One of the common disorders in people with quadriplegia is having a weak grip strength that can affect activities of daily living (ADL). This study presents the design of a soft robotic glove via pneumatic actuators and feasibility according to a ran...
Prosthetic arms controlled by a brain-computer interface can enable people with tetraplegia to perform functional movements. However, vision provides limited feedback because information about grasping objects is best relayed through tactile feedback...
BACKGROUND: Technology to restore the ability to communicate in paralyzed persons who cannot speak has the potential to improve autonomy and quality of life. An approach that decodes words and sentences directly from the cerebral cortical activity of...
We present an implantable brain-computer interface surgical case assisted by robotic navigation system in an elderly patient with tetraplegia caused by cervical spinal cord injury. Left primary motor cortex was selected for implantation of microelect...

Previous studies have described inductive tongue computer interfaces (ITCI) as a way to manipulate and control assistive robotics, and at least one commercial company is manufacturing ITCI today. This case report investigates the influence of an ITCI...
PURPOSE: Activity-based Training (ABT) represents the current standard of neurological rehabilitation. Robotic Locomotor Training (RLT), an innovative technique, aims to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. This study aimed to conduct a randomized pilot ...

Increasing the independence of individuals with tetraplegia is a challenging task. One potential solution is to allow for use of an assistive robotic manipulator (ARM), when solving tasks in personal and remote space. There is a lack in available con...
Assistive robots can be developed to restore or provide more autonomy for individuals with motor impairments. In particular, power wheelchairs can compensate lower-limb impairments, while robotic manipulators can compensate upper-limbs impairments. R...
