Cheng K, Williams H, Shehata A, Pilarski P, Chapman C, Hebert J
J Neuroeng Rehabil . 2025 Mar; 22(1):57. PMID: 40075405
Background: Prosthesis users often rely on vision to monitor the activity of their prosthesis, which can be cognitively demanding. This compensatory visual behaviour may be attributed to an absence of...

Williams H, Shehata A, Cheng K, Hebert J, Pilarski P
PLoS One . 2024 May; 19(5):e0291279. PMID: 38739557
Upper limb robotic (myoelectric) prostheses are technologically advanced, but challenging to use. In response, substantial research is being done to develop person-specific prosthesis controllers that can predict a user's intended...

Williams H, Hebert J, Pilarski P, Shehata A
IEEE Int Conf Rehabil Robot . 2023 Nov; 2023:1-6. PMID: 37941199
Position-aware myoelectric prosthesis controllers require long, data-intensive training routines. Transfer Learning (TL) might reduce training burden. A TL model can be pre-trained using forearm muscle signal data from many individuals...

Williams H, Gunther J, Hebert J, Pilarski P, Shehata A
IEEE Int Conf Rehabil Robot . 2022 Sep; 2022:1-6. PMID: 36176130
To mitigate the "limb position effect" that hinders myoelectric upper limb prosthesis control, pattern recognition-based models must accurately predict user-intended movements across a multitude of limb positions. Such models can...

Williams H, Aiyar L, Dinulos M, Flannery D, McClure M, Lloyd-Puryear M, et al.
Genet Med . 2022 Aug; 24(11):2211-2219. PMID: 36040445

Hayami N, Williams H, Shibagaki K, Vette A, Suzuki Y, Nakazawa K, et al.
IEEE Trans Neural Syst Rehabil Eng . 2022 Jun; 30:1642-1651. PMID: 35709114
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) can be used to initiate lower limb muscle contractions and has been widely applied in gait rehabilitation. Establishing the correct timing of FES activation during each...

Marasco P, Hebert J, Sensinger J, Beckler D, Thumser Z, Shehata A, et al.
Sci Robot . 2021 Sep; 6(58):eabf3368. PMID: 34516746
Bionic prostheses have restorative potential. However, the complex interplay between intuitive motor control, proprioception, and touch that represents the hallmark of human upper limb function has not been revealed. Here,...

Williams H, Chapman C, Pilarski P, Vette A, Hebert J
J Neuroeng Rehabil . 2021 May; 18(1):72. PMID: 33933105
Background: Research studies on upper limb prosthesis function often rely on the use of simulated myoelectric prostheses (attached to and operated by individuals with intact limbs), primarily to increase participant...

Liehr T, Williams H, Ziegler M, Kankel S, Padutsch N, Al-Rikabi A
Mol Cytogenet . 2021 Feb; 14(1):13. PMID: 33632263
Small supernumerary marker chromosomes (sSMCs) are additional derivative chromosomes present in an otherwise numerically and structurally normal karyotype. They may derive from each of the 24 human chromosomes, and most...
