Restoring of Interhemispheric Symmetry in Patients With Stroke Following Bilateral or Unilateral Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Bilateral robotic rehabilitation has proven helpful in the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients with stroke, but its effects on the cortical reorganization mechanisms underlying recovery are still unclear. This pilot Randomized Controlle...

Extracorporeal Closed-Loop Respiratory Regulation for Patients With Respiratory Difficulty Using a Soft Bionic Robot.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Respiratory regulation is critical for patients with respiratory dysfunction. Clinically used ventilators can lead to long-term dependence and injury. Extracorporeal assistance approaches such as iron-lung devices provide a noninvasive alt...

Research on the Motion Control Strategy of a Lower-Limb Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Robot Using the Twin Delayed Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The motion control system of a lower-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot (LLERR) is designed to assist patients in lower-limb rehabilitation exercises. This research designed a motion controller for an LLERR-based on the Twin Delayed Deep Determini...

A Novel Bilateral Underactuated Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Bimanual ADL Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper introduces a lightweight bilateral underactuated upper limb exoskeleton (UULE) designed to assist chronic stroke patients with distal joint (Elbow-Wrist) impairments during bimanual activities of daily living (ADL). The UULE aims to assist...

Adaptive Modular Neural Control for Online Gait Synchronization and Adaptation of an Assistive Lower-Limb Exoskeleton.

IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems
Gait synchronization has attracted significant attention in research on assistive lower-limb exoskeletons because it can circumvent conflicting movements and improve the assistance performance. This study proposes an adaptive modular neural control (...

Soft pneumatic actuators for pushing fingers into extension.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Compliant pneumatic actuators possess many characteristics that are desirable for wearable robotic systems. These actuators can be lightweight, integrated with clothing, and accommodate uncontrolled degrees of freedom. These attributes ar...

Real-world exoskeletons are better than those in the movie .

Science robotics
The recent movie misses fundamental robotics advances in self-stabilization and human-robot interaction.

Robotic assessment of bilateral and unilateral upper limb functions in adults with cerebral palsy.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit motor impairments predominantly on one side of the body, while also having ipsilesional and bilateral impairments. These impairments are known to persist through adulthood, but their ex...

Assessing the Effect of Cervical Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation With an Upper Limb Robotic Exoskeleton and Surface Electromyography.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) is a promising rehabilitative intervention to restore motor function and coordination for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The effects of TSS are most commonly assessed by evaluating muscle response t...

Active Neural Network Control for a Wearable Upper Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton Robot Driven by Pneumatic Artificial Muscles.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) has been widely used in rehabilitation and other fields as a flexible and safe actuator. In this paper, a PAM-actuated wearable exoskeleton robot is developed for upper limb rehabilitation. However, accurate modeling...
