Prototype Measuring Device for Assessing Interaction Forces between Human Limbs and Rehabilitation Robots - A Proof of Concept Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitation robots can provide high intensity and dosage training or assist patients in activities of daily living and decrease physical strain on clinicians. However, the physical human robot interaction poses a major safety issue, as the close p...

Preservation of hand movement representation in the sensorimotor areas of amputees.

Brain : a journal of neurology
Denervation due to amputation is known to induce cortical reorganization in the sensorimotor cortex. Although there is evidence that reorganization does not lead to a complete loss of the representation of the phantom limb, it is unclear to what exte...

Design and control of a 3-DOF rehabilitation robot for forearm and wrist.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a 3-DOF compact rehabilitation robot, involving mechanical structure design, control system design and gravity compensation analysis. The robot can simultaneously provide assistance for pronation/supination(P/S), flexion/extension...

Support vectors machine classification of surface electromyography for non-invasive naturally controlled hand prostheses.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The scientific researches in human rehabilitation techniques have continually evolved to offer again the mobility and freedom lost to disability. Many systems managed by myoelectric signals intended to mimic the movement of the human arm still have r...

Effect of clinical parameters on the control of myoelectric robotic prosthetic hands.

Journal of rehabilitation research and development
Improving the functionality of prosthetic hands with noninvasive techniques is still a challenge. Surface electromyography (sEMG) currently gives limited control capabilities; however, the application of machine learning to the analysis of sEMG signa...

Comfort and learnability assessment of a new soft robotic manipulator for minimally invasive surgery.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Laparoscopic surgeons perform precise and time consuming procedures while holding awkward poses in their upper body and arms. There is an ongoing effort to produce robotic tools for laparoscopic surgery that will simplify these tasks and reduce risk ...

A cable-driven wrist robotic rehabilitator using a novel torque-field controller for human motion training.

The Review of scientific instruments
Rehabilitation technologies have great potentials in assisted motion training for stroke patients. Considering that wrist motion plays an important role in arm dexterous manipulation of activities of daily living, this paper focuses on developing a c...
