Controlling Maximal Voluntary Contraction of the Upper Limb Muscles by Facial Electrical Stimulation
CHI '18: Proceedings of the 2018 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsIn this paper, we propose to use facial electrical stimulation to control maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) of the upper limbs. The method is based on a body mechanism in which the contraction of the masseter muscles enhances MVC of the limb muscles. ...
Flexing Muscles in Virtual Reality: Effects of Avatars' Muscular Appearance on Physical Performance
CHI PLAY '20: Proceedings of the Annual Symposium on Computer-Human Interaction in PlayVirtual reality (VR) allows users to embody any possible avatar. Previous work found that the appearance of avatars can change our perception and behavior. Such behavioral changes based on stereotypical assessments are known as the Proteus effect. ...
Motor Unit Number Reductions in Paretic Muscles of Stroke Survivors
The objective of this study is to assess whether there is evidence of spinal motoneuron loss in paretic muscles of stroke survivors, using an index measurement called motor unit number index (MUNIX). MUNIX, a recently developed novel neurophysiological ...
