The objective of this study was to assess the feasibility and efficacy of using real-time human-in-the-loop pattern recognition-based myoelectric control to control vertical support force or vertical position to improve reach in individuals with chro...
Upper limb training dose after stroke is usually quantified by time and repetitions. This study analyzed upper limb motor training dose in stroke participants (N = 36) using a more comprehensive approach. Participants, classified by initial motor sev...
In the field of robotic arm trajectory imitation learning, Gaussian Mixture Models are widely used for their ability to capture the characteristics of complex trajectories. However, one major challenge in utilizing these models lies in the initializa...
Brain-controlled robotic arm systems are designed to provide a method of communication and control for individuals with limited mobility or communication abilities. These systems can be beneficial for people who have suffered from a spinal cord injur...
