  2. 1. First-principle data-driven models for assessment of motor disorders in Parkinson’s disease

    Author : Taha Khan; Peter Funk; Mark Dougherty; Jerker Westin; Shahina Begum; Gunnar Klein; Mälardalens högskola; []
    Keywords : Computer Science; datavetenskap; Complex Systems – Microdata Analysis;

    Abstract : Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an increasing neurological disorder in an aging society. The motor and non-motor symptoms of PD advance with the disease progression and occur in varying frequency and duration. In order to affirm the full extent of a patient’s condition, repeated assessments are necessary to adjust medical prescription. READ MORE

  4. 2. Structural and functional changes in the brain after surgically repaired median nerve injury

    Author : Per F. Nordmark; Roland S. Johansson; Henrik Ehrsson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Humans; Hand; Touch; Peripheral nerve injury; Magnetic resonance imaging; Somatosensory Cortex; Cortical plasticity; fysiologi; Physiology; handkirurgi; hand surgery;

    Abstract : Despite the best available surgical repair, traumatic median nerve injury within the forearm typically causes lifelong impairment in hand function. This stems from an inadequate reinnervation of the nerves supporting sensory functions of the thumb, index and long finger, and of nerves supplying intrinsic hand muscles. READ MORE

  5. 3. To grip and not to slip : sensorimotor mechanisms in reactive control of grasp stability

    Author : Charlotte Häger Ross; Roland S. Johansson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; human; hand; precision grip; grasp force; friction; cutaneous mechanoreceptors; sensorimotor integration; motor control;

    Abstract : The reactive control of fingertip forces maintaining grasp stability was examined in man during a prehensile task. Blindfolded subjects used the precision grip between the tips of index finger and thumb to restrain an object that was subjected to unpredictable load forces. These were delivered tangential to the parallel grip surfaces of the object. READ MORE

  6. 4. Vision-based Perception For Autonomous Robotic Manipulation

    Author : Dinh-Cuong Hoang; Todor Stoyanov; Achim Lilienthal; Per-Erik Forssén; Örebro universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In order to safely and effectively operate in real-world unstructured environments where a priori knowledge of the surroundings is not available, robots must have adequate perceptual capabilities. This thesis is concerned with several important aspects of vision-based perception for autonomous robotic manipulation. READ MORE
