User Experience Evaluation of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robots: Implications for Design Optimization: A Pilot Study.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With the development of science and technology, people are trying to use robots to assist in stroke rehabilitation training. This study aims to analyze the result of the formative test to provide the orientation of upper limb rehabilitation robot des...

The-state-of-the-art of soft robotics to assist mobility: a review of physiotherapist and patient identified limitations of current lower-limb exoskeletons and the potential soft-robotic solutions.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Soft, wearable, powered exoskeletons are novel devices that may assist rehabilitation, allowing users to walk further or carry out activities of daily living. However, soft robotic exoskeletons, and the more commonly used rigid exoskeleto...

Artificial intelligence application versus physical therapist for squat evaluation: a randomized controlled trial.

Scientific reports
Artificial intelligence technology is becoming more prevalent in health care as a tool to improve practice patterns and patient outcomes. This study assessed ability of a commercialized artificial intelligence (AI) mobile application to identify and ...

How to replace a physiotherapist: artificial intelligence and the redistribution of expertise.

Physiotherapy theory and practice
The convergence of large datasets, increased computational power, and enhanced algorithm design has led to the increased success of machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) across a wide variety of healthcare professions but which, so f...

Towards On-Demand Virtual Physical Therapist: Machine Learning-Based Patient Action Understanding, Assessment and Task Recommendation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In this paper, we propose a machine learning-based virtual physical therapist (PT) system to enable personalized remote training for patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Three physical therapy tasks with multiple difficulty levels are selected to ...

Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
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...

The use of robotic upper limb therapy in routine clinical practice for stroke survivors: Insights from Australian therapists.

Australian occupational therapy journal
INTRODUCTION: There is a limited understanding of therapist acceptance and use of robot-assisted upper limb therapy (RT-ULT) in routine practice. The aim of this study was to explore the factors that influence Australian therapist acceptance and use ...

Adoption of robotic stroke rehabilitation into clinical settings: a qualitative descriptive analysis.

JBI evidence implementation
AIM: Through this qualitative research of clinicians' perspectives and experiences, we seek to inform rehabilitation clinicians about the various aspects of adopting and integrating robotic stroke therapy into clinical settings.

Towards quantifying dynamic human-human physical interactions for robot assisted stroke therapy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Human-Robot Interaction is a prominent field of robotics today. Knowledge of human-human physical interaction can prove vital in creating dynamic physical interactions between human and robots. Most of the current work in studying this interaction ha...
