A Clinically Relevant Method of Analyzing Continuous Change in Robotic Upper Extremity Chronic Stroke Rehabilitation.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Robots designed for rehabilitation of the upper extremity after stroke facilitate high rates of repetition during practice of movements and record precise kinematic data, providing a method to investigate motor recovery profiles over time...

The effects of robot-assisted gait training in progressive multiple sclerosis: A randomized controlled trial.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
BACKGROUND: Gait and mobility impairments are common in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), leading to reduced quality of life (QoL).

A scalable, high resolution strain sensing matrix suitable for tactile transduction.

Journal of biomechanics
The integration of tactile information, such as contact area, displacement magnitude, velocity, and acceleration, is paramount to the optimization of robotics in human-centric environments. Cost effective embeddable sensors with scalable receptive fi...

Quantitative Evaluation of Performance during Robot-assisted Treatment.

Methods of information in medicine
INTRODUCTION: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on "Methodologies, Models and Algorithms for Patients Rehabilitation".

Tibial rotation influences anterior knee stability--a robot-aided in-vitro study.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
BACKGROUND: Anterior cruciate ligament rupture can lead to symptomatic instability, especially during pivoting activities, which are often associated with increased anterior and rotational tibial loading. Therefore, the purpose of our robot-aided in-...

Estimation of Human Arm Joints Using Two Wireless Sensors in Robotic Rehabilitation Tasks.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents a novel kinematic reconstruction of the human arm chain with five degrees of freedom and the estimation of the shoulder location during rehabilitation therapy assisted by end-effector robotic devices. This algorithm is based on th...

Modeling 3D Environments through Hidden Human Context.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
The idea of modeling object-object relations has been widely leveraged in many scene understanding applications. However, as the objects are designed by humans and for human usage, when we reason about a human environment, we reason about it through ...

Tracking Multiple Video Targets with an Improved GM-PHD Tracker.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tracking multiple moving targets from a video plays an important role in many vision-based robotic applications. In this paper, we propose an improved Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (GM-PHD) tracker with weight penalization to effect...

Lounging with robots--social spaces of residents in care: A comparison trial.

Australasian journal on ageing
AIMS: To investigate whether robots could reduce resident sleeping and stimulate activity in the lounges of an older persons' care facility.
