Patients with upper-limb injuries often use compensatory movements to overcome limitations in range of motion, which can lead to additional injury if not corrected early within a rehabilitation program. Although automatic detection of compensatory movements has been studied in the literature, the impact of sensor locations on detection performance has not been previously explored. To investigate how sensor locations affect the ability to automatically detect compensatory movements of the upper limb, sixteen surface electromyography sensors were placed on key muscles involved in these movements. Thirty-one healthy participants performed a door-opening task in three conditions: without elbow restrictions (healthy pattern), and two conditions with limited elbow range of motion (60° of flexion-full flexion and 30°–80° of flexion to simulate injury). Statistical analyses identified sensor locations with significant differences between the conditions. Support vector machine classifiers demonstrated notably higher performance using data from six sensors on the middle deltoid, the upper trapezius, the latissimus dorsi, the external obliques, and the erector abdominis. This study highlights the importance of thoughtful muscle selection for effective automatic detection and correction of upper-limb compensatory movements, which is crucial for a wearable mechatronic device to be effective in improving the movement quality of patients.
上肢受伤的患者通常会使用代偿动作来克服活动范围的限制,如果不在康复计划中及早纠正,可能会导致更多损伤。虽然自动检测代偿运动的研究在文献中已有记载,但传感器位置对检测性能的影响还没有被探讨过。为了研究传感器位置如何影响自动检测上肢代偿运动的能力,我们在参与这些运动的关键肌肉上放置了 16 个表面肌电图传感器。31 名健康参与者在三种条件下完成了开门任务:无肘关节限制(健康模式),以及肘关节活动范围受限的两种条件(60°屈曲-完全屈曲和 30°-80°屈曲以模拟受伤)。统计分析确定了不同条件下具有显著差异的传感器位置。支持向量机分类器显示,使用三角肌中部、斜方肌上部、背阔肌、腹外斜肌和竖腹肌上的六个传感器的数据性能明显更高。这项研究强调了深思熟虑的肌肉选择对于有效自动检测和纠正上肢代偿运动的重要性,这对于可穿戴机电一体化设备有效改善患者的运动质量至关重要。

The Study of Dexterous Hand Manipulation: A Synergy-Based Complexity Index 灵巧手部操作研究:基于协同作用的复杂性指数

In this work we tackle the question of how to analyze and objectively quantify the complexity of a manipulation task. The study investigates the kinematic behavior of the hand joints in three different manipulation tasks of growing complexity: reaching-to-grasp, tool use and piano playing. The collected data were processed to extract the kinematic synergies of the hand by means of singular value decomposition. A novel, unbiased metric to determine hand manipulation complexity was based on the cumulative variance accounted for. This Variance-Accounted-For Complexity Index (VAF-CI) reliably distinguished between different manipulation tasks. Moreover, an unsupervised learning method (k-means clustering) was able to use the index to accurately identify the 3 distinct manipulation tasks. These results may be leveraged to improve the control of biomimetic dexterous robots during manipulation tasks.

Magnetorheological-Elastomer-Based and Hydraulically Steerable Actuator for Micro Guidewire and Catheter

The pressure-driven mechanisms for steerable guidewires and catheters are difficult to fabricate when miniaturized to submillimeter-scale. Micro bubbles resulting from molding or surface irregularities due to surface tension can affect the actuation performance as the outer diameter of the pressure-driven actuator decreases to the submillimeter-scale. This paper presents a novel fabrication method to manufacture pressure-driven actuators of submillimeter-scale. The proposed fabrication method utilizes magnetorheological (MR) elastomer and magnetic field to determine the geometric dimensions of the actuator with micro-scale precision. An actuator of the diameter of 0.7 mm and the eccentricity of $80~mu $ m is designed and fabricated with absolute errors of $12~mu $ m and $3~mu $ m, respectively. The steering performance of the fabricated micro actuator is tested through experiments. The actuator can achieve a sharp bending angle of 124 degrees with a length of 5.41 mm, by optimizing the eccentricity through the finite-element analysis.

Preliminary Evaluation of a Soft Wearable Robot for Shoulder Movement Assistance

Spinal cord injuries (SCI) often lead to upper limb impairment, necessitating innovative solutions for daily assistance beyond traditional rigid robotics due to their impractical weight and size. Despite still preliminary, soft wearables are arising as a possible solution to fill this gap. Here, we demonstrated an enhanced version of a soft inflatable robot that assists the shoulder against gravity, previously tested with different neurological conditions. Noteworthy improvements include a single-layer actuator, simplifying manufacturing, a built-in bending angle and a nylon hammock, for better armpit conformity. We characterized the actuator (approximately $8 Nm$ at 90° at $70 kPa$ ) and demonstrated its good transparency, both from a kinematic and a muscular standpoint. Then, on 11 healthy individuals, we showed reductions in shoulder muscle activity (both at the anterior and middle deltoid) while performing a lift and hold task, ranging from 16% to almost 60% of the maximum voluntary contraction. More importantly, we confirmed these effects on two SCI individuals SCI, at two different stages of recovery. While preliminary, considering the limited exploration of soft wearable robots for the shoulder in SCI cases, this is a significant advancement playing an important role in the development of future soft technology for SCI assistance.

Accelerated Gradient-Based Neuroadaptive Synchronization Control for Antagonistic PAM Robot Hands With Obstacle Avoidance and Motion Constraints

Multiple pneumatic artificial muscles (PAMs) connected through antagonistic joints are more in line with the motion characteristics of human muscles, which better imitate/replace humans to complete a series of actual tasks, such as transportation and assembly. However, there is still a lack of comprehensive solutions to handle hysteresis, creep, input delay, and other inherent characteristics of PAMs, as well as synchronous control and obstacle avoidance that are important to multiple muscles working together. To this end, this paper proposes a new neuroadaptive synchronization controller for 3-D antagonistic PAM-actuated robot hands, which also elaborately designs auxiliary terms to realize obstacle avoidance in Cartesian space and motion constraints in joint space together. Here, dynamic obstacles are regarded as external independent objects, whose nonlinear dynamics are introduced into the proposed controller to restrict end-effectors. Meanwhile, the constraint terms of joint angles and angle velocities are designed as time-varying proportional-differential gains, instead of common barrier functions that may induce overlarge inputs. Particularly, this paper proposes an accelerated gradient-based learning term to relax the linear parameterization condition of uncertain/unmodeled dynamics and obtain accurate weight estimates, based on which, it is proven that both tracking errors and synchronous errors rapidly converge to zero. In addition to complete theoretical analysis, some hardware experiments also verify the effectiveness and adaptability of the proposed controller.

Design and Mechanics of Active Needles: A Review

Steerable needles have been extensively studied in the medical robotics society for the past two decades, evolving from passive needles to active ones that enable independent motion at their distal tip via robotics technology. Extensive design and actuation options have been proposed for the more capable active needles, followed by a few studies on their path-planning and control techniques; however, no commercial systems are available for the clinical environment yet despite their clear benefit, i.e., improved steerability and versatility compared to the other existing types of needles. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art steerable needle studies to identify research gaps and aims to deepen understanding the mechanics of active needles in soft tissue, which is critical for design optimization, precise control, and preoperative planning but currently remains unclear. To simplify the analysis, this review suggests separating the mechanics of an active needle into two parts: one for each of the tip and the shaft, where the shaft can be understood similarly to the passive needle whose mechanics has been thoroughly studied compared to the active one. Therefore, investigating the tip mechanics, including tissue properties, tip loadings, and tip kinematics, can lead to the complete understanding of active needle mechanics, the next challenges.
过去二十年来,医疗机器人学会对可转向针进行了广泛的研究,从被动针发展到主动针,通过机器人技术实现远端独立运动。针对功能更强的主动针,人们提出了广泛的设计和驱动方案,随后又对其路径规划和控制技术进行了一些研究;然而,尽管主动针具有明显的优势,即与其他现有类型的针相比,具有更好的可转向性和多功能性,但目前还没有商业系统可用于临床环境。本文回顾了最先进的可转向针研究,以找出研究空白,并旨在加深对软组织中主动针力学的理解,这对设计优化、精确控制和术前规划至关重要,但目前仍不清楚。为简化分析,本综述建议将主动针的力学分为两部分:针尖和针杆各一部分,其中针杆的理解类似于被动针,与主动针相比,被动针的力学已得到深入研究。因此,研究针尖力学,包括组织特性、针尖载荷和针尖运动学,可以全面了解主动针的力学,这是下一个挑战。
