Design and analysis of coiled fiber reinforced soft pneumatic actuator.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Apr 18, 2018
Fiber reinforced elastomeric enclosures (FREEs) are soft pneumatic actuators that can contract and generate forces upon pressurization. Typical engineering applications utilize FREEs in their straight cylindrical configuration and derive actuation di...
Robotically-driven orthoses exert proximal-to-distal differential recovery on the lower limbs in children with hemiplegia, early after acquired brain injury.
European journal of paediatric neurology : EJPN : official journal of the European Paediatric Neurology Society
Mar 23, 2018
Robotically-driven orthoses (RDO) are promising for treating gait impairment in children with hemiplegia after acquired brain injury (ABI). Despite this, existing literature on the employment of RDO in ABI is scanty, and cohorts' age spans throughout...
Design-validation of a hand exoskeleton using musculoskeletal modeling.
Applied ergonomics
Dec 19, 2017
Exoskeletons are progressively reaching homes and workplaces, allowing interaction with virtual environments, remote control of robots, or assisting human operators in carrying heavy loads. Their design is however still a challenge as these robots, b...
Effect of robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation on dynamic equilibrium control in the gait of children with cerebral palsy.
Gait & posture
Nov 11, 2017
Due to the intensity and repetition of movement, roboticassisted gait training therapy could have a beneficial effect on the recovery and improvement of postural and locomotor functions of the patient. This study sought to highlight the effects of ro...
State-of-the-art robotic devices for ankle rehabilitation: Mechanism and control review.
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Oct 24, 2017
There is an increasing research interest in exploring use of robotic devices for the physical therapy of patients suffering from stroke and spinal cord injuries. Rehabilitation of patients suffering from ankle joint dysfunctions such as drop foot is ...
Anticipatory detection of turning in humans for intuitive control of robotic mobility assistance.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Sep 26, 2017
Many wearable lower-limb robots for walking assistance have been developed in recent years. However, it remains unclear how they can be commanded in an intuitive and efficient way by their user. In particular, providing robotic assistance to neurolog...
MIT-Skywalker: considerations on the Design of a Body Weight Support System.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Sep 6, 2017
BACKGROUND: To provide body weight support during walking and balance training, one can employ two distinct embodiments: support through a harness hanging from an overhead system or support through a saddle/seat type. This paper presents a comparison...
Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.
The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
May 10, 2017
BACKGROUND: Electromechanical- and robotic-assisted gait-training devices are used in rehabilitation and might help to improve walking after stroke. This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in 2007.
A preliminary investigation into the design of pressure cushions and their potential applications for forearm robotic orthoses.
Biomedical engineering online
May 8, 2017
BACKGROUND: Load cells are often used in rehabilitation robotics to monitor human-robot interaction. While load cells are accurate and suitable for the stationary end-point robots used in rehabilitation hospitals, their cost and inability to conform ...
Design and fuzzy logic control of an active wrist orthosis.
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Apr 21, 2017
People who perform excessive wrist movements throughout the day because of their professions have a higher risk of developing lateral and medial epicondylitis. If proper precautions are not taken against these diseases, serious consequences such as j...
