Robotic therapy for phantom limb pain in upper limb amputees.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The system described in this paper combines virtual reality with haptic feedback to increase the level of immersion and invoke the sense of agency in patients with phantom limb pain with the aim of reducing perceived pain. This paper presents three c...

Towards a situation-and-user-aware multi-modal motorized toilet system to assist older adults with disabilities: A user requirements study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In the recent decades state of the art technologies appeared in many areas to assist older adults with disabilities. However, one very essential activity of daily life, the toileting remained without any relevant development. The iToilet project of t...

Transverse forces versus modified ashworth scale for upper limb flexion/extension in para-sagittal plane.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Spasticity is a common impairment following an upper motor neuron lesion in conditions such as stroke and brain injury. A clinical issue is how to best quantify and measure spasticity. Recently, research has been performed to develop new methods of s...

Let's do this together: Bi-Manu-Interact, a novel device for studying human haptic interactive behavior.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Our area of interest is robotic-based rehabilitation after stroke, and our goal is to help patients achieve optimal motor learning during high-intensity repetitive movement training through the assistance of robots. It is important, that the robotic ...

Validation of the efficiency of a robotic rehabilitation training system for recovery of severe plegie hand motor function after a stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We have developed a rehabilitation training system called the Useful and Ultimate Rehabilitation System PARKO (UR System PARKO) to promote the recovery of motor function of the severe chronic plegic hand of stroke patients. This system was equipped w...

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...

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 ...

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...

Motor adaptation to lateral pelvis assistance force during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The goal of this study was to determine how individuals post-stroke response to the lateral assistance force applied to the pelvis during treadmill walking. Ten individuals post chronic (> 6 months) stroke were recruited to participate in this study....
