Intuitive adaptive orientation control of assistive robots for people living with upper limb disabilities.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic assistive devices enhance the autonomy of individuals living with physical disabilities in their day-to-day life. Although the first priority for such devices is safety, they must also be intuitive and efficient from an engineering point of v...

VIBROfocus: Design of a focal vibro-tactile robotic-assistive system for spasticity rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The main focus of spasticity treatment is to alleviate pain, improve function and reduce risk of additional complications. In this paper the design of a robotic system with enhanced focal vibro-tactile stimulation for the treatment of spasticity in t...

EMU: A transparent 3D robotic manipulandum for upper-limb rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper introduces the EMU, a three-dimensional robotic manipulandum for rehabilitation of the upper extremity for patients with neurological injury. The device has been designed to be highly transparent, have a large workspace, and allow the use ...

Transverse forces versus modified ashworth scale for upper limb flexion/extension in para-sagittal plane.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Spasticity is a common impairment following an upper motor neuron lesion in conditions such as stroke and brain injury. A clinical issue is how to best quantify and measure spasticity. Recently, research has been performed to develop new methods of s...

Let's do this together: Bi-Manu-Interact, a novel device for studying human haptic interactive behavior.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Our area of interest is robotic-based rehabilitation after stroke, and our goal is to help patients achieve optimal motor learning during high-intensity repetitive movement training through the assistance of robots. It is important, that the robotic ...

Hybrid position and orientation tracking for a passive rehabilitation table-top robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a real time hybrid 2D position and orientation tracking system developed for an upper limb rehabilitation robot. Designed to work on a table-top, the robot is to enable home-based upper-limb rehabilitative exercise for stroke pati...

Robots testing robots: ALAN-Arm, a humanoid arm for the testing of robotic rehabilitation systems.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotics is increasing in popularity as a method of providing rich, personalized and cost-effective physiotherapy to individuals with some degree of upper limb paralysis, such as those who have suffered a stroke. These robotic rehabilitation systems ...

Nonlinear disturbance observer based sliding mode control of a cable-driven rehabilitation robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper introduces a cable-driven robot for upper-limb rehabilitation. Kinematic and dynamic of this rehabilitation robot is analyzed. A sliding mode controller combined with a nonlinear disturbance observer is proposed to control this robot in th...

Utilization of kinematical redundancy of a rehabilitation robot to produce compliant motions under limitation on actuator performance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper addresses the mechanical structure and control method of a redundant drive robot (RDR) to produce compliant motions, and show how the design parameters of the RDR can effect the produced motions and the mechanical and performance limitatio...

Fully embedded myoelectric control for a wearable robotic hand orthosis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
To prevent learned non-use of the affected hand in chronic stroke survivors, rehabilitative training should be continued after discharge from the hospital. Robotic hand orthoses are a promising approach for home rehabilitation. When combined with int...
