Interaction force and motion estimators facilitating impedance control of the upper limb rehabilitation robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In order to enhance the performance of rehabilitation robots, it is imperative to know both force and motion caused by the interaction between user and robot. However, common direct measurement of both signals through force and motion sensors not onl...

Randomized, sham-controlled trial based on transcranial direct current stimulation and wrist robot-assisted integrated treatment on subacute stroke patients: Intermediate results.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The main goal of this study is to analyse the effects of combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and wrist robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke patients. Twenty-four patients were included in this study and randomly assigned to t...

Rehabilitation for hemiplegia using an upper limb training system based on a force direction.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hemiplegia patients have complete paralysis of half their body, and encounter many challenges in living an independent life. Rehabilitation of the lower body is more important than that of the upper body for independent living; thus, recovering upper...

Effect of human-robot interaction on muscular synergies on healthy people and post-stroke chronic patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted training is a widely used technique to promote motor re-learning on post-stroke patients that suffer from motor impairment. While it is commonly accepted that robot-based therapies are potentially helpful, strong insights about their e...

Automation of motor dexterity assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motor dexterity assessment is regularly performed in rehabilitation wards to establish patient status and automatization for such routinary task is sought. A system for automatizing the assessment of motor dexterity based on the Fugl-Meyer scale and ...

MIT-Skywalker: Evaluating comfort of bicycle/saddle seat.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The MIT-Skywalker is a robotic device developed for the rehabilitation of gait and balance after a neurological injury. This device has been designed based on the concept of a passive walker and provides three distinct training modes: discrete moveme...

Clinical effectiveness of combined virtual reality and robot assisted fine hand motion rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted therapy is regarded as an effective and reliable method for the delivery of highly repetitive rehabilitation training in restoring motor skills after a stroke. This study focuses on the rehabilitation of fine hand motion skills due to ...

Gait assessment system based on novel gait variability measures.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, a novel gait assessment system based on measures of gait variability reflected through the variability of shapes of gait cycles trajectories is proposed. The presented gait assessment system is based on SVM (support vector machine) cla...

Comparison of kinematic and EMG parameters between unassisted, fixed- and adaptive-stiffness robotic-assisted ankle movements in post-stroke subjects.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present an assist-as-needed scheme that effectively adapted the assistance provided by an ankle rehabilitation robot according to patient's participation and performance during therapeutic movements. We performed an error-based esti...

On the stiffness analysis of a cable driven leg exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic systems are being used for gait rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorder. These devices are externally powered to apply external forces on human limbs to assist the leg motion. Patients while walking with these devices adapt thei...
