A multichannel-near-infrared-spectroscopy-triggered robotic hand rehabilitation system for stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
There is a demand for a new neurorehabilitation modality with a brain-computer interface for stroke patients with insufficient or no remaining hand motor function. We previously developed a robotic hand rehabilitation system triggered by multichannel...

Improving robotic stroke rehabilitation by incorporating neural intent detection: Preliminary results from a clinical trial.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the preliminary findings of a multi-year clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of adding a brain-machine interface (BMI) to the MAHI-Exo II, a robotic upper limb exoskeleton, for elbow flexion/extension rehabilitation in chr...

Application of support vector machines in detecting hand grasp gestures using a commercially off the shelf wireless myoelectric armband.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The propose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using support vector machines in analysing myoelectric signals acquired using an off the shelf device, the Myo armband from Thalmic Lab, when performing hand grasp gestures. Participants (n =...

A novel method for muscle fatigue assessment during robot-based tracking tasks.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this work we propose a novel method based on sEMG signals, easy and fast to perform, administered with a robotic device to maximize repeatability and objectivity. Muscle fatigue, which is frequently experienced by healthy subjects, can be a highly...

Improving motor skill transfer during dyadic robot training through the modulation of the expert role.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In daily life it is necessary to learn skills that can be applied in different tasks and different contexts. Usually these skills are acquired by observation or by direct physical training with another expert person. The critical point is to know whi...

Feedforward model based arm weight compensation with the rehabilitation robot ARMin.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Highly impaired stroke patients at early stages of recovery are unable to generate enough muscle force to lift the weight of their own arm. Accordingly, task-related training is strongly limited or even impossible. However, as soon as partial or full...

Maintaining subject engagement during robotic rehabilitation with a minimal assist-as-needed (mAAN) controller.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
One challenge of robotic rehabilitation interventions is devising ways to encourage and maintain high levels of subject involvement over long duration therapy sessions. Assist-as-needed controllers have been proposed which modulate robot intervention...

Position and torque control via rehabilitation robot and functional electrical stimulation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Two common rehabilitation therapies for individuals possessing neurological conditions are functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic assistance. This paper focuses on combining the two rehabilitation strategies for use on the biceps brachii...

A novel pneumatic stimulator for the investigation of noise-enhanced proprioception.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Executing coordinated movements requires that motor and sensory systems cooperate to achieve a motor goal. Impairment of either system may lead to unstable and/or inaccurate movements. In rehabilitation training, however, most approaches have focused...

A pilot study on the optimal speeds for passive wrist movements by a rehabilitation robot of stroke patients: A functional NIRS study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The optimal conditions inducing proper brain activation during performance of rehabilitation robots should be examined to enhance the efficiency of robot rehabilitation based on the concept of brain plasticity. In this study, we attempted to investig...
