A comparison of the effects and usability of two exoskeletal robots with and without robotic actuation for upper extremity rehabilitation among patients with stroke: a single-blinded randomised controlled pilot study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation of stroke survivors with upper extremity dysfunction may yield different outcomes depending on the robot type. Considering that excessive dependence on assistive force by robotic actuators may interfere with the pat...

Comparative Analysis of Cutting Forces, Torques, and Vibration in Drilling of Bovine, Porcine, and Artificial Femur Bone with Considerations for Robot Effector Stiffness.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Bone drilling is known as one of the most sensitive milling processes in biomedical engineering field. Fracture behavior of this cortical bone during drilling has attracted the attention of many researchers; however, there are still impending concern...

Accuracy of Pedicle Screw Placement and Four Other Clinical Outcomes of Robotic Guidance Technique versus Computer-Assisted Navigation in Thoracolumbar Surgery: A Meta-Analysis.

World neurosurgery
BACKGROUND: Robotic guidance (RG) pedicle screw placement has been increasingly used to improve the rate of insertion accuracy. However, the superiority of the RG technique over computer-assisted navigation (CAN) remains debatable.

First clinical experience with single-port robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (SP rTAMIS) for benign rectal neoplasms.

Techniques in coloproctology
BACKGROUND: The new da Vinci Single-Port (SP) robot is a single-arm four-channel robotic system well suited for endoluminal surgery. We report our initial experience performing SP robotic transanal minimally invasive surgery (SP rTAMIS) for rectal ne...

Wearable Biofeedback Improves Human-Robot Compliance during Ankle-Foot Exoskeleton-Assisted Gait Training: A Pre-Post Controlled Study in Healthy Participants.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The adjunctive use of biofeedback systems with exoskeletons may accelerate post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Wearable patient-oriented human-robot interaction-based biofeedback is proposed to improve patient-exoskeleton compliance regarding the intera...

Path Planning of Mobile Robots Based on a Multi-Population Migration Genetic Algorithm.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In the field of robot path planning, aiming at the problems of the standard genetic algorithm, such as premature maturity, low convergence path quality, poor population diversity, and difficulty in breaking the local optimal solution, this paper prop...

Effects of walking distance over robot-assisted training on walking ability in chronic stroke patients.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
An understanding of the dose-response during training is important to identify the rehabilitation programs to obtain the improvement in chronic stroke patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether distance-dose (distance walked across ...

Adoption of Single-Port Robotic Prostatectomy: Two Alternative Strategies.

Journal of endourology
To demonstrate two distinct methods for adopting the single-port (SP) robotic surgery system for robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) by two experienced robotic surgeons (J.D. and R.A.) and evaluate early outcomes with each strategy. ...

Ordered interpersonal synchronisation in ASD children via robots.

Scientific reports
Children with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD) experience persistent disrupted coordination in interpersonal synchronisation that is thought to be associated with deficits in neural connectivity. Robotic interventions have been explored for use with...

Improvement in early continence after introduction of periurethral suspension stitch in robotic prostatectomy.

Journal of robotic surgery
Early urinary incontinence remains a major source of morbidity for patients undergoing robotic prostatectomy. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the introduction of a suspension stitch would improve early urinary continence rates in pa...
