Recent studies on human upper limb motion highlighted the benefit of dimensionality
reduction techniques to extrapolate informative joint patterns. These techniques can simplify …

Over the past three decades, much research in motor neuroscience has focused on
understanding how humans make coordinated reaching movements, yielding valuable …

Following two decades of design and clinical research on robot-mediated therapy for the
shoulder and elbow, therapeutic robotic devices for other joints are being proposed: several …

Robotic devices have been proposed to meet the rising need for high intensity, long
duration, and goal-oriented therapy required to regain motor function after neurological …

The analysis of functional upper extremity (UE) movement kinematics has implications
across domains such as rehabilitation and evaluating job-related skills. Using movement …

The rich variety of human upper limb movements requires an extraordinary coordination of
different joints according to specific spatio-temporal patterns. However, unvealing these …

In this paper, we present a novel approach to dynamically describe human upper limb
trajectories, addressing the question on whether and to which extent synergistic multi-joint …

This paper is the first in a two-part series analyzing human arm and hand motion during a
wide range of unstructured tasks. The wide variety of motions performed by the human arm …

The wrist is an essential component in performing the activities of daily living (ADLs)
associated with a high quality of life. After a neurological disorder, motor function of the hand …

Due to their stabilizing role, the wrist extensor muscles demonstrate an earlier onset of
performance fatigability and may impair movement accuracy more than the wrist flexors …
