Rehabilitation robotics is an emerging field in which gait training has been largely automated allowing more intensive, repetitive motions which are important for facilitating recovery. However, there is no clear evidence that robot-assisted gait tra...
The successful completion of many behaviors relies on sensory feedback. This symposium brought together researchers using novel techniques to study how different stimuli are encoded, how and where multimodal feedback is integrated, and how feedback m...
The lateral line system is a sensory system unique to fishes and amphibians. It is composed of distributed mechanosensory hair cell organs on the head and body (neuromasts), which are sensitive to pressure gradients and water movements. Over the last...
Haptics has proven to be highly beneficial in surgical robotics, bringing enhanced safety and precision by complementing the surgeon's visual channel. However, most of the research body in this context is dedicated to applications involving tradition...
BACKGROUND: In a patient with severe hemiplegia, the risk of the knee giving way is high during the early stage of gait exercise with an ankle-foot orthosis. However, use of a knee-ankle-foot orthosis has many problems such as large amount of assista...
Efforts are underway to restore sensorimotor function in amputees and tetraplegic patients using anthropomorphic robotic hands. For this approach to be clinically viable, sensory signals from the hand must be relayed back to the patient. To convey ta...
