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 ...

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...

Validation of the efficiency of a robotic rehabilitation training system for recovery of severe plegie hand motor function after a stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We have developed a rehabilitation training system called the Useful and Ultimate Rehabilitation System PARKO (UR System PARKO) to promote the recovery of motor function of the severe chronic plegic hand of stroke patients. This system was equipped w...

Rehabilitation for hemiplegia using an upper limb training system based on a force direction.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hemiplegia patients have complete paralysis of half their body, and encounter many challenges in living an independent life. Rehabilitation of the lower body is more important than that of the upper body for independent living; thus, recovering upper...

Automation of motor dexterity assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motor dexterity assessment is regularly performed in rehabilitation wards to establish patient status and automatization for such routinary task is sought. A system for automatizing the assessment of motor dexterity based on the Fugl-Meyer scale and ...

An optimized design of a parallel robot for gait training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The guidelines for enhancing robot-assisted training for post-stroke survivors head towards increasing exercise realism and variability; in particular lower limb rehabilitation needs the patient to feel challenged to adapt his locomotion and dynamic ...

Addition of forelimb training reduces gains from robotic gait training in a rat model of spinal cord injury.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
To restore locomotor function following spinal cord injury the disrupted descending supraspinal drive needs to be re-connected to regions caudal to the injury. Robotic gait training aims to facilitate recovery by stimulating the proprioceptive networ...

Timing of intermittent torque control with wire-driven gait training robot lifting toe trajectory for trip avoidance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait training robots are useful for changing gait patterns and decreasing risk of trip. Previous research has reported that decreasing duration of the assistance or guidance of the robot is beneficial for efficient gait training. Although robotic int...

Toward goal-oriented robotic gait training: The effect of gait speed and stride length on lower extremity joint torques.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted gait training is becoming increasingly common to support recovery of walking function after neurological injury. How to formulate controllers capable of promoting desired features in gait, i.e. goals, is complicated by the limited unde...

A novel robot-assisted training approach for improving gait symmetry after stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait asymmetry as a consequence of hemiparesis is known as a serious long-term disability, where typical compensatory gait movements are used by stroke subjects in order to cope with their daily activities. This study presents a gait symmetry trainin...
