Abstract Robotics and related technologies have begun to realize their promise to improve
the delivery of rehabilitation therapy. However, the mechanism by which they enhance
recovery remains unclear. Ultimately, recovery depends on biology, yet the details of the ...

Submovements are hypothesized building blocks of human movement, discrete ballistic
movements of which more complex movements are composed. Using a novel algorithm,
submovements were extracted from the point-to-point movements of 41 persons ...

Abstract. Evidence for the existence of discrete submovements underlying continuous
human movement has motivated many attempts to “extract” them. Although they produce
visually convincing results, all of the methodologies that have been employed are prone to ...

Footwear comprises a sole and a plurality of sealed cavities contained within the sole. The
sealed cavities can be incorporated as deformable containers within an elastic medium,
comprising the sole. A plurality of micro electro-mechanical system (MEMS) pressure ...

Abstract—S-Learning is a sequence-based learning algorithm patterned on human motor
behavior. Discrete-time and quantized sensory information is amassed in real-time to form a
dynamic model of the system being controlled and its environment. No explicit model is ...

Abstract—Current models of human motor learning and control typically employ continuous
(or near continuous) movement commands and sensory information. However, research
suggests that voluntary motor commands are issued in discrete-time submovements. ...

Abstract Motivated by the discrete nature of motor commands and perception in humans, a
Brain-Emulating Cognition and Control Architecture (BECCA) is developed. Sensory events
and motor commands that are discrete in time and quantized in magnitude are the inputs ...

Smoothness is characteristic of coordinated human movements, and stroke patients'
movements seem to grow more smooth with recovery. A robotic therapy device was used to
analyze five different measures of movement smoothness in the hemiparetic arm of thirty- ...
