An Assistive Control Strategy for Rehabilitation Robots Using Velocity Field and Force Field.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we address the problem of assist-as-needed (AAN) control of rehabilitation robots. The objective is to develop a path tracking control scheme with the minimized intervention of the robot to gain active participation of impaired subject...

A Semi-Wearable Robotic Device for Sit-to-Stand Assistance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
With the aging of the population in the United States, an increasing number of individuals suffer from mobility challenges. For such individuals, the difficulty of standing up from a seated position is a major barrier for their daily physical activit...

Reducing Circumduction and Hip Hiking During Hemiparetic Walking Through Targeted Assistance of the Paretic Limb Using a Soft Robotic Exosuit.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects on common poststroke gait compensations of a soft wearable robot (exosuit) designed to assist the paretic limb during hemiparetic walking.

Compensating for telecommunication delays during robotic telerehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitation robotic systems may afford better care and telerehabilitation may extend the use and benefits of robotic therapy to the home. Data transmissions over distance are bound by intrinsic communication delays which can be significant enough ...

Kinematic effects of inertia and friction added by a robotic knee exoskeleton after prolonged walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The capabilities of robotic gait assistive devices are ever increasing; however, their adoption outside of the lab is still limited. A critical barrier for the functionality of these devices are the still unknown mechanical properties of the human le...

MIT-Skywalker: On the use of a markerless system.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper describes our efforts to employ the Microsoft Kinect as a low cost vision control system for the MIT-Skywalker, a robotic gait rehabilitation device. The Kinect enables an alternative markerless solution to control the MIT-Skywalker and al...

[CORRECTION OF VARUS KNEE WITH REDUCTION OSTEOTOMY DURING TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of reduction osteotomy for correction of varus knee during total knee arthroplasty.

Development of an excretion care support robot with human cooperative characteristics.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
To support care giving in an aging society with a shrinking population, various life support robots are being developed. In the authors' laboratory, an excretion care support robot (ECSR) with human cooperative characteristic has been developed to re...
