Heart failure is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. End stage disease often requires heart transplantation, which is hampered by donor organ shortage. Tissue engineering represents a promising alternative approach for cardiac repair. For the generation of artificial heart muscle tissue several cell types, scaffold materials and bioreactor designs are under investigation. In this revi...

The field of computer and robot-assisted rehabilitation system is rooted in the principle that software must be largely errorless, userfriendly, robust, accurate with respect to data, respond in a timely manner, and yet inexpensive, which lead to enhanced patient outcomes. In this digitized age, computerized and robotic rehabilitation systems act as a vital support for disabled individuals. Til...

Rehabilitation robotics applications and their developments have been spreading out as consequences of the actual needs in the human activities of daily living (ADL). Exoskeletons for rehabilitation are one of them, whose intrinsic characteristics are quite useful for applications where repetitive, robustness and accurate performance are a must. As a part of robotic-mediatedrehabilitation progr...
