| Evaluation of torso stability using the basin of stability chair |
2013 |
1599 |
Low back pain (LBP) is a costly problem in modern health care that affects up to 80% of the population at some point in life. The link between low back and torso instability or spinal motion has not been clearly defined. Past studies evaluating torso... |
| Functional electrical stimulation recumbent bicycle for stroke rehabilitation |
2013 |
2570 |
Stroke is a severe condition that is one of the leading causes to both disabilities and death
in the United States. A stroke occurs when blood stops flowing to the brain. It only takes
minutes without blood before the brain cells begin to be damage... |
| Effectiveness of cooperative and competitive shared control |
2014 |
1773 |
Advances in technology place ever increasing demands for effective interactions be
tween humans and machines. Human-machine interaction (HMI) that incorporates
shared control, in which the human and machines both simultaneously in
uence the

| Investigating the effect of ball impact location on the overhead motion in tennis during game play |
2014 |
1935 |
Tennis is a competitive sport played by millions of people worldwide. The
characteristics of the game of tennis produce stress on the musculoskeletal system,
especially in the upper extremity. Upper extremity injuries often occur when the arm
is h... |
| Analysis of the maximum finite time Lyapunov exponent in time domain using data from torso stability tests |
2015 |
3385 |
Low back pain (LBP) is a common health problem that affects most people during their life. The goal of this research is to track the dynamics of seated stability through the falling region and determine how the maximum finite time Lyapunov exponent (... |
| Diagnosing human control system capability utilizing bandwidth |
2016 |
1303 |
The methods used to quantify bandwidth for a simple engineering system are well established. However, the application of bandwidth to complex systems like human’s motor control is more challenging. Conceptually, bandwidth is a measure of how capable ... |
| Mathematical modeling of glioblastoma tumor growth under the influence of chemotherapy with fluoropyrimidine polymer F10 |
2016 |
3051 |
Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common and most malignant primary tumor of the brain. Optimal therapy results in survival time of 15 months for newly diagnosed cancer and 5-7 months for recurrent disease. Malignant glioblastoma patients demonstra... |
| Design of a powered ankle orthosis for rehabilitation |
2016 |
1287 |
This research describes the design, development, and testing of a powered ankle orthosis (PAO), designed to provide exoskeletal assistance with plantar flexion for a user unable to properly complete this portion of normal gait. A PAO is a powered ass... |
| Redesigning a bicycle crank arm for metal additive manufacturing by applying DFMAM guidelines to the topology optimization process |
2019 |
3114 |
Metal additive manufacturing has transformed the conventional design process. With the assistance of additive manufacturing, complex and novel geometries that were previously unfeasible to construct using convention methods, can now be fabricated. Tr... |
| A next generation neural prosthesis to improve gait in people with muscle weakness |
2020 |
934 |
Some of the 5.3 million people in the US who are living with some form of paralysis may be assisted by a neural prosthesis that employs Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). FES produces muscular contractions by applying an electrical stimulation ... |
