Human adaptation to augmented reality-based hand rehabilitation technique
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)Stroke is the number one cause of motor impairment in multiple countries [1]. The demand and affordability of physiotherapy are factors that prevent access to rehabilitation. Modern technology has found a successful solution ... -
Detection of dissolved $CO_2$ gas using an RF resonant sensor
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)Carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$ in the blood has the potential to cause severe health detriments as well as milder cognitive effects if its concentration increases to unsafe amounts- typically either through environmental exposure ... -
The relationship between preference and performance using three passive exoskeletons during simulated aircraft manufacturing tasks
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)Exoskeletons are a promising technology that could bridge the gap between unassisted human operations and conventional robots. Many studies on shoulder exoskeletons have shown great benefit in reducing strain and loads ... -
A machine learning framework to predict subcellular morphology of endothelial cells for digital twin generation
(Wichita State University, 2022-05)Gaining insight into different cell behaviors is key to better understanding different pathologies. These behaviors may be explained in part through close observation of 3D cell morphology. Therefore, the objective of this ... -
Human dermal microvascular endothelial cell morphological response to fluid shear stress
(Elsevier, 2022-06-02)As the cells that line the vasculature, endothelial cells are continually exposed to fluid shear stress by blood flow. Recent studies suggest that the morphological response of endothelial cells to fluid shear stress depends ... -
Progress in bioactive surface coatings on biodegradable Mg alloys: A critical review towards clinical translation
(Elsevier B.V. on behalf of KeAi Communications Co. Ltd., 2022-05-15)Mg and its alloys evince strong candidature for biodegradable bone implants, cardiovascular stents, and wound closing devices. However, their rapid degradation rate causes premature implant failure, constraining clinical ... -
Smart bioelectronic pacifier for real-time continuous monitoring of salivary electrolytes
(Elsevier Ltd, 2022-05-16)Monitoring electrolytes is critical for newborns and babies in the intensive care unit. However, the gold standard methods use a blood draw, which is painful and only offers discrete measures. Although salivary-based ... -
Torso kinematics in human rolling do not change when upper extremity motion is constrained
(Human Kinetics, 2021-11-15)Human rolling, as turning in bed, is a fundamental activity of daily living. A quantitative analysis of rolling could help identify the neuromusculoskeletal disorders that prohibit rolling and develop interventions for ... -
The reliability and validity of Gluteal Endurance Measures (GEMs)
(NASMI, 2021-12-01)Background The gluteals have unique morphology related to muscle endurance, including moderate fiber sizes and a majority of Type I endurance fibers. Evidence suggests gluteal endurance is related to low back pain, running ... -
Investigating a correlation between manual handling tasks and fatigue activity via a psychophysical approach
(Wichita State University, 2021-12)Although robotics and automation machines are leading over modern industry, manual material handling tasks remain inevitable due to high demand in the workplace. Unsafe manual handling tasks affect many people in the ... -
Smart wireless, flexible hybrid electronics for fall risk monitoring among older adults
(Wichita State University, 2021-12)Elderly’s fall is a serious medical risk since it might result in irreversible health injuries such as bone damage due to their normal changes of aging, especially elderly age 65 or older. However, there is still a lack ... -
