Weight compensation characteristics of Armeo®Spring exoskeleton: implications for clinical practice and research.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Armeo®Spring exoskeleton is widely used for upper extremity rehabilitation; however, weight compensation provided by the device appears insufficiently characterized to fully utilize it in clinical and research settings.

Joint amplitude MEMS based measurement platform for low cost and high accessibility telerehabilitation: Elbow case study.

Journal of bodywork and movement therapies
This paper, presents an inertial and magnetic sensor based technological platform, intended for articular amplitude monitoring and telerehabilitation processes considering an efficient cost/technical considerations compromise. The particularities of ...

Implementation of EMG- and Force-Based Control Interfaces in Active Elbow Supports for Men With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: A Feasibility Study.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
While there is an extensive number of studies on the development and evaluation of electromyography (EMG)- and force-based control interfaces for assistive devices, no studies have focused on testing these control strategies for the specific case of ...

Adaptive Control of Exoskeleton Robots for Periodic Assistive Behaviours Based on EMG Feedback Minimisation.

PloS one
In this paper we propose an exoskeleton control method for adaptive learning of assistive joint torque profiles in periodic tasks. We use human muscle activity as feedback to adapt the assistive joint torque behaviour in a way that the muscle activit...

Human upper-limb force capacities evaluation with robotic models for ergonomic applications: effect of elbow flexion.

Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
The aim of this study was to apply models derived from the robotics field to evaluate the human upper-limb force generation capacity. Four models were compared: the force ellipsoid (FE) and force polytope (FP) based on unit joint torques and the scal...

Upper-limb kinematic reconstruction during stroke robot-aided therapy.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
The paper proposes a novel method for an accurate and unobtrusive reconstruction of the upper-limb kinematics of stroke patients during robot-aided rehabilitation tasks with end-effector machines. The method is based on a robust analytic procedure fo...

An elbow passive exoskeleton with controllable assistance: Design and experimental.

The Review of scientific instruments
A passive exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device that is worn on the exterior of the user's body to provide physical support and facilitate movement. Existing elbow passive exoskeletons have limitations in their assistance capabilities and range of...

A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Physiotherapy: Improving Elbow Rehabilitation in Baseball Pitchers.

Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Throwing a baseball involves intense exposure of the arm to high speeds and powerful forces, which contributes to an increasing prevalence of arm injuries among athletes. Traditional rigid exoskeletons and rehabilitation equip...

Automatic diagnosis of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures using radiomics-based machine learning.

Medicine
The aim of this study was to construct a classification model for the automatic diagnosis of pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures using radiomics-based machine learning. We retrospectively collected elbow joint Radiographs of children aged 3 to ...

Air Efficient Soft Wearable Robot for High-Torque Elbow Flexion Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Recent developments in soft wearable robots have shown promise for assistive and rehabilitative use-cases. For inflatable approaches, a major challenge in developing portable systems is finding a balance between portability, performance, and usabilit...
