A review of cable-driven rehabilitation devices.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
To conduct a survey on the research and development of cable-driven rehabilitation devices (CDRDs). This review searches in the databases of PubMed, IEEE Xplore Digital Library, Science Direct, and Google Scholar using various combinations of the f...

A review of computer vision for semi-autonomous control of assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs).

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The advances in artificial intelligence have started to reach a level where autonomous systems are becoming increasingly popular as a way to aid people in their everyday life. Such intelligent systems may especially be beneficially for people strugg...

Over-ground walking or robot-assisted gait training in people with .multiple sclerosis: does the effect depend on baseline walking speed and disease related disabilities? A systematic review and meta-regression.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: It was suggested that robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) should not be routinely provided to disabled patients in place of conventional over-ground walking training (CGT). There exist several randomised controlled trials reporting on RAG...

In-home and remote use of robotic body surrogates by people with profound motor deficits.

PloS one
By controlling robots comparable to the human body, people with profound motor deficits could potentially perform a variety of physical tasks for themselves, improving their quality of life. The extent to which this is achievable has been unclear due...

Impact of robotics and human enhancement on occupation: what does it mean for rehabilitation?

Disability and rehabilitation
People with disabilities face participation challenges in all occupations. Scientific and technological advancements impact the occupational landscape of humans. This scoping review aimed to ascertain the academic engagement with occupation in relat...

Ultrasonic Tethering to Enable Side-by-Side Following for Powered Wheelchairs.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In social situations, people who use a powered wheelchair must divide their attention between navigating the chair and conversing with people. These conversations could lead to increased mental stress when navigating and distraction from maneuvering ...

Testing of an assistive robot system for haptic exploration of objects.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
INTRODUCTION: When children with physical impairments cannot perform hand movements for haptic exploration, they may miss opportunities to learn the properties of objects. Assistive robots may enable them to make manipulation actions.

Assistance Robotics and Biosensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This Special Issue is focused on breakthrough developments in the field of biosensors and current scientific progress in biomedical signal processing. The papers address innovative solutions in assistance robotics based on bioelectrical signals, incl...

Predicting hospital associated disability from imbalanced data using supervised learning.

Artificial intelligence in medicine
Hospitalization of elderly patients can lead to serious adverse effects on their functional capability. Identifying the underlying factors leading to such adverse effects is an active area of medical research. The purpose of the current paper is to s...

Deep neural models for extracting entities and relationships in the new RDD corpus relating disabilities and rare diseases.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: There is a huge amount of rare diseases, many of which have associated important disabilities. It is paramount to know in advance the evolution of the disease in order to limit and prevent the appearance of disabilities and ...
