Care robot research and development plan for disability and aged care in Korea: A mixed-methods user participation study.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The population of Korea is aging rapidly, and this has led to a care burden for caregivers. Without adequate caregivers to address the increased burden, people with significant disabilities and older adults with disabilities who have greatly reduced ...

The Effect of Robot-Mediated Virtual Reality Gaming on Upper Limb Spasticity Poststroke: A Randomized-Controlled Trial.

Games for health journal
Stroke is a common reason for motor disability and is often associated with spasticity and poor motor function of the upper limbs involved. Spasticity management is important to accelerate motor recovery. The objective of this study was to investiga...

Eye-gaze control of a wheelchair mounted 6DOF assistive robot for activities of daily living.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Building control architecture that balances the assistive manipulation systems with the benefits of direct human control is a crucial challenge of human-robot collaboration. It promises to help people with disabilities more efficiently co...

An Overview of Machine Learning and 5G for People with Disabilities.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Currently, over a billion people, including children (or about 15% of the world's population), are estimated to be living with disability, and this figure is going to increase to beyond two billion by 2050. People with disabilities generally experien...

Artificial Intelligence in Rehabilitation Targeting the Participation of Children and Youth With Disabilities: Scoping Review.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: In the last decade, there has been a rapid increase in research on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve child and youth participation in daily life activities, which is a key rehabilitation outcome. However, existing reviews...

Robot-assisted arm therapy in neurological health conditions: rationale and methodology for the evidence synthesis in the CICERONE Italian Consensus Conference.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted Arm Therapy (RAT) has been increasingly applied in the last years for promoting functional recovery in patients with disabilities related to neurological health conditions. Evidence of a knowledge-to-action gap for applying...

Reimagining robotic walkers for real-world outdoor play environments with insights from legged robots: a scoping review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: For children with mobility impairments, without cognitive delays, who want to participate in outdoor activities, existing assistive technology (AT) to support their needs is limited. In this review, we investigate the control and design of a...

Preliminary evaluation of an automated robotic transfer assist device in the home setting.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of six weeks of routine use of a novel robotic transfer device, the AgileLife Patient Transfer System, on mobility-related health outcomes, task demand, and satisfaction relative to previo...

Deep Learning Architecture to Assist With Steering a Powered Wheelchair.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper describes a novel Deep Learning architecture to assist with steering a powered wheelchair. A rule-based approach is utilized to train and test a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Neural Network. It is the first time a LSTM has been used for st...
