Occupational rehabilitation is an integral part of the recovery process for workers who have sustained injuries at the workplace. It often requires the injured worker to engage in functional tasks that simulate the workplace environment to help regain their functional capabilities and allow for a return to employment. We present a system comprised of a robotic arm for recreating the physical dynam...
In this paper, we propose a wrist rehabilitation robot employing a novel actuation mechanism composed of electromagnetic clutch, brake, and motor and a safe-related mechanism. The actuation mechanism of the robot can perform both passive and active rehabilitation by the same mechanism. A torque sensor is also coupled to the actuation mechanism so as to measure the wrist joint moment in real-time. ...
