Aging is on the verge of a new era. Humans are approaching old age in unprecedented numbers. Increases in the prevalence of age-related diseases, frailty, and disability are visible signs of this historic demographic shift affecting the incidence and prevalence of osteoporotic fractures. Therefore, ...
Critical to the advancement of bionic technology that emulates or extends normal physiological function is the design of tissue-synthetic interfaces connecting the human body with electromechanics. In this talk, I describe research activities underway to advance mechanical and electrical interfaces ...
Movement is critical to both our cognitive and physical health. As our lifestyles have become more sedentary, running has become one of the most popular ways to remain fit. Unfortunately, running injuries are common with 30-40% of runners becoming injured in a given year. With nearly 60 million Amer...
