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
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...

[Robotics-mechanical bridge between imaging and patient].

Der Orthopade
BACKGROUND: There are still a high number of dissatisfied knee arthroplasty patients. This situation has not changed much for decades, despite many innovations focusing on implant longevity and higher procedural precision. In this context, there is a...

Fault-Tolerant Sensor Detection of sEMG signals: Quality Analysis Using a Two-Class Support Vector Machine.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The capacity to identify the contamination in surface electromyography (sEMG) signals is necessary for applying the sEMG controlled prosthesis over time. In this paper, the method for the automatic identification of commonly occurring contaminant typ...

A Biomechatronic EPP upper-limb prosthesis controller and its performance comparison to other topologies.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Historically, Classic Extended Physiological Proprioception (EPP) as an upper-limb prosthesis control topology has been outperforming functionally all other topologies of the past. A novel Biomechatronic EPP controller has been designed to overcome s...

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
BACKGROUND: Prosthetists conventionally evaluate alignment based on visual interpretation of patients' gait, which is convenient, but largely subjective and depends on prosthetists' experience.

MoBio: A 5 DOF trans-humeral robotic prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, a 5 DOF trans-humeral robotic prosthesis: MoBio is proposed. MoBio includes 2 DOF at wrist which is rare in other trans-humeral prostheses. Through anthropometric features MoBio prosthetic arm can achieve elbow flexion/extension, forea...

Design of a wearable interface for lightweight robotic arm for people with mobility impairments.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Many common activities of daily living like open a door or fill a glass of water, which most of us take for granted, could be an insuperable problem for people who have limited mobility or impairments. For years the unique alternative to overcame thi...

Design of a power-asymmetric actuator for a transtibial prosthesis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the design and characterization of a power-asymmetric actuator for a transtibial prosthesis. The device is designed to provide the combination of: 1) joint locking, 2) high power dissipation, and 3) low power generation. This actu...

Design and characterization of low-cost fabric-based flat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We present the design of low-cost fabric-based Hat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application. The soft assistive glove is designed to assist hand impaired patients in performing activities of daily living and rehabilitation. The actuat...

Learning from demonstration: Teaching a myoelectric prosthesis with an intact limb via reinforcement learning.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Prosthetic arms should restore and extend the capabilities of someone with an amputation. They should move naturally and be able to perform elegant, coordinated movements that approximate those of a biological arm. Despite these objectives, the contr...
