A review in gait rehabilitation devices and applied control techniques.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The aim of this review is to analyse the different existing technologies for gait rehabilitation, focusing mainly in robotic devices. Those robots help the patient to recover a lost function due to neurological gait disorders, accidents or a...

Long-term use of the JACO robotic arm: a case series.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Past research with JACO has principally focused on the short-term impacts on new users. Therefore, this study aims to document the long-term impacts of this assistive device on users and their family caregivers following prolonged use.

IHMC's experience competing in the Cybathlon compared to the DARPA robotics challenge.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: As a research scientist, my work tends to focus on scientific investigations. Our group occasionally makes discoveries or has a successful demonstration, and sometimes we can even repeatedly demonstrate something working on the hardware. ...

Iterative Learning Impedance for Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This paper discusses the problem of squatting training of stroke patients. The main idea is to correct the patient's training trajectory through an iterative learning control (ILC) method. To obtain better rehabilitation effect, a patient will typica...

Preliminary testing by adults of a haptics-assisted robot platform designed for children with physical impairments to access play.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
Development of children's cognitive and perceptual skills depends heavily on object exploration and experience in their physical world. For children who have severe physical impairments, one of the biggest concerns is the loss of opportunities for me...

A human-oriented framework for developing assistive service robots.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Multipurpose robots that can perform a range of useful tasks have the potential to increase the quality of life for many people living with disabilities. Owing to factors such as high system complexity, as-yet unresolved research questions a...

3-D-Gaze-Based Robotic Grasping Through Mimicking Human Visuomotor Function for People With Motion Impairments.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: The goal of this paper is to achieve a novel 3-D-gaze-based human-robot-interaction modality, with which a user with motion impairment can intuitively express what tasks he/she wants the robot to do by directly looking at the object of int...

A systematic review of study results reported for the evaluation of robotic rollators from the perspective of users.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and perception of robotic rollators (RRs) from the perspective of users.
