A novel hand gesture recognition method based on 2-channel sEMG.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Hand gesture recognition is getting more and more important in the area of rehabilitation and human machine interface (HMI). However, most current approaches are difficult to achieve practical application because of an excess of sensors. In this work...

Fuzzy logic-based mobile computing system for hand rehabilitation after neurological injury.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Effective neurological rehabilitation requires long term assessment and treatment. The rapid progress of virtual reality-based assistive technologies and tele-rehabilitation has increased the potential for self-rehabilitation of various n...

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...

Robot-Assisted Training of Arm and Hand Movement Shows Functional Improvements for Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility, tolerability, and effectiveness of robotic-assisted arm training in incomplete chronic tetraplegia.

Robotic Hand-Assisted Training for Spinal Cord Injury Driven by Myoelectric Pattern Recognition: A Case Report.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
A 51-year-old man with an incomplete C6 spinal cord injury sustained 26 yrs ago attended twenty 2-hr visits over 10 wks for robot-assisted hand training driven by myoelectric pattern recognition. In each visit, his right hand was assisted to perform ...

Fully Automated Deep Learning System for Bone Age Assessment.

Journal of digital imaging
Skeletal maturity progresses through discrete phases, a fact that is used routinely in pediatrics where bone age assessments (BAAs) are compared to chronological age in the evaluation of endocrine and metabolic disorders. While central to many diseas...

Design and characterization of low-cost fabric-based flat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We present the design of low-cost fabric-based Hat pneumatic actuators for soft assistive glove application. The soft assistive glove is designed to assist hand impaired patients in performing activities of daily living and rehabilitation. The actuat...

Applying a soft-robotic glove as assistive device and training tool with games to support hand function after stroke: Preliminary results on feasibility and potential clinical impact.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Recent technological developments regarding wearable soft-robotic devices extend beyond the current application of rehabilitation robotics and enable unobtrusive support of the arms and hands during daily activities. In this light, the HandinMind (Hi...

Preliminary results toward a naturally controlled multi-synergistic prosthetic hand.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic hands embedding human motor control principles in their mechanical design are getting increasing interest thanks to their simplicity and robustness, combined with good performance. Another key aspect of these hands is that humans can use them...

Repeatability of grasp recognition for robotic hand prosthesis control based on sEMG data.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Control methods based on sEMG obtained promising results for hand prosthetics. Control system robustness is still often inadequate and does not allow the amputees to perform a large number of movements useful for everyday life. Only few studies analy...
