Enhancing Upper Limb Function and Motor Skills Post-Stroke Through an Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Cerebrovascular accidents, commonly known as strokes, represent a prevalent neurological event leading to significant upper limb disabilities, thereby profoundly affecting individuals' activities of daily living and diminishing their quality of life....

Direct Comparisons of Upper-Limb Motor Learning Performance Among Three Types of Haptic Guidance With Non-Assisted Condition in Spiral Drawing Task.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In robot-assisted rehabilitation, it is unclear which type of haptic guidance is effective for regaining motor function because of the lack of direct comparisons among multiple types of haptic guidance. The objective of this study was to investigate ...

Ηand dexterities assessment in stroke patients based on augmented reality and machine learning through a box and block test.

Scientific reports
A popular and widely suggested measure for assessing unilateral hand motor skills in stroke patients is the box and block test (BBT). Our study aimed to create an augmented reality enhanced version of the BBT (AR-BBT) and evaluate its correlation to ...

Visual feedbacks influence short-term learning of torque versus motion profile with robotic guidance among young adults.

Human movement science
Robotic assistance can improve the learning of complex motor skills. However, the assistance designed and used up to now mainly guides motor commands for trajectory learning, not dynamics learning. The present study explored how a complex motor skill...

The Effects of Different Motor Teaching Strategies on Learning a Complex Motor Task.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
During the learning of a new sensorimotor task, individuals are usually provided with instructional stimuli and relevant information about the target task. The inclusion of haptic devices in the study of this kind of learning has greatly helped in th...

Analysis of learning the bimanual control of (tele)operating joint space controlled robotic arms with 4 degrees of freedom using the two-timescales power law of learning.

Ergonomics
Training costs for operators of robotic arms in forestry and construction are high. A systematic analysis of skill development can help to make training more efficient. This research focuses on motor skill development by investigating the bimanual co...

Finger dexterity measured by the Grooved Pegboard test indexes Parkinson's motor severity in a tremor-independent manner.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
Fine motor impairments are frequent complaints in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). While they may develop at an early stage of the disease, they become more problematic as the disease progresses. Tremors and fine motor symptoms may seem related,...

Using Artificial Intelligence for Assistance Systems to Bring Motor Learning Principles into Real World Motor Tasks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Humans learn movements naturally, but it takes a lot of time and training to achieve expert performance in motor skills. In this review, we show how modern technologies can support people in learning new motor skills. First, we introduce important co...

Bimanual motor skill learning with robotics in chronic stroke: comparison between minimally impaired and moderately impaired patients, and healthy individuals.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Most activities of daily life (ADL) require cooperative bimanual movements. A unilateral stroke may severely impair bimanual ADL. How patients with stroke (re)learn to coordinate their upper limbs (ULs) is largely unknown. The objectives ...

Automatic detection of passing and shooting in water polo using machine learning: a feasibility study.

Sports biomechanics
There is currently no efficient way to quantify overhead throwing volume in water polo. Therefore, this study aimed to test the feasibility of a method to detect passes and shots in water polo automatically using inertial measurement units (IMU) and ...
