TL;DR
This paper presents HJ-Pal, a wearable device that uses EMG signals and honeycomb jamming to provide kinesthetic feedback for remote muscle palpation in telerehabilitation.
Contribution
It introduces a novel EMG-driven haptic device that enables remote muscle assessment through kinesthetic feedback.
Findings
Successful demonstration of EMG-driven kinesthetic feedback
Enables remote palpation for small muscle assessment
Lightweight wearable design
Abstract
In this work, we introduce HJ-Pal, a lightweight wearable haptic device that leverages EMG-driven honeycomb jamming to render muscle activation as kinesthetic feedback, enabling remote palpation for small muscle assessment in telerehabilitation.
