Quantitative assessment of motor functions post-stroke: Responsiveness of upper-extremity robotic measures and its task dependence.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Technology aided measures offer a sensitive, accurate and time-efflcient approach for the assessment of sensorimotor function after neurological impairment compared to standard clinical assessments. This preliminary study investigated the relationshi...

Robotic therapy for phantom limb pain in upper limb amputees.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The system described in this paper combines virtual reality with haptic feedback to increase the level of immersion and invoke the sense of agency in patients with phantom limb pain with the aim of reducing perceived pain. This paper presents three c...

Human-robot sensor interface for cardiac rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the world. A program of cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is related to physical activities or exercises to regain the optimal quality of life. CR relies on the necessity to evaluate, control and supe...

Comparative performance analysis of M-IMU/EMG and voice user interfaces for assistive robots.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
People with a high level of disability experience great difficulties to perform activities of daily living and resort to their residual motor functions in order to operate assistive devices. The commercially available interfaces used to control assis...

Feasibility of using sphero in rehabilitation of children with autism in social and communication skills.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The majority of children with autism face difficulties in social interaction and communication skills. Consequently, in this paper we present a pilot study in which we explored the usability of Sphero as a rehabilitation tool for developing social an...

Robotic assistance for performing vocational rehabilitation activities using BaxBot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Activities of Daily Living (ADL's) refer to tasks that people do on a daily basis, such as self-feeding, cleaning the house, or bathing. These activities often require a degree of functional mobility that may be outside the ability of a person suffer...

Towards a situation-and-user-aware multi-modal motorized toilet system to assist older adults with disabilities: A user requirements study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In the recent decades state of the art technologies appeared in many areas to assist older adults with disabilities. However, one very essential activity of daily life, the toileting remained without any relevant development. The iToilet project of t...

Robotic set-up to quantify hand-eye behavior in motor execution and learning of children with autism spectrum disorder.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistence of social and communication impairment, and restricted and repetitive behaviors. However, motor disorders have also been described, but not ob...

Robotic assessment of the contribution of motor commands to wrist position sense.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Assessing joint position sense for rehabilitation after neurological injury provides a prognostic factor in recovery and long-term functional outcomes. A common method for testing joint position sense involves the active replication of a joint config...

Comparison of tongue interface with keyboard for control of an assistive robotic arm.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper demonstrates how an assistive 6 DoF robotic arm with a gripper can be controlled manually using a tongue interface. The proposed method suggests that it possible for a user to manipulate the surroundings with his or her tongue using the in...
