[Research on Control System of an Exoskeleton Upper-limb Rehabilitation Robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
In order to help the patients with upper-limb disfunction go on rehabilitation training,this paper proposed an upper-limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot with four degrees of freedom(DOF),and realized two control schemes,i.e.,voice control and elect...

Evaluation of a mixed controller that amplifies spatial errors while reducing timing errors.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Previous results suggest that haptic guidance enhances learning of the timing components of motor tasks, whereas error amplification is better for learning the spatial components. In this paper we evaluate a novel mixed guidance controller that combi...

Simulation of fluid environment using a robotic orthosis on human lower extremity for therapeutic purposes.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Rehabilitation under water is a viable physical rehabilitation option, but it has some limitations in terms of adapting to needs of each patient. In addition, its facility requirements are relatively high. Simulating the fluid environment using a rob...

New Prostheses and Orthoses Step Up their Game: Motorized Knees, Robotic Hands, and Exosuits Mark Advances in Rehabilitation Technology.

IEEE pulse
Forty years ago, Les Baugh lost both of his arms in an electrical accident. With bilateral shoulder-level amputations, his options for prosthetic arms were limited. That changed two years ago, when Baugh underwent a surgical procedure at Johns Hopkin...

Double closed-loop cascade control for lower limb exoskeleton with elastic actuation.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Unlike traditional rigid actuators, the significant features of Series Elastic Actuator (SEA) are stable torque control, lower output impedance, impact resistance and energy storage. Recently, SEA has been applied in many exoskeletons. In such applic...

Development of wrist rehabilitation robot and interface system.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
The authors have developed a practical wrist rehabilitation robot for hemiplegic patients. It consists of a mechanical rotation unit, sensor, grip, and computer system. A myoelectric sensor is used to monitor the extensor carpi radialis longus/brevis...

Planning, execution and monitoring of physical rehabilitation therapies with a robotic architecture.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Traditional methods of rehabilitation require continuous attention of therapists during the therapy sessions. This is a hard and expensive task in terms of time and effort. In many cases, the therapeutic objectives cannot be achieved due to the overw...
