[Development of Nasal Continuum Minimally Invasive Surgical Robot System].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
In order to improve the operation difficulties in the narrow space of the nasal maxillary sinus, the nasal continuum minimally invasive surgical robot system is designed. The ball-and-socket joints and NiTiNol tubes are used as the main body of the c...

Modeling the Influence of the Human Form and Ambulation Context on Moment- and Power-Generating Abilities of Soft Hip-Flexion Exosuits.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Exosuits are close-fitting devices, which are meant to be worn without restricting the motion of the user in the way that a rigid device would. These soft devices augment lower-limb biomechanics by using flexible, joint-spanning linear elements that ...

Testing the Limit Range of Motion Safety Function of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robots with an Anthropometrically Adjustable and Sensorized Dummy Limb.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Arm type or exoskeleton type rehabilitation robots move the patient's upper limb through one or more, either free or restrained connection points. The rehabilitation robot is unsafe if it moves the patient's upper limb beyond the limits of the anatom...

Redistributing Ground Reaction Forces During Squatting Using a Cable-Driven Robotic Device.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Squatting is a dynamic task that is often done for strengthening and improving balance. Most squat training systems partially support body weight. However, one of the benefits of a squat exercise is efficiently distributing the body weight among the ...

Prediction of lower limb kinematics from vision-based system using deep learning approaches.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The joint angular velocity during daily life exercises is an important clinical outcome for injury risk index, rehabilitation progress monitoring and athlete's performance evaluation. Recently, wearable sensors have been widely used to monitor lower ...

Developing an Upper Limb Kinematics Database of Activities of Daily Living.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Open-access databases can facilitate data sharing among researchers and provide normative data for objective clinical assessment development, robotic design, and biomechanical modeling. However, most existing databases focus on gait, balance, and han...

An ISB-consistent Denavit-Hartenberg model of the human upper limb for joint kinematics optimization: validation on synthetic and robot data during a typical rehabilitation gesture.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Several biomedical contexts such as diagnosis, rehabilitation, and ergonomics require an accurate estimate of human upper limbs kinematics. Wearable inertial measurement units (IMU s) represent a suitable solution because of their unobtrusiveness, po...

Reconstruction of Flight Parameters of a Bat for Flapping Robots.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
The flight of bats is comparatively less documented and understood than birds and insects and may provide novel inspiration for the design of flapping flight robots. This study captured the natural flight of short-nosed fruit bats (Cynopterus sphinx)...

[Gait Measurement System Using Laser Range Sensor Based on Lower-limb Rehabilitation Robot].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
Spatiotemporal gait parameters provide important information for the rehabilitation of patients with gait dysfunction. These parameters are often obtained by complex systems such as optical motioncapture system and pressure plates. However, these sys...
