A Prototype System for High Frame Rate Ultrasound Imaging based Prosthetic Arm Control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The creation of unique control methods for a hand prosthesis is still a problem that has to be addressed. The best choice of a human-machine interface (HMI) that should be used to enable natural control is still a challenge. Surface electromyography ...

Task-oriented arm training for stroke patients based on remote handling technology concepts: A feasibility study.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Improving arm-hand skill performance is a major therapeutic target in stroke rehabilitation. Arm-hand rehabilitation may be enriched in content and variation by using technology-assisted training. Especially for people with a severely aff...

Effectiveness of robot-assisted arm therapy in stroke rehabilitation: An overview of systematic reviews.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted arm therapy (RAT) has been used mainly in stroke rehabilitation in the last 20 years with rising expectations and growing evidence summarized in systematic reviews (SRs).

Musculoskeletal Neural Network path generator for a virtual upper-limb active controlled orthosis.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In this paper, a non-parametric model of the neuromusculoskeletal system for the biceps brachii is presented. The model serves to generate angular paths for the control of a virtual active orthosis. The path generator uses a differential neural netwo...

U-Limb: A multi-modal, multi-center database on arm motion control in healthy and post-stroke conditions.

GigaScience
BACKGROUND: Shedding light on the neuroscientific mechanisms of human upper limb motor control, in both healthy and disease conditions (e.g., after a stroke), can help to devise effective tools for a quantitative evaluation of the impaired conditions...

A brain-computer interface that evokes tactile sensations improves robotic arm control.

Science (New York, N.Y.)
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because information about grasping objects is best relayed through tactile feedback...

Combined transcranial Direct Current Stimulation and robot-assisted arm training in patients with stroke: a systematic review.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Upper limb motor deficits in patients with severe stroke often remain unresolved over time. Combining transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with robotic therapy is an innovative neurorehabilitation approach that holds promise to improve...

Robotic Mounted Rail Arm System for implementing effective workplace safety for migrant workers.

Work (Reading, Mass.)
BACKGROUND: The selection of orders is the method of gathering the parts needed to assemble the final products from storage sites. Kitting is the name of a ready-to-use package or a parts kit, flexible robotic systems will significantly help the indu...

Frameless Stereotactic Brain Biopsies: Comparison of Minimally Invasive Robot-Guided and Manual Arm-Based Technique.

Operative neurosurgery (Hagerstown, Md.)
BACKGROUND: Most brain biopsies are still performed with the aid of a navigation-guided mechanical arm. Due to the manual trajectory alignment without rigid skull contact, frameless aiming devices are prone to considerably lower accuracy.

Estimation of Energy Absorption Capability of Arm Using Force Myography for Stable Human-Machine Interaction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Human-robot interactions help in various industries and enhance the user experience in different ways. However, constant safety monitoring is needed in environments where human users are at risk, such as rehabilitation therapy, space exploration, or ...
