Rehabilitation for hemiplegia using an upper limb training system based on a force direction.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hemiplegia patients have complete paralysis of half their body, and encounter many challenges in living an independent life. Rehabilitation of the lower body is more important than that of the upper body for independent living; thus, recovering upper...

Effect of human-robot interaction on muscular synergies on healthy people and post-stroke chronic patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted training is a widely used technique to promote motor re-learning on post-stroke patients that suffer from motor impairment. While it is commonly accepted that robot-based therapies are potentially helpful, strong insights about their e...

MIT-Skywalker: Evaluating comfort of bicycle/saddle seat.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The MIT-Skywalker is a robotic device developed for the rehabilitation of gait and balance after a neurological injury. This device has been designed based on the concept of a passive walker and provides three distinct training modes: discrete moveme...

Clinical effectiveness of combined virtual reality and robot assisted fine hand motion rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted therapy is regarded as an effective and reliable method for the delivery of highly repetitive rehabilitation training in restoring motor skills after a stroke. This study focuses on the rehabilitation of fine hand motion skills due to ...

Comparison of kinematic and EMG parameters between unassisted, fixed- and adaptive-stiffness robotic-assisted ankle movements in post-stroke subjects.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present an assist-as-needed scheme that effectively adapted the assistance provided by an ankle rehabilitation robot according to patient's participation and performance during therapeutic movements. We performed an error-based esti...

An optimized design of a parallel robot for gait training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The guidelines for enhancing robot-assisted training for post-stroke survivors head towards increasing exercise realism and variability; in particular lower limb rehabilitation needs the patient to feel challenged to adapt his locomotion and dynamic ...

Effects of partial body-weight support and functional electrical stimulation on gait characteristics during treadmill locomotion: Pros and cons of saddle-seat-type body-weight support.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic therapy for rehabilitation of the lower extremity is currently in its early stage of development. Aiming at exploring an efficacious intervention for gait rehabilitation, we investigate the characteristics of an end-effector gait-training dev...

Preliminary assessment of a lower-limb exoskeleton controller for guiding leg movement in overground walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper describes the design, implementation, and preliminary validation of a controller for a powered lower-limb exoskeleton that reshapes a user's leg movement during over-ground walking. The intended application of the controller is to facilita...

Motor adaptation to lateral pelvis assistance force during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The goal of this study was to determine how individuals post-stroke response to the lateral assistance force applied to the pelvis during treadmill walking. Ten individuals post chronic (> 6 months) stroke were recruited to participate in this study....

Research of the BWS system for lower extremity rehabilitation robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Body weight support (BWS) system is increasingly used in conjunction with treadmills to assist the patients with neurological impairments. Owing to lower limbs of the patients unable to bear the whole weight during the rehabilitation training, some w...
