BACKGROUND: Robots have been proposed as tools to measure bimanual coordination in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (uCP). However, previous research only examined one task and clinical interpretation remains challenging due to the large amoun...
To address the rehabilitation needs of upper limb hemiplegic patients in various stages of recovery, streamline the workload of rehabilitation professionals, and provide data visualization, our research team designed a six-degree-of-freedom upper lim...
One challenge to achieving widespread success of augmentative exoskeletons is accurately adjusting the controller to provide cooperative assistance with their wearer. Often, the controller parameters are "tuned" to optimize a physiological or biomech...
This article presents an active human-following control of the lower limb exoskeleton for gait training. First, to improve safety, considering the human balance, the OpenPose-based visual feedback is used to estimate the individual's pose, then, the ...

OBJECTIVE: While the design and clinical evidence base of robot-assisted gait training devices has been advancing, few studies investigate user experiences with accessing and using such devices in pediatric rehabilitation. This pilot study aims to fu...
OBJECTIVES: Numbers of research have reported the usage of robot-assisted gait training for walking restoration post-stroke. However, no consistent conclusion has been reached yet about the efficacy of exoskeleton robot-assisted training (ERAT) on ga...
Arm reaching is often impaired in individuals with stroke. Nonetheless, how aiming directions influence reaching performance and how such differences change with motor recovery over time remain unclear. Here, we elucidated kinematic parameters of rea...
