Design of a thumb module for the FINGER rehabilitation robot.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2016
This paper describes the design and initial prototype of a thumb curling exoskeleton for movement therapy. This add-on device for the Finger INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot (FINGER) guides the thumb through a single-degree-of-freedom naturalistic ...
Robot-like dexterity without computers and motors: a review of hand-held laparoscopic instruments with wrist-like tip articulation.
Expert review of medical devices
Jul 1, 2016
INTRODUCTION: Conventional manual laparoscopic instruments for minimally invasive surgery have limited dexterity within the patient, making procedures challenging. Surgical robotic systems offer enhanced articulation, but at substantial financial cos...
[NEW OPPORTUNITIES IN NEURO-REHABILITATION: ROBOT MEDIATED THERAPY IN CONDITONS POST CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM IMPAIRMENTS].

Mar 30, 2016
Decreasing the often-seen multiple disabilities as a consequence of central nervous system impairments requires broadening of the tools of rehabilitation. A promising opportunity for this purpose is the application of physiotherapy robots. The develo...
Fractal and twin SVM-based handgrip recognition for healthy subjects and trans-radial amputees using myoelectric signal.
Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Feb 1, 2016
Identifying functional handgrip patterns using surface electromygram (sEMG) signal recorded from amputee residual muscle is required for controlling the myoelectric prosthetic hand. In this study, we have computed the signal fractal dimension (FD) an...
Quantitative assessment of hand motor function in cervical spinal disorder patients using target tracking tests.
Journal of rehabilitation research and development
Jan 1, 2016
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) is a chronic spinal disorder in the neck region. Its prevalence is growing rapidly in developed nations, creating a need for an objective assessment tool. This article introduces a system for quantifying hand mot...
Design and development of a bio-inspired, under-actuated soft gripper.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Aug 1, 2015
The development of robotic devices able to perform manipulation tasks mimicking the human hand has been assessed on large scale. This work stands in the challenging scenario where soft materials are combined with bio-inspired design in order to devel...
Design, fabrication and control of soft robots.
Nature
May 28, 2015
Conventionally, engineers have employed rigid materials to fabricate precise, predictable robotic systems, which are easily modelled as rigid members connected at discrete joints. Natural systems, however, often match or exceed the performance of rob...
Development and preliminary testing of an instrumented object for force analysis during grasping.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jan 1, 2015
This paper presents the design and realization of an instrumented object for force analysis during grasping. The object, with spherical shape, has been constructed with three contact areas in order to allow performing a tripod grasp. Force Sensing Re...
Voice-Activated Lightweight Reacher to Assist with Upper Extremity Movement Limitations: A Case Study.
Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Jan 1, 2015
The focus of this research was to design a functional and user-friendly reacher for people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Engineering advancements have taken assistive robotics to new dimensions. Technologies such as wheelchair robotics and myo-el...
Dynamic feature selection applied to the recognition of grasping movements in the control of bioprosthetic hand.
Studies in health technology and informatics
Jan 1, 2015
The paper presents novel method of dynamic feature selection (DFS) and its application in the problem of recognition of patient intent in the bioprosthesis control system. In the proposed approach features are selected dynamically, i.e. separately fo...
