Rehabilitation

We show that the effects of fatigue on muscle coordination and neural drive can be reliably characterized using a non-parametric functional muscle network. The network demonstrated a consistent decrease in connectivity after the fatigue intervention, as indicated by network degree, weighted clustering coefficient (WCC), and global efficiency. The graph metrics displayed consistent and significant decreases at the group level, individual subject level, and individual muscle level. The proposed approach has the potential to be a sensitive biomarker of fatigue with superior performance to conventional spectrotemporal measures.

We show that InfoMuNet, a novel functional biomarker based on a nonlinear network graph of muscle connectivity, can quantify the role of sensory information on motor performance. We demonstrate its potential use in precision rehabilitation interventions.

We explored the potential of a functional muscle network to differentiate vocal tasks. The network robustly differentiated vocal tasks, while classic muscle activation assessment failed to differentiate. The study also discovered tasks with the highest network involvement, which may be utilized in the future to monitor voice disorders and rehabilitation.

This project explores how sensory feedback can enhance motor control during desk cycling, with applications in rehabilitation and workplace wellness. The research focuses on optimizing user experience and therapeutic benefits through intelligent feedback systems.
