Sensorimotor impairments, resulting from conditions like stroke and amputations, can profoundly impact an individual’s functional abilities and overall quality of life. Assistive and rehabilitation devices such as prostheses, exo-skeletons, and serious gaming in virtual environments can help to restore some degree of function and alleviate pain aft...

Training sensory discrimination of the skin has the potential to reduce chronic pain due to sensorimotor impairments and increase sensorimotor function. Currently, there is no such device that can systematically provide rich skin stimulation suitable for a training protocol for individuals with amputation or major sensory impairment. This study des...

Introduction Neuropathic pain is a complex and demanding medical condition that is often difficult to treat. Regardless of the cause, the impairment, lesion or damage to the nervous system can lead to neuropathic pain, such as phantom limb pain (PLP). No treatment has been found widely effective for PLP, but plasticity-guided therapies have shown t...

Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a complex medical condition that is often difficult to treat, and thus can become detrimental to patients’ quality of life. No standardized clinical treatments exist and there is no conclusive understanding of the underlying mechanisms causing it. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has been used to find correlations bet...

Neuropathic pain is a complex and demanding medical condition that is often difficult to treat. Regardless the cause of impairment, lesion or damage of the nervous system can lead to neuropathic pain, such as Phantom Limb Pain (PLP). No treatment has been found widely effective for PLP but guided plasticity therapies have shown the least severe sid...

In this paper, a full mandibular CT-scan in a specific patient is used to model BSSO surgery. The purpose is to compare the three most common fixation methods which are used in BSSO surgery by finite element method. Three different fixations are studied in order to obtain the minimum displacement of the lower jaw and optimum stress and strain on th...
