Three new papers from the lab!

The first paper was published in collaboration with Jakob Dideriksen from Aalborg University. Take a look at how a motor unit computational model allows us to understand the potential motor unit neural and muscular changes that are observed after longitudinal interventions (neurorehabilitation, training, etc.):

Adaptations in motor unit properties underlying changes in recruitment, rate coding, and maximum force.

 

Prof. Del Vecchio wrote a ESSR review on the neuromechanics of the rate of force development, i.e., what are the neural determinants controlling the speed of muscle force generation:

Neuromechanics of the Rate of Force Development.

 

In collaboration with the chair for Factory Automation and Production Systems (FAPS) at FAU, we published a conference paper that proposes a new tendon-driven soft exoskeleton for the human hand that can be controlled through EMG for flexion and extension tasks:

Proportional Control of a Soft Cable-Driven Exoskeleton via a Myoelectrical Interface Enables Force-Controlled Finger Motions.
