2017 journal article

Usability Comparison of Conventional Direct Control Versus Pattern Recognition Control of Transradial Prostheses

IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON HUMAN-MACHINE SYSTEMS, 47(6), 1146–1157.

By: M. White n, W. Zhang n, A. Winslow n, M. Zahabi*, F. Zhang *, H. Huang n , D. Kaber n

Contributors: M. White n, W. Zhang n, A. Winslow n, M. Zahabi*, F. Zhang *, H. Huang n , D. Kaber n

author keywords: Biomedical signal; Human factors; Man-machine systems; prosthetics
TL;DR: Empirical efficacy of using eye-tracking-based measures of cognitive load and standardize test paradigms for assessment of upper limb prosthetic usability is illustrated and supports PR prosthetic device control as an intuitive alternative to DC. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 conference paper

Cognitive workload in conventional direct control vs. pattern recognition control of an upper-limb prosthesis

Ieee international conference on systems man and cybernetics conference, 2335–2340.

By: W. Zhang n, M. White n, M. Zahabi n, A. Winslow n, F. Zhang  n, H. Huang n , D. Kaber n

Contributors: W. Zhang n, M. White n, M. Zahabi n, A. Winslow n, F. Zhang  n, H. Huang n , D. Kaber n

TL;DR: This study provided evidence of both performance and workload advantages of PR control over DC control and identified a new effective measure of cognitive workload in upper limb prosthesis use via pupillography. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 journal article

Muscle loading in exoskeletal orthotic use in an activity of daily living

APPLIED ERGONOMICS, 58, 190–197.

By: M. White n, O. Morejon n, S. Liu n, M. Lau n, C. Nam n  & D. Kaber n

author keywords: Surface electromyography; Stroke rehabilitation; Orthotics
TL;DR: Results suggest that heavier upper-extremity orthotics could cause undesirable effects in terms of muscle loading, performance and exertion; such adverse effects could potentially lead to lack of use during patient's rehabilitation. (via Semantic Scholar)
