Successful Use of a 5G-Based Robot-Assisted Remote Ultrasound System in a Care Center for Disabled Patients in Rural China.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Disability has become a global population health challenge. Due to difficulties in self-care or independent living, patients with disability mainly live in community-based care centers or institutions for long-term care. Nonetheless, thes...

Development of a Vision-Guided Shared-Control System for Assistive Robotic Manipulators.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) provide a potential solution to mitigating the difficulties and lost independence associated with manipulation deficits in individuals with upper-limb impairments. However, achieving efficient control of an ARM c...

Learning garment manipulation policies toward robot-assisted dressing.

Science robotics
Assistive robots have the potential to support people with disabilities in a variety of activities of daily living, such as dressing. People who have completely lost their upper limb movement functionality may benefit from robot-assisted dressing, wh...

A survey on the influence of CYBATHLON on the development and acceptance of advanced assistive technologies.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Advanced assistive technologies (AAT) aim to exploit the vast potential of technological developments made in the past decades to improve the quality of life of people with disabilities. Combining complex robotic technologies with the uni...

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...
