Development and testing of a prototype of a dental extraction trainer with real-time feedback on forces, torques, and angular velocity

The need for a training modality for tooth extraction procedures is increasing, as dental students do not feel properly trained. In this study, a prototype of a training setup is designed, in which extraction procedures can be performed on jaw models and cadaveric jaws. The prototype was designed in a way that it can give real-time feedback on...

Towards Unsupervised Rehabilitation: Development of a Portable Compliant Device for Sensorimotor Hand Rehabilitation

Sensorimotor impairments of the hand after stroke can drastically reduce the ability to perform activities of daily living. Recently, there has been an increased interest in minimally supervised and unsupervised rehabilitation to increase therapy dosage and to complement conventional therapy. Several devices have been developed that are...
