Home-Based Cognitively Assistive Robots: Maximizing Cognitive Functioning and Maintaining Independence in Older Adults Without Dementia.

Clinical interventions in aging
Promoting health and prolonging independence in the home is a priority for older adults, caregivers, clinicians, and society at large. Rapidly developing robotics technology provides a platform for interventions, with the fields of physically and soc...

Learning personalized ADL recognition models from few raw data.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Recognition of activities of daily living (ADL) is an essential component of assisted living systems based on actigraphy. This task can nowadays be performed by machine learning models which are able to automatically extract and learn relevant featur...

Robot-assisted therapy for upper-limb rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Brain and behavior
BACKGROUND: Stroke survivors often experience upper-limb motor deficits and achieve limited motor recovery within six months after the onset of stroke. We aimed to systematically review the effects of robot-assisted therapy (RT) in comparison to usua...

Can robotic gait rehabilitation plus Virtual Reality affect cognitive and behavioural outcomes in patients with chronic stroke? A randomized controlled trial involving three different protocols.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: The rehabilitation of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities in individuals with stroke is essential for promoting patient's recovery and autonomy. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of robotic neurorehabilitation using Lokom...

Age-Related Differences in the Uncanny Valley Effect.

Gerontology
BACKGROUND: Due to declining birthrates and an increasing aging population, shortage of the caregiving labor force has become a global issue. Among various efforts toward the solution, introducing robotic products for assistance could provide an effe...

Elbow angle generation during activities of daily living using a submovement prediction model.

Biological cybernetics
The present study aimed to develop a realistic model for the generation of human activities of daily living (ADL) movements. The angular profiles of the elbow joint during functional ADL tasks such as eating and drinking were generated by a submoveme...

A Lean and Performant Hierarchical Model for Human Activity Recognition Using Body-Mounted Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Here we propose a new machine learning algorithm for classification of human activities by means of accelerometer and gyroscope signals. Based on a novel hierarchical system of logistic regression classifiers and a relatively small set of features ex...

The fourier M2 robotic machine combined with occupational therapy on post-stroke upper limb function and independence-related quality of life: A randomized clinical trial.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
Most post-stroke patients experience upper limb functionality challenges. Emergent therapies using upper limb-based robot machines present opportunities to resolve the limitations inherent in Occupational therapy such as increased therapist-patient e...
