BACKGROUND: Our previous work showed that speed is linked to the ability to recover in chronic stroke survivors. Participants moving faster on the first day of a 3-week study had greater improvements on the Wolf Motor Function Test.
Individuals who have lost the use of their hands because of amputation or spinal cord injury can use prosthetic hands to restore their independence. A dexterous prosthesis requires the acquisition of control signals that drive the movements of the ro...

AIM: To determine if robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) using surface muscle electrical stimulation and locomotor training enhances mobility outcomes when compared to locomotor training alone in children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Prism adaptation is a method for studying visuomotor plasticity in healthy individuals, as well as for rehabilitating patients suffering spatial neglect. We developed a new set-up based on virtual-reality (VR) and haptic-robotics allowing us to induc...
Inspired by natural swarms such as bees and ants, various types of swarm robotic systems have been developed to work together to complete tasks that transcend individual capabilities. Autonomous robots controlled by collective algorithm and colloidal...
Owing to their compliance, lightweight, and high force density characteristics, pneumatic actuation systems have been widely implemented in various soft robots. However, pneumatic actuation systems exhibit low efficiency, poor control performance, an...
Robotic seals have been studied in long-term care settings; though, no studies of patients with dementia in the acute care setting have been reported. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of PARO interventions for hospitalized pa...
