Describes preliminary work in the use of a virtual environment to derive just noticeable
differences (JNDs) for force. Specifically, we look for thresholds of force sensitivity so that we may …

Background: Individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at high risk of experiencing
secondary conditions like pressure injuries. Self-management programs may reduce the risk of …

Background: Rehospitalization rates resulting from secondary conditions in persons with
spinal cord injuries (SCI) are high. Self-management programs for many chronic conditions …

Background Globally, 1 in 3 adults live with multiple chronic conditions. Thus, effective
interventions are needed to prevent and manage these chronic conditions and to reduce the …

The last 15 years have seen the development of several robotic arms to support activity and
occupation of individuals with limb loss or motor disabilities. New, lightweight robotic arms, …

We present a robust 3-D parts-based (PB) tracking system designed to follow the upper limb
of stroke survivors during desktop activities. This system fits a probabilistic model of the arm …

We present a system to segment the medial edges of the vocal folds from stroboscopic video.
The system has two components. The first learns a color transformation that optimally …

We are interested in using a virtual environment with a robotic device to extend the strength
and mobility of people recovering from strokes by steering them beyond what they had …

Introduction Peer support is receiving increasing attention as both an effective and cost-effective
intervention method to support the self-management of chronic health conditions. Given …

While machine learning (ML) has proved impactful in many disciplines, design decisions
involved in building ML models are difficult for novices to make, and mistakes can cause harm. …
