Virtual Reality Environments and Haptic Strategies to Enhance Implicit Learning and Motivation in Robot-Assisted Training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motivation plays a crucial role in motor learning and neurorehabilitation. Participants' motivation could decline to a point where they may stop training when facing a very difficult task. Conversely, participants may perform well and consider the tr...

Multi-purpose Robotic Training Strategies for Neurorehabilitation with Model Predictive Controllers.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
One of the main challenges in robotic neuroreha-bilitation is to understand how robots should physically interact with trainees to optimize motor leaning. There is evidence that motor exploration (i.e., the active exploration of new motor tasks) is c...

Designing and Evaluating the Face of Lil'Flo: an Affordable Social Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
We introduce Lil'Flo, an affordable robot for pediatric upper extremity rehabilitation. We present the design and fabrication methodology of the head and face of the robot, the central design element for emotional expression. Through a guided intervi...

A Support Vector Regression Approach for Continuous Prediction of Ankle Angle and Moment During Walking: An Implication for Developing a Control Strategy for Active Ankle Prostheses.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Lower limb amputations impair normal locomotion. This calls for the use of prosthetic devices to restore the lost or disabled functionality. Most of the commercially available prostheses offer only passive assistance with limited capacity. On the oth...

A robot-assisted sensorimotor training program can improve proprioception and motor function in stroke survivors.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Proprioceptive deficits are common among stroke survivors and are associated with slower motor recovery, poorer upper limb motor function, and decreased self-care ability. Somatosensory feedback augmenting proprioception should enhance motor control ...

Optimal Time-Window Derivation for Human-Activity Recognition Based on Convolutional Neural Networks of Repeated Rehabilitation Motions.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper analyses the time-window size required to achieve the highest accuracy of the convolutional neural network (CNN) in classifying periodic upper limb rehabilitation. To classify real-time motions by using CNN-based human activity recognition...

Robot-based assessment of sitting and standing balance: preliminary results in Parkinson's disease.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Postural responses to unstable conditions or perturbations are important predictors of the risk of falling and can reveal balance deficits in people with neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's Disease (PD). However, there is a lack of evidences ...

Robot-Based Measures of Upper Limb Cognitive-Motor Interference Across the HIV-Stroke Spectrum.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-based neurorehabilitation strategies often ignore cognitive performance during treatment, but this is a need in populations dealing with a wide variety of cognitive and motor impairments, such as the stroke and HIV populations, for which an ass...

Visual Biofeedback of Force Information for Eccentric Training of Hemiplegic Patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motor learning issues for hemiplegics not only include motor impairments such as spastic paralysis, but reportedly also an inability to appropriately recognize somatic sensations. In this regard, biofeedback of movement information through visual inf...

Design and Characterization of a Robotic Device for the Assessment of Hand Proprioceptive, Motor, and Sensorimotor Impairments.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hand function is often impaired after neurological injuries such as stroke. In order to design patient-specific rehabilitation, it is essential to quantitatively assess those deficits. Current clinical scores cannot provide the required level of deta...
