Introduction The measurement of quadriceps strength is crucial for various clinical applications. However, tra-ditional isokinetic dynamometers are expensive and bulky. Handheld dynamometers represent ...

Here’s what to know about symptoms and treatment of the infection. By Simar Bajaj Every summer and into fall, hand, foot and mouth disease makes the rounds in schools, playgrounds and day cares. But ...

Abstract Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) has been increasingly studied and associated with prognostic factors of negative outcomes during the hospitalization of critically ill patients.

Objective We aimed to determine hip and lower-leg muscle strength in people after ACL injury compared with an uninjured control group (between people) and the uninjured contralateral limb (between ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...

A groundbreaking development has come from researchers at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. They've created a biohybrid hand, a fusion of lab-grown muscle tissue and mechanical ...

Scientists in Japan have developed a robotic hand eerily reminiscent of The Terminator. The innovation marks a major step toward realistic prosthetics, moving us closer to sci-fi-style robotic limbs.

Combining lab-grown muscle tissue with a series of flexible mechanical joints has led to the development of an artificial hand that can grip and make gestures. The breakthrough shows the way forward ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been built by a team at the University of Tokyo and Waseda University in Japan. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown ...

A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a scissor gesture has been created. The researchers used thin strings of lab-grown muscle tissue bundled into sushilike rolls to give the fingers enough ...

The complex combination of movements required for this simple scissor gesture is a big step up from the capabilities of previous biohybrid robots. A biohybrid hand which can move objects and do a ...

Objective This study aimed to investigate how knee extensor and flexor strength change over time after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Design Systematic review with longitudinal meta ...
