This paper introduces MyoKi, a database capturing multimodal myography and hand kinematics during various realistic daily life activities. MyoKi emphasizes the complexity of real-world settings, addressing limitations of existing databases, which often reflect controlled laboratory conditions. The database includes two subsets of participants designed to evaluate different sensor configurations. Both subsets contain surface electromyography (sEMG) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) data, along with hand kinematics covering 18 finger and wrist joints. For the second subset, additional force myography (FMG) data was collected. The database captures hand movements of 35 participants performing 74 tasks, with varying arm orientations and movements involving different grips and motions. By offering detailed participant profiles and systematically categorizing each task, the MyoKi database enables in-depth exploration of task complexity, sensor influence, and the impact of demographic and anthropometric factors on control system performance. The database is designed to facilitate research in continuous hand control, enhancing the robustness and reliability of myoelectric devices for daily activities, moving towards user-friendly and effective control of robotic and prosthetic hands.

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are essential pollinators threatened by sublethal effects of pesticides such as imidacloprid, a widely used neonicotinoid that disrupts the central nervous system. However, many of the systemic effects are poorly understood, especially on the physiological homeostasis of the honey bee. We evaluated the effects of oral administration of imidacloprid and the flavonol rutin on the properties of extracellular fluid (ECF) in Apis mellifera.

Objective: Current evaluation of robotic surgeon proficiency relies on subjective assessment. The robotic platform collects highly granular kinematic data on surgeon activity, known as objective performance indicators (OPIs). We sought to compare surgeon proficiency during lobectomies across training levels using OPIs.

Background: Effects of ground surface and hoof angles on equine cervical and thoracolumbosacral kinematics are poorly understood. However, the equine cervical and thoracolumbosacral areas present frequent lesions and he management of factors that might improve treatment and rehabilitation outcomes, such as ground surface and hoof angles, requires more investigation.
Aims: Our objectives were to determine the influence of ground surface (asphalt versus sand) and a 3 degrees hind toe or heel elevation on cervical and thoracolumbosacral kinematics during walking and trotting.

Forensic identification at fire scenes faces three core challenges: distinguishing cause of death (antemortem burning versus postmortem corpse burning), reconstructing criminal behavior (arson versus accident), and preserving evidence (thermal destruction versus artificial tampering). This case study systematically demonstrates the application value of burn trace characteristics in arson investigation through a typical intentional homicide and corpse burning case. Based on a three-dimensional analytical framework of human burn-behavioral characteristics, a systematic pathway incorporating reconstruction of arson/corpse burning processes and identification of body relocation behavior was established.

However, collecting robust biomechanics hand data is a time intensive process leading to a lack of widely available datasets. To address this issue the biomechanics hand modeling database (BHaM) was made as a collection of experimental data to aid the development, testing, and validation of musculoskeletal models and simulations.
