Transverse forces versus modified ashworth scale for upper limb flexion/extension in para-sagittal plane.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Spasticity is a common impairment following an upper motor neuron lesion in conditions such as stroke and brain injury. A clinical issue is how to best quantify and measure spasticity. Recently, research has been performed to develop new methods of s...

Automation of motor dexterity assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motor dexterity assessment is regularly performed in rehabilitation wards to establish patient status and automatization for such routinary task is sought. A system for automatizing the assessment of motor dexterity based on the Fugl-Meyer scale and ...

On the stiffness analysis of a cable driven leg exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic systems are being used for gait rehabilitation of patients with neurological disorder. These devices are externally powered to apply external forces on human limbs to assist the leg motion. Patients while walking with these devices adapt thei...

Automated stand-up and sit-down detection for robot-assisted body-weight support training with the FLOAT.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Patients with impaired walking function are often dependent on assistive devices to retrain gait and regain independence in life. To provide adequate support, gait rehabilitation devices have to be manually set to the correct support mode or have to ...

Lokomat therapy in Colombia: Current state and cognitive aspects.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Neurological disorders frequently affect walking function which is one of the most fundamental skills to improve quality of life and autonomy, and Lokomat has been a key piece for gait's rehabilitation. In this study, a diagnosis about the developmen...

A research on the postural stability of a person wearing the lower limb exoskeletal robot by the HAT model.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper proposes a method of detecting the postural stability of a person wearing the lower limb exoskeletal robot with the HAT(Head-Arm-Trunk) model. Previous studies have shown that the human posture is stable when the CoM(Center of Mass) of the...

Position and torque control via rehabilitation robot and functional electrical stimulation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Two common rehabilitation therapies for individuals possessing neurological conditions are functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic assistance. This paper focuses on combining the two rehabilitation strategies for use on the biceps brachii...

Pediatric robotic rehabilitation: Current knowledge and future trends in treating children with sensorimotor impairments.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-aided sensorimotor therapy imposes highly repetitive tasks that can translate to substantial improvement when patients remain cognitively engaged into the clinical procedure, a goal that most children find hard to pursue. Knowing th...
