Autonomous driving technology has led to an increasing preference for rearward seating postures. However, current restraint systems exhibit significant shortcomings in protecting reclined occupants. In this paper, based on the existing restraint system components, various restraint strategies were configured to enhance the protection for reclined occupants.

Many individuals with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) exhibit reduced volitional control of trunk muscles, such as impaired voluntary contractions of the erector spinae (ES), due to damage to the neural pathways regulating sensorimotor function. Studies using conventional bipolar electromyography (EMG) showed alterations in the overall, or global, activation of the trunk muscles in people with SCI. However, how activation varied across specific regions within the ES, referred to as regional activation, remains unknown.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is defined as an acute inflammatory syndrome leading to increased pulmonary capillary leakage and subsequent interstitial and alveolar pulmonary edema. Hypoxia is the predominant symptom. The definition of ARDS comprises acute onset, bilateral patchy infiltration on chest X‑ray and a reduction of the ratio of arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO) to the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO), which also determines the classification into mild (≤ 300), moderate (≤ 200) and severe (≤ 100) ARDS.

Preclinical studies have evidenced a peripheral nerve blockade with kilohertz high-frequency alternating current (KHFAC) stimulation. It could have a potential effect on aberrant nerve hyperactivity, such as tremor in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). The objective was to investigate the effects of transcutaneous KHFAC at 10 kHz compared with sham intervention on tremor modulation, upper limb motor function, and adverse events in PwPD.
