A three-degrees-of-freedom measurement system based on the Faraday effect is proposed for simultaneously measuring two-dimensional straightness errors and their position. Thanks to the Faraday effect of the Faraday rotator, the direction of a linearly polarized beam can be changed by 90° when the linearly polarized beam passes through the same Faraday rotator back and forth twice. A novel optical configuration is designed that can integrate the interferometry and position-sensitive detection technology ingeniously and put their advantages together. The measurement principle is described in detail. The influence of angle error of the semitransparent mirror on straightness measurement is discussed. To verify the feasibility of the proposed system, the experimental setup for measuring three degrees of freedom was constructed, and a series of experiments were carried out.

The human need for rehabilitation, assistance, and augmentation has led to the development and use of wearable exoskeletons. Upper limb exoskeletons under research and development are tested on human volunteers to gauge performance and usability. Direct testing can often cause straining of the joints, especially the shoulder joint, which is the most important and flexible joint in the upper extremity of the human body.

Ankle rehabilitation robots can offer tailored rehabilitation training, and facilitate the functional recovery of patients. Accurate estimation of the actively exerted torque from the ankle joint complex (AJC) can increase the engagement of patients during rehabilitation training. Given the three degrees of freedom (DOFs) of AJC and its coupled motion, it becomes essential to accurately estimate the actively exerted torque under multi-DOF.

Hybrid continuous-variable (CV) and discrete-variable (DV) entanglement is an essential quantum resource of hybrid quantum information processing, which enables one to overcome the intrinsic limitations of CV and DV quantum protocols. Besides CV and DV quantum variables, introducing more degrees of freedom provides a feasible approach to increase the information carried by the entangled state. Among all the degrees of freedom of photons, orbital angular momentum (OAM) has potential applications in enhancing the communication capacity of quantum communication and precision of quantum measurement.

Background: Motion complexity is necessary for adapting to external changes, but little is known about trunk motion complexity during seated perturbation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). We aimed to investigate changes following SCI in trunk segmental motion complexity across different perturbation directions and how they affect postural control ability in individuals with SCI.
Methods: A total of 17 individuals with SCI and 18 healthy controls participated in challenging sagittal-seated perturbations with hand protection.
