Care-receivers with physical disabilities' perceptions on having humanoid assistive robots as assistants: a qualitative study.

BMC health services research
BACKGROUND: People with physical disabilities due to disease or injury face barriers to their daily activities and participation in society. Many depend on formal or informal caregivers for assistance to live independently. However, future healthcare...

Adopting Graph Neural Networks to Analyze Human-Object Interactions for Inferring Activities of Daily Living.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Human Activity Recognition (HAR) refers to a field that aims to identify human activities by adopting multiple techniques. In this field, different applications, such as smart homes and assistive robots, are introduced to support individuals in their...

Outcome measures applied to robotic assistive technology for people with cerebral palsy: a pilot study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The application of robotic devices is being used as Assistive Technology (AT) for improving rehabilitation interventions. The purposes of this research were to (1) test a novel low-cost robotic AT to support interventions for people with Cerebral Pal...

A Novel Framework Based on Deep Learning Architecture for Continuous Human Activity Recognition with Inertial Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Frameworks for human activity recognition (HAR) can be applied in the clinical environment for monitoring patients' motor and functional abilities either remotely or within a rehabilitation program. Deep Learning (DL) models can be exploited to perfo...

The usefulness of assistive soft robotics in the rehabilitation of patients with hand impairment: A systematic review.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
INTRODUCTION: Loss of hand function causes severe limitations in activity in daily living. The hand-soft robot is one of the methods that has recently been growing to increase the patient's independence. The purpose of the present systematic review w...

The Effects of Combined Virtual Reality Exercises and Robot Assisted Gait Training on Cognitive Functions, Daily Living Activities, and Quality of Life in High Functioning Individuals With Subacute Stroke.

Perceptual and motor skills
Stroke is a global health concern causing significant mortality. Survivors face physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges, affecting their life satisfaction and social participation. Robot-assisted gait training with virtual reality, like Lokomat...

The Combined Effect of Robot-assisted Therapy and Activities of Daily Living Training on Upper Limb Recovery in Persons With Subacute Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) followed by activities of daily living (ADL) training in comparison with conventional rehabilitation therapy (CRT) and ADL training in individuals with subacute stroke.

Immersive participatory design of assistive robots to support older adults.

Ergonomics
Assistive robots have the potential to support independence, enhance safety, and lower healthcare costs for older adults, as well as alleviate the demands of their care partners. However, ensuring that these robots will effectively and reliably addre...

Identifying Functional Status Impairment in People Living With Dementia Through Natural Language Processing of Clinical Documents: Cross-Sectional Study.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Assessment of activities of daily living (ADLs) and instrumental ADLs (iADLs) is key to determining the severity of dementia and care needs among older adults. However, such information is often only documented in free-text clinical notes...

Detection and Assessment of Point-to-Point Movements During Functional Activities Using Deep Learning and Kinematic Analyses of the Stroke-Affected Wrist.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Stoke is a leading cause of long-term disability, including upper-limb hemiparesis. Frequent, unobtrusive assessment of naturalistic motor performance could enable clinicians to better assess rehabilitation effectiveness and monitor patients' recover...
