Analysis of operational comfort in manual tasks using human force manipulability measure.

IEEE transactions on haptics
This paper proposes a scheme for human force manipulability (HFM) based on the use of isometric joint torque properties to simulate the spatial characteristics of human operation forces at an end-point of a limb with feasible magnitudes for a specifi...

Review on design and control aspects of ankle rehabilitation robots.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Ankle rehabilitation robots can play an important role in improving outcomes of the rehabilitation treatment by assisting therapists and patients in number of ways. Consequently, few robot designs have been proposed by researchers which fall under ei...

Dimensional Synthesis of 6-DOF Parallel Robot for Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: In order to meet the kinematic requirements of large range of motion, payload, and stiffness of Intra-Operative Radiation Therapy robots, a 6-degree-of-freedom (DOF) parallel platform (Stewart-Gough mechanism) is introduced and a dimensio...

Passive ankle and hindfoot kinematics within a robot-driven tibial movement envelope.

Journal of biomechanics
Accurate description of individual bone kinematics is essential for understanding individual foot and ankle joint function and interactions. While invasive and noninvasive techniques, including robotic simulators, have advanced the direct measurement...

Early efficacy observation of suspended lower-limb rehabilitation robot-assisted therapy in patients with intensive care unit-acquired weakness: a study protocol for a self-controlled randomised controlled trial.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICUAW) is a common and severe complication in critically ill patients, associated with high morbidity and poor prognosis. Despite increasing focus on ICUAW, definitive diagnostic and therapeutic st...

From human hand joints to continuum robot: how articular surface morphology shapes flexibility and stability in template-based designs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
The design of continuum robots often involves a dilemma between flexibility and stiffness, where increased flexibility may reduce stiffness and control precision. The human hand achieves both power grasp and precision grasp by leveraging different jo...

A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Physiotherapy: Improving Elbow Rehabilitation in Baseball Pitchers.

Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Throwing a baseball involves intense exposure of the arm to high speeds and powerful forces, which contributes to an increasing prevalence of arm injuries among athletes. Traditional rigid exoskeletons and rehabilitation equip...
