The motor system may rely on a modular organization (muscle synergies activated in time) to execute different tasks. We investigated the common control features of walking and cycling in healthy… (More)
A novel approach to view-based eye gaze tracking for human computer interface (HCI) is presented. The proposed method combines different techniques to address the problems of head motion,… (More)
This review paper provides a synthetic yet critical overview of the key biomechanical principles of human bipedal walking and their current implementation in robotic platforms. We describe the… (More)
Is voluntary motor control of mediolateral rhythmic sway ruled by modular organization? Answering this question has potential implications in diagnosis and rehabilitation of neurologically… (More)
In recent years the combined use of functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic devices, called hybrid robotic rehabilitation systems, has emerged as a promising approach for rehabilitation… (More)
Coherence estimation has been used as an indirect measure of voluntary neurocontrol of residual motor activity following spinal cord injury (SCI). Here intramuscular Tibialis Anterior (TA) coherence… (More)
In the field of robotics, there is a growing awareness of the importance of benchmarking [1], [2]. Benchmarking not only allows the assessment and comparison of the performance of different… (More)

Recent investigations on how the Motor System coordinates different tasks in humans have indicated that a low-dimensional structure of muscle synergies is sufficient to explain specific… (More)
The understanding of biomechanical deficits and impaired neural control of gait after stroke is crucial to prescribe effective customized treatments aimed at improving walking function. Instrumented… (More)
This paper presents a low cost system for the assessment, diagnosis and training of balance based on static posturography and functional electrical stimulation (FES). This system includes low cost… (More)
