Background: Robot-assisted microsurgery (RAMS) is gradually becoming the preferred method for some delicate surgical procedures. However, the lack of haptic feedback reduces the safety of the surgery. Surgeons are unable to feel the grasping force between surgical instruments and the patient's tissues, which can easily lead to grasping failure or tissue damage.
Methods: This paper proposes a tendon-driven grasping force feedback mechanism, consisting of a follower hand and a leader hand, to address the lack of grasping force feedback in flexible surgical robots. Considering the friction in the tendon transmission process, a grasping force estimation model is established for the follower hand. The admittance control model is designed for force/position control of the leader hand.
Results: Through experimental validation, it has been confirmed that the grasping force sensing range of the follower hand is 0.5-5 N, with a sensing accuracy of 0.3 N. The leader hand is capable of providing feedback forces in the range of 0-5 N, with a static force accuracy of 0.1 N.
Conclusions: The designed mechanism and control strategy can provide the grasping force feedback function. Future work will focus on improving force feedback performance.
Trial Registration: This research has no clinical trials.

Real-world implementation of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) for continuous control of devices should ideally rely on fully asynchronous decoding approaches. That is, the decoding algorithm should continuously update its output by estimating the user's intended actions from real-time neural activity, without the need for any temporal alignment to an external cue. This kind of open-ended temporal flexibility is necessary to achieve naturalistic and intuitive control, but presents a challenge: how do we know when it is appropriate to decode anything at all? Activity in motor cortex is dynamic and modulates with many different types of actions (proximal arm control, hand control, speech, etc.

Background And Purpose: Anticipatory postural adjustments (APA) and compensatory postural adjustments (CPA) have played a vital role in postural control since early childhood, which is critical to accomplishing activities in daily life. However, literature indicated dissimilarities and inconsistencies in APA and CPA analysis in sitting and standing positions in children with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Thus, this study analyzed the changes in postural control (APA and CPA) through the postural muscles [rectus abdominis (RA) and erector spinae (ES)] in both standing and sitting positions during functional activities (grasping a ball) in children with CP.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of hand muscle fatigue on finger control and force efficiency during piano performance, which is crucial for skilled piano playing among professional pianists engaged in prolonged periods of high-intensity practice or concert preparation. Thirty-one professional pianists were recruited as participants. This study was divided into three sequential experimental parts: pre-fatigue test, fatigue protocol, and post-fatigue test.
