Time Efficiency and Ergonomic Assessment of a Robotic Wheelchair Transfer System.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Nov 27, 2024
: Caregivers experience high rates of occupational injuries, especially during wheelchair transfers, which often result in back pain and musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of lifting and repositioning. While mechanical floor lifts,...
Electrocardiogram and respiration recordings show a reduction in the physical burden on professional caregivers when performing care tasks with a transfer support robot.
Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Oct 21, 2024
In this study, we assessed the physical burden on professional caregivers when using a transfer support robot, "Hug," to transfer and move a care recipient. We compared heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV), and the time-series synchronizatio...
TransKinect: a computer vision and machine learning clinical decision support system for automatic independent wheelchair transfer technique assessment.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Jun 27, 2024
BACKGROUND: Physical and occupational therapists provide routine care for manual wheelchair users and are responsible for training and assessing the quality of transfers. These transfers can produce large loads on the upper extremity joints if improp...
Usability study of a smart transfer-assistive robot with dual arms for care workers.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Nov 29, 2023
PURPOSE: The predicted global labor shortages and health problems for long-term care workers can be addressed by care robots. We have developed a smart transfer-assistive robot with dual arms to assist in patient transfers. This study aims to evaluat...
Increase of verbal communication by long-term use of transfer-support robots in nursing facilities.

Person transfer assist systems: a literature review.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Oct 12, 2019
OBJECTIVE: Novel developments in the robotics field have produced systems that can support person wheelchair transfers, maximize safety and reduce caregiver burden. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe these systems, their usability...
Experimental evaluation of a novel robotic hospital bed mover with omni-directional mobility.
Applied ergonomics
May 6, 2017
Bed pushing during patient transfer is one of the most physically demanding and yet common tasks in the hospital setting. Powered bed movers have been increasingly introduced to hospitals to reduce physiological strains on the users. This study intro...
Measurement of Contact Behavior Including Slippage of Cuff When Using Wearable Physical Assistant Robot.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 11, 2015
Continuous use of wearable robots can cause skin injuries beneath the cuffs of robots. To prevent such injuries, understanding the contact behavior of the cuff is important. Thus far, this contact behavior has not been studied because of the difficul...
An Intelligent Robotic Hospital Bed for Safe Transportation of Critical Neurosurgery Patients Along Crowded Hospital Corridors.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 15, 2014
We present a novel design of an intelligent robotic hospital bed, named Flexbed, with autonomous navigation ability. The robotic bed is developed for fast and safe transportation of critical neurosurgery patients without changing beds. Flexbed is mor...
Assessment of Muscle Activation of Caregivers Performing Dependent Transfers With a Novel Robotic-Assisted Transfer Device Compared With the Hoyer Advance.
American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
Sep 1, 2021
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activity in caregivers while using a novel robotic-assisted transfer device (Strong Arm) to a clinical standard of care (Hoyer Advance).
