To unravel the underlying mechanisms of human balance control, system identification techniques are applied in combination with dedicated perturbations, like support surface translations. However, it remains unclear what the optimal amplitude and number of repetitions of the perturbation signal are.

Assistive robotic arms have become popular to help users with upper limb disabilities achieve autonomy in their daily tasks, such as drinking and grasping objects in general. Usually, these robotic arms are controlled with an adapted joystick. Joysticks are user-friendly when it comes to a general approach to an object.

Peripheral nerve cuff electrodes (NCEs) in motor system neuroprostheses can generate strong muscle contractions and enhance surgical efficiency by accessing multiple muscles from a single proximal location.
