Iterative Learning Impedance for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot.
Journal of healthcare engineering
Aug 1, 2017
This paper discusses the problem of squatting training of stroke patients. The main idea is to correct the patient's training trajectory through an iterative learning control (ILC) method. To obtain better rehabilitation effect, a patient will typica...
Anatomic and non-anatomic anterior cruciate ligament posterolateral bundle augmentation affects graft function.
Knee surgery, sports traumatology, arthroscopy : official journal of the ESSKA
Jul 29, 2017
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to compare knee laxity and graft function (tissue force) between anatomic and non-anatomic posterolateral (PL) bundle augmentation.
Robot Assisted Training for the Upper Limb after Stroke (RATULS): study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.
Trials
Jul 20, 2017
BACKGROUND: Loss of arm function is a common and distressing consequence of stroke. We describe the protocol for a pragmatic, multicentre randomised controlled trial to determine whether robot-assisted training improves upper limb function following ...

Can Lokomat therapy with children and adolescents be improved? An adaptive clinical pilot trial comparing Guidance force, Path control, and FreeD.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jul 14, 2017
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait therapy is increasingly being used in pediatric neurorehabilitation to complement conventional physical therapy. The robotic device applied in this study, the Lokomat (Hocoma AG, Switzerland), uses a position control m...
Continuous sweep versus discrete step protocols for studying effects of wearable robot assistance magnitude.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jul 12, 2017
BACKGROUND: Different groups developed wearable robots for walking assistance, but there is still a need for methods to quickly tune actuation parameters for each robot and population or sometimes even for individual users. Protocols where parameters...
A Control Scheme to Minimize Muscle Energy for Power Assistant Robotic Systems Under Unknown External Perturbation.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Jul 5, 2017
This paper proposes a novel control method to minimize muscle energy for power-assistant robotic systems that support the intended motions of a user under unknown external perturbations, using surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals. Conventional contr...
Morphological self stabilization of locomotion gaits: illustration on a few examples from bio-inspired locomotion.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 20, 2017
To a large extent, robotics locomotion can be viewed as cyclic motions, named gaits. Due to the high complexity of the locomotion dynamics, to find the control laws that ensure an expected gait and its stability with respect to external perturbations...
KAPS (kinematic assessment of passive stretch): a tool to assess elbow flexor and extensor spasticity after stroke using a robotic exoskeleton.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jun 19, 2017
BACKGROUND: Spasticity is a common sequela of stroke. Traditional assessment methods include relatively coarse scales that may not capture all characteristics of elevated muscle tone. Thus, the aim of this study was to develop a tool to quantitativel...
Gait studies for a quadrupedal microrobot reveal contrasting running templates in two frequency regimes.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jun 15, 2017
Performance metrics such as speed, cost of transport, and stability are the driving factors behind gait selection in legged locomotion. To help understand the effect of gait on the performance and dynamics of small-scale ambulation, we explore four q...
Development and Implementation of an End-Effector Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot for Hemiplegic Patients with Line and Circle Tracking Training.
Journal of healthcare engineering
Jun 15, 2017
Numerous robots have been widely used to deliver rehabilitative training for hemiplegic patients to improve their functional ability. Because of the complexity and diversity of upper limb motion, customization of training patterns is one key factor d...
