Physical human-robot interaction of an active pelvis orthosis: toward ergonomic assessment of wearable robots.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Apr 14, 2017
BACKGROUND: In human-centered robotics, exoskeletons are becoming relevant for addressing needs in the healthcare and industrial domains. Owing to their close interaction with the user, the safety and ergonomics of these systems are critical design f...
Efficacy of Short-Term Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation in Patients With Hand Paralysis After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Hand (New York, N.Y.)
Feb 16, 2017
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the effectiveness of robot-assisted motion and activity in additional to physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) on stroke patients with hand paralysis.
Effect of body weight support variation on muscle activities during robot assisted gait: a dynamic simulation study.
Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
Feb 9, 2017
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: While body weight support (BWS) intonation is vital during conventional gait training of neurologically challenged subjects, it is important to evaluate its effect during robot assisted gait training. In the present researc...
Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists.
Topics in stroke rehabilitation
Dec 20, 2016
BACKGROUND: In the development of efficacious driven gait orthoses (DGO), it is an added value to consider patients' and therapists' perspectives concerning robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). A better understanding of these issues may improve the p...
Dynamic long leg casting fixation for treating 12- to 18-month-old infants with developmental dysplasia of the hip.
The Journal of international medical research
Dec 20, 2016
Objective To evaluate the effect of dynamic long leg casting in paediatric patients with developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) diagnosed at 12-18 months. Methods The adductor tenotomy, closed reduction, and dynamic long leg casting method was adopted ...
Biomechanical effects of body weight support with a novel robotic walker for over-ground gait rehabilitation.
Medical & biological engineering & computing
May 18, 2016
Body weight support (BWS) promotes better functional outcomes for neurologically challenged patients. Despite the established effectiveness of BWS in gait rehabilitation, the findings on biomechanical effects of BWS training still remain contradictor...
Neural Data-Driven Musculoskeletal Modeling for Personalized Neurorehabilitation Technologies.
IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Mar 24, 2016
OBJECTIVES: The development of neurorehabilitation technologies requires the profound understanding of the mechanisms underlying an individual's motor ability and impairment. A major factor limiting this understanding is the difficulty of bridging be...
Characterisation and evaluation of soft elastomeric actuators for hand assistive and rehabilitation applications.
Journal of medical engineering & technology
Mar 23, 2016
Various hand exoskeletons have been proposed for the purposes of providing assistance in activities of daily living and rehabilitation exercises. However, traditional exoskeletons are made of rigid components that impede the natural movement of joint...
Towards compliant and wearable robotic orthoses: A review of current and emerging actuator technologies.
Medical engineering & physics
Feb 26, 2016
Robotic orthoses, or exoskeletons, have the potential to provide effective rehabilitation while overcoming the availability and cost constraints of therapists. However, current orthosis actuation systems use components designed for industrial applica...
Adaptive Control of Exoskeleton Robots for Periodic Assistive Behaviours Based on EMG Feedback Minimisation.
PloS one
Feb 16, 2016
In this paper we propose an exoskeleton control method for adaptive learning of assistive joint torque profiles in periodic tasks. We use human muscle activity as feedback to adapt the assistive joint torque behaviour in a way that the muscle activit...
