Technical and Clinical Validation of the WPM-SEMG Prototype
The study consists of two parts: - the first part concerns the technical validation of the prototype. It will enrol 10 healthy volunteers (Technical Validation Group). - the second part concerns the clinical validation of the prototype in comparison with the gold standard, that is the needle-EMG. It will enrol 50 healthy volunteers (Clinical Validation Group), including also the 10 subjects of the Technical Validation Group, and 20 patients Measurements will be done on 4 muscles with the WPM-SEMG device prototype using a rigid electrode matrix. For each muscle, the participant will execute some spontaneous motor activities and measurements will be taken on the muscle under tension (low, medium, and high) for a total of 12 measurements. Measurements will be repeated two times after a pause for a total of 24 acquisitions. For the group with myopathies an additional fifth muscle, not foreseen by the protocol, can be done if considered the clinical most affected muscle followingthe neurological examination. A control intervention is done on the same subjects and consists in a needle-EMG which will be applied as for routine clinical practice on the same muscles used for the WPM-SEMG device prototype. Measurements will be taken for each muscles as for the rigid matrix.

Feasibility and Cost of Robot-assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation with Different Levels of Supervision
The ReHandyBot is a platform for hand rehabilitation with two degrees of freedom, namely forearm pronation/supination and finger flexion/extension. This device allows performing exercises targeting somatosensation and motor functions. Different exercises are implemented using virtual reality and haptic feedback; the interaction forces between subjects and ReHandyBot are measured by force sensors in the handles, allowing the control of a virtual hand and the physical interaction with the virtual environment. Mechanical properties (e.g., size, stiffness) of the objects displayed in the virtual environment are rendered by the motion/force of the instrumented handles. The type and difficulty level of the exercises are patient-specific and are automatically adapted throughout the therapy. The duration and frequency of the therapy sessions with ReHandyBot depend on the specific patient's needs and are set according to the therapist's instructions. The main goals of this study are to: (i) Evaluate the feasibility of integrating ReHandyBot into the routine of rehabilitation clinics and ambulatories. (ii) Perform a cost-benefit analysis of supervised, minimally supervised, and unsupervised therapy with the device. The secondary goals are to investigate: (iii) The intensity of use of ReHandyBot by the facilities. (iv) The increase in therapy dose for the patients using the device minimally or unsupervised compared to usual care. (v) The quantity and characteristics of patients who can train supervised, minimally, or unsupervised with the device. (vi) Usability and user experience. All the patients admitted to the clinic or ambulatory will be screened for participation in this study. Eligible patients will receive robot-assisted therapy sessions with the ReHandyBot in parallel to their conventional therapy program. During therapy with ReHandyBot, the patient sits comfortably on a chair in front of a screen and places the fingers of the impaired hand on the handles of the device. The eligibility of the patients will be checked during the admission visit, after which, for eligible patients, a trial session with ReHandyBot will be scheduled. During the trial session, the supervising therapist will decide if the patient can really benefit from training with ReHandyBot, and if yes, the therapist will integrate supervised therapy sessions with the device into the therapy schedule of the patient. Then, during the supervised sessions, the therapist will use a checklist to decide if a patient can train minimally supervised (i.e., group sessions) or unsupervised. If this will be the case, the minimally or unsupervised therapy sessions will be added to the therapy schedule of the patient. The therapy sessions with ReHandyBot (e.g., frequency, duration) will be scheduled based on the therapist's instruction and may vary between patients, depending on their specific needs. On the day of the last session with ReHandyBot, patients will fill in questionnaires to rate its usability and user experience. For each recruited patient, data regarding demographics, medical condition, clinical and cognitive assessments, therapy dose, and device data will be recorded on the CRF. Medical and assessment data will be data routinely collected at the clinic and ambulatory. We will not perform evaluations specifically for this study. At the end of the study, data regarding costs, intensity of use, and device retention will be recorded.

Prospective, Multicenter, Single-Arm Observational Study to Confirm the Safety and Clinical Performance of the Oscar Peripheral Multifunctional Catheter for the Dilatation of Lesions in the Femoral, Popliteal and Infrapopliteal Arteries (BIO-OSCAR First)
This is a prospective, multicenter, all-comers observational study. Primary endpoint was procedural success (defined as a combination of successful primary target lesion crossing, residual stenosis of ≤30% following vessel preparation and before definite treatment) and absence of procedural complications (defined as target vessel perforation or rupture, acute occlusion, and distal embolization).
