as narrow, high-amplitude peaks in the time domain at a rate equal to the stimulation frequency, making the EEG nearly an order of magnitude more powerful than normal EEG.

KEY FINDING: The developed exoskeleton can produce a fingertip force of up to 8 N and cover 91.5 degrees of range of motion in just 3 seconds.

KEY FINDING: Using PAPAWs significantly reduces propulsion effort (RMS torque) and push frequency compared to manual wheelchairs.
