Experiments and kinematics analysis of a hand rehabilitation exoskeleton with circuitous joints.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Aiming at the hand rehabilitation of stroke patients, a wearable hand exoskeleton with circuitous joint is proposed. The circuitous joint adopts the symmetric pinion and rack mechanism (SPRM) with the parallel mechanism. The exoskeleton finger is a s...

Trajectory planning and mechanic's analysis of lower limb rehabilitation robot.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
A new rehabilitation robot was designed. The robot included a suspension mechanism, a drive unit, and an adjustment mechanism. Additionally, innovative weight loss mechanism increased the dynamical device so that it could be used with patients of var...

Modulation of grasping force in prosthetic hands using neural network-based predictive control.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
This chapter describes the implementation of a neural network-based predictive control system for driving a prosthetic hand. Nonlinearities associated with the electromechanical aspects of prosthetic devices present great challenges for precise contr...
