Effect of robot-assisted gait training on improving cardiopulmonary function in stroke patients: a meta-analysis.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: Understanding the characteristics related to cardiorespiratory fitness after stroke can provide reference values for patients in clinical rehabilitation exercise. This meta- analysis aimed to investigate the effect of robot-assisted gait t...

Fillable Magnetic Microrobots for Drug Delivery to Cardiac Tissues In Vitro.

Advanced healthcare materials
Many cardiac diseases, such as arrhythmia or cardiogenic shock, cause irregular beating patterns that must be regulated to prevent disease progression toward heart failure. Treatments can include invasive surgery or high systemic drug dosages, which ...

Task-Oriented Training by a Personalized Electromyography-Driven Soft Robotic Hand in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Intensive task-oriented training has shown promise in enhancing distal motor function among patients with chronic stroke. A personalized electromyography (EMG)-driven soft robotic hand was developed to assist task-oriented object-manipula...

Liver respiratory-induced motion estimation using abdominal surface displacement as a surrogate: robotic phantom and clinical validation with varied correspondence models.

International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery
PURPOSE: This work presents the implementation of an RGB-D camera as a surrogate signal for liver respiratory-induced motion estimation. This study aims to validate the feasibility of RGB-D cameras as a surrogate in a human subject experiment and to ...

No playing around with robots? Ambivalent attitudes toward the use of Paro in elder care.

Nursing inquiry
This paper explores the ways in which health care professionals, family carers, and older persons expressed attitudes and opinions on using Paro, a social robot designed to stimulate patients with dementia. Thereafter, we critically evaluate existing...

Thermally Drawn-Based Microtubule Soft Continuum Robot for Cardiovascular Intervention.

ACS applied materials & interfaces
Cardiovascular disease is becoming the leading cause of human mortality. In order to address this, flexible continuum robots have emerged as a promising solution for miniaturizing and automating vascular interventional equipment for diagnosing and tr...

Investigation of Motor Learning Effects Using a Hybrid Rehabilitation System Based on Motion Estimation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Upper-limb paralysis requires extensive rehabilitation to recover functionality for everyday living, and such assistance can be supported with robot technology. Against such a background, we have proposed an electromyography (EMG)-driven hybrid rehab...

Microsaccade-inspired event camera for robotics.

Science robotics
Neuromorphic vision sensors or event cameras have made the visual perception of extremely low reaction time possible, opening new avenues for high-dynamic robotics applications. These event cameras' output is dependent on both motion and texture. How...

Evaluating initial usability of a hand augmentation device across a large and diverse sample.

Science robotics
The advancement of motor augmentation and the broader domain of human-machine interaction rely on a seamless integration with users' physical and cognitive capabilities. These considerations may markedly fluctuate among individuals on the basis of th...
