Investigation of Fatigue Using Different EMG Features.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitative exercise for people suffering from upper limb impairments has the potential to improve their neuro-plasticity due to repetitive training. Our study investigates the usefulness of Electroencephalogram and Electromyogram (EMG) signals fo...

Assessment of human wrist rigidity and pain in post-traumatic patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The aim of this work is to present a novel robot-based method to assess the sources of a lack of functionality in patients with recent traumatic wrist injuries. Post-traumatic patients experience limited range of motion as well as strength and propri...

Design of a 3D Printed Soft Robotic Hand for Stroke Rehabilitation and Daily Activities Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present the new personalized 3D printed soft robotic hand for providing rehabilitation training and daily activities assistance to stroke survivors. The Soft-Elastic Composite Actuator (SECA) on the robotic hand is direct 3D printed...

Voice Control Interface Prototype for Assistive Robots for People Living with Upper Limb Disabilities.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a voice control interface prototype for assistive robots aiming to help people living with upper limb disabilities to perform daily activities autonomously. Assistive robotic devices can be used to help people with upper-body disa...

Towards Data-Driven Autonomous Robot-Assisted Physical Rehabilitation Therapy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Task-oriented therapy consists of three stages: demonstration, observation and assistance. While demonstration using robots has been extensively studied, the other two stages rarely involve robots. This paper focuses on the transition between observa...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Sensorimotor Mechanisms of Inter-Leg Coordination in Gait Using the Variable Stiffness Treadmill: Physiological Insights for Improved Robot-Assisted Gait Therapy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitation robotics is an emerging field in which gait training has been largely automated allowing more intensive, repetitive motions which are important for facilitating recovery. However, there is no clear evidence that robot-assisted gait tra...

Energy Density and Hysteresis Comparison in Natural Rubber Tube Springs for Wearable Exoskeleton Applications.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Wearable exoskeletons show promise as a means for compensating lost function as well as for providing optimal assistance for maximal therapeutic benefit during everyday tasks. Development of lightweight spring systems for efficient storage and return...

Pedbothome: Robotically-Assisted Ankle Rehabilitation System For Children With Cerebral Palsy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Our research team has developed two versions of an ankle robot for children with cerebral palsy. Both devices provide three degrees of freedom and are connected to an airplane video game. The child uses his/her foot as the controller for the plane an...

Towards an ankle neuroprosthesis for hybrid robotics: Concepts and current sources for functional electrical stimulation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hybrid rehabilitation robotics combine neuro-prosthetic devices (close-loop functional electrical stimulation systems) and traditional robotic structures and actuators to explore better therapies and promote a more efficient motor function recovery o...

MoBio: A 5 DOF trans-humeral robotic prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, a 5 DOF trans-humeral robotic prosthesis: MoBio is proposed. MoBio includes 2 DOF at wrist which is rare in other trans-humeral prostheses. Through anthropometric features MoBio prosthetic arm can achieve elbow flexion/extension, forea...
