Robot-Aided Upper-limb Proprioceptive Training in Three-Dimensional Space.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Proprioception, the ability to sense body position and limb movements in space without visual feedback, is one of the key factors in controlling body movements and performing activities of daily living. However, this capability might be affected afte...

Sleep Posture Classification Using Bed Sensor Data and Neural Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Sleep posture has been shown to be important in monitoring health conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), sleep apnea, pressure ulcers, and even blood pressure abnormalities. In this paper, we investigate the use of four hydraulic bed tran...

Robotic investigation on effect of stretch reflex and crossed inhibitory response on bipedal hopping.

Journal of the Royal Society, Interface
To maintain balance during dynamic locomotion, the effects of proprioceptive sensory feedback control (e.g. reflexive control) should not be ignored because of its simple sensation and fast reaction time. Scientists have identified the pathways of re...

Human emotion classification based on multiple physiological signals by wearable system.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Human emotion classification is traditionally achieved using multi-channel electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, which requires costly equipment and complex classification algorithms.

Simulation-based design for robotic care device: Optimizing trajectory of transfer support robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a framework of simulation-based design for robotic care devices developed to reduce the burden of caregiver and care receivers. First, physical interaction between the user and device is quantitatively estimated by using a digital...

Automated stand-up and sit-down detection for robot-assisted body-weight support training with the FLOAT.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Patients with impaired walking function are often dependent on assistive devices to retrain gait and regain independence in life. To provide adequate support, gait rehabilitation devices have to be manually set to the correct support mode or have to ...

A research on the postural stability of a person wearing the lower limb exoskeletal robot by the HAT model.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper proposes a method of detecting the postural stability of a person wearing the lower limb exoskeletal robot with the HAT(Head-Arm-Trunk) model. Previous studies have shown that the human posture is stable when the CoM(Center of Mass) of the...

SmartSock: a wearable platform for context-aware assessment of ankle edema.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Ankle edema an important symptom for monitoring patients with chronic systematic diseases. It is an important indicator of onset or exacerbation of a variety of diseases that disturb cardiovascular, renal, or hepatic system such as heart, liver, and ...

Human static postures analysis using empirical mode decomposition.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The goal of this paper is to analyze the human stability during static postures using stabilometric signals. The effects of subject's visual input, feet position, age and gender are analyzed. Twenty eight healthy subjects have participated in this st...
