Real-Time On-Board Recognition of Continuous Locomotion Modes for Amputees With Robotic Transtibial Prostheses.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Oct 1, 2018
Human intent recognition is important to the control of robotic prosthesis. In this paper, we propose a multi-level real-time on-board system to recognize continuous locomotion modes. A cascaded classification strategy is designed for the recognition...
A support vector machine approach to detect trans-tibial prosthetic misalignment using 3-Dimensional ground reaction force features: A proof of concept.
Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Jan 1, 2018
BACKGROUND: Prosthetists conventionally evaluate alignment based on visual interpretation of patients' gait, which is convenient, but largely subjective and depends on prosthetists' experience.
A lightweight robotic ankle prosthesis with non-backdrivable cam-based transmission.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
Below-knee level amputation significantly impacts the ability of an individual to ambulate. Transtibial amputees are typically prescribed energetically passive ankle-foot prostheses that behave as a spring or controlled damper, and therefore cannot f...
Adaptive learning to speed-up control of prosthetic hands: A few things everybody should know.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
Domain adaptation methods have been proposed to reduce the training efforts needed to control an upper-limb prosthesis by adapting well performing models from previous subjects to the new subject. These studies generally reported impressive reduction...
Robotic therapy for phantom limb pain in upper limb amputees.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Jul 1, 2017
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...
User intent prediction with a scaled conjugate gradient trained artificial neural network for lower limb amputees using a powered prosthesis.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2016
Powered lower limb prostheses have the ability to provide greater mobility for amputee patients. Such prostheses often have pre-programmed modes which can allow activities such as climbing stairs and descending ramps, something which many amputees st...
Metabolic cost of level-ground walking with a robotic transtibial prosthesis combining push-off power and nonlinear damping behaviors: preliminary results.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2016
Recent advances in robotic technology are facilitating the development of robotic prostheses. Our previous studies proposed a lightweight robotic transtibial prosthesis with a damping control strategy. To improve the performance of power assistance, ...
Overview: Mechanism and Control of a Prosthetic Arm.
Molecular & cellular biomechanics : MCB
Sep 1, 2015
Continuous growth in industrialization and lack of awareness in safety parameters the cases of amputations are growing. The search of safer, simpler and automated prosthetic arms for managing upper limbs is expected. Continuous efforts have been made...
Effects of prosthesis use on the capability to control myoelectric robotic prosthetic hands.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2015
The natural control of robotic prosthetic hands with non-invasive techniques is still a challenge: myoelectric prostheses currently give some control capabilities; the application of pattern recognition techniques is promising and recently started to...
Combining human volitional control with intrinsic controller on robotic prosthesis: A case study on adaptive slope walking.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jan 1, 2015
Affording lower-limb amputees the ability to volitionally control robotic prostheses can improve the adaptability to terrain changes as well as enhancing proprioception. However, it also increases amputees' conscious burdens for prosthesis control. T...
