Robot-Aided Upper-limb Proprioceptive Training in Three-Dimensional Space.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Proprioception, the ability to sense body position and limb movements in space without visual feedback, is one of the key factors in controlling body movements and performing activities of daily living. However, this capability might be affected afte...

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...

Impedance Model of the Interaction Between Environment and Human Body and Its Modification Design.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a model of environment-human body interaction, which is critical for us to perform balanced motions such as locomotion and activities of daily living while standing. Specifically, movement smoothness and stiffness are quantitative...

Functional Tasks Performed by People with Severe Muscular Atrophy Using an sEMG Controlled Robotic Manipulator.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
For paralyzed people activities of daily living like eating or drinking are impossible without external assistance. Robotic assistance systems can give these people a part of their independence back. Especially if the operation with a joystick is not...

Deep Learning for Medication Assessment of Individuals with Parkinson's Disease Using Wearable Sensors.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Motor fluctuations between "OFF" state (with no benefit from medication) and " ON" state (with optimum benefit from medication) are a major focus of clinical managements in individuals with mid-stage and advance Parkinson's disease (PD). In this work...

Effects of robot-assisted therapy on upper extremity function and activities of daily living in hemiplegic patients: A single-blinded, randomized, controlled trial.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Many robots can induce passive movements and passive resistance movements to facilitate recovery of upper-extremity function, but it is rare to find robots that can also enable active resistance movements.

Effects of robot assistive upper extremity rehabilitation on motor and cognitive recovery, the quality of life, and activities of daily living in stroke patients.

Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of robotic rehabilitation on upper extremity functions, cognitive development, and activities of daily living in patients with subacute stroke.

Head Motion and Head Gesture-Based Robot Control: A Usability Study.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The assistive robot system adaptive head motion control for user-friendly support (AMiCUS) has been developed to increase the autonomy of motion impaired people. The six degrees of freedom robot arm with gripper is controlled with head motion and hea...

Effectiveness of robotic assisted rehabilitation for mobility and functional ability in adult stroke patients: a systematic review.

JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and rehabilitation, involving repetitive, high intensity, task-specific exercises, is the pathway to restoring motor skills. Robotic assistive devices are increasingly being used and it i...

Design and characterization of low-cost fabric-based flat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We present the design of low-cost fabric-based Hat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application. The soft assistive glove is designed to assist hand impaired patients in performing activities of daily living and rehabilitation. The actuat...
