Recent medical advancements underscore the need to identify specific impairments in stroke survivors to tailor treatments for better outcomes. Sensory function is critical to motor recovery post-stroke. Personalized therapy should assess sensory contributions to learning to tailor sensory augmentation, thus improving learning and reducing errors. An individualized mathematical model could aid in understanding and addressing sensory deficits, leading to more effective, personalized therapy and… Show more Recent medical advancements underscore the need to identify specific impairments in stroke survivors to tailor treatments for better outcomes.

GraphicTab Test explores the speed-curvature relationship in drawing movements on a graphics tablet, focusing on how instantaneous velocity correlates with curvature radius. This investigation delves into the well-established link between a drawing's velocity and its curvature, emphasizing that movement velocity not only relates to time and space but also to the trajectory's deviation from a straight line. The project examines how biological constraints limit movement freedom, making velocity… Show more GraphicTab Test explores the speed-curvature relationship in drawing movements on a graphics tablet, focusing on how instantaneous velocity correlates with curvature radius. This investigation delves into the well-established link between a drawing's velocity and its curvature, emphasizing that movement velocity not only relates to time and space but also to the trajectory's deviation from a straight line. The project examines how biological constraints limit movement freedom, making velocity and curvature interdependent. Key findings include the systematic relationship between pen tip speed and trajectory geometry, particularly how angular velocity matches 2/3 power of curvature in elliptical drawings. The study aims to analyze kinematic and pressure parameters in elliptical planar figures, contributing to our understanding of movement dynamics on graphics tablets. Show less

Effects on motor coordination due to robotic assistance: experimental evaluation through muscle synergies on healthy subjects. Robotic rehabilitation, aimed at restoring motor functionality in neurological patients, shows promise but requires further study on its effects on human motor control and recovery mechanisms. This study explores the impact of assistance in human-robot interaction on healthy individuals using a standard upper-limb rehabilitation paradigm with linear and curvilinear… Show more Effects on motor coordination due to robotic assistance: experimental evaluation through muscle synergies on healthy subjects. Robotic rehabilitation, aimed at restoring motor functionality in neurological patients, shows promise but requires further study on its effects on human motor control and recovery mechanisms. This study explores the impact of assistance in human-robot interaction on healthy individuals using a standard upper-limb rehabilitation paradigm with linear and curvilinear trajectories. Ten healthy participants engaged in radial and curvilinear tasks with and without robotic assistance. The study measured kinematics and EMGs to analyze muscle synergies. Results showed that assistance reduced errors, particularly in more complex curvilinear tasks, and slightly altered muscle synergies, suggesting that while robotic assistance enhances task performance in healthy subjects, its effect on muscle coordination is minimal. These insights contribute to optimizing human-robot interaction for motor recovery training. Show less

The study focused on analyzing the connection between emotions and physiological parameters through the extraction of features from electrocardiographic and electrodermal activity signals, indicative of autonomic nervous system activity. Regression models were employed to examine the relationship between these physiological features and the emotions triggered by a validated set of emotional stimuli, offering insights into the interplay between physiological responses and emotional states.
