Adaptive and Autonomous Switching: Shared Control of Powered Prosthetic Arms Using Reinforcement Learning
DownloadFall 2016
Powered prosthetic arms with numerous controllable functions (i.e., grip patterns or movable joints) can be challenging to operate. Gated control---a common control method for myoelectric arms and other human-machine interfaces---allows users to select a function by switching through a static...

The Use of Movement-Based Tests for the Prediction of Non-Contact Low Back Injuries in Uninjured Military Personnel: A six-month prospective cohort study
DownloadFall 2021
Abstract Background Low back pain (LBP) is the most reported musculoskeletal complaint in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). By identifying low-tech movement-based tests that predict risk of future non-contact low back injury (LBI), we could create an easy to administer screening test. It may then...
