The effect of haptic interaction between balance assessment robot and pelvis on muscle activation of leg muscles.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Admittance control is considered as a promising paradigm in rehabilitation that provides us with means to establish well controlled and adjustable interaction and cooperation between rehabilitation devices and patients. Recently we developed balance ...

A novel robot-assisted training approach for improving gait symmetry after stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait asymmetry as a consequence of hemiparesis is known as a serious long-term disability, where typical compensatory gait movements are used by stroke subjects in order to cope with their daily activities. This study presents a gait symmetry trainin...

MIT-Skywalker: On the use of a markerless system.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper describes our efforts to employ the Microsoft Kinect as a low cost vision control system for the MIT-Skywalker, a robotic gait rehabilitation device. The Kinect enables an alternative markerless solution to control the MIT-Skywalker and al...

How do strength and coordination recovery interact after stroke? A computational model for informing robotic training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic devices can train strength, coordination, or a combination of both. If a robotic device focuses on coordination, what happens to strength recovery, and vice versa? Understanding this interaction could help optimize robotic training. We develo...

A multichannel-near-infrared-spectroscopy-triggered robotic hand rehabilitation system for stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
There is a demand for a new neurorehabilitation modality with a brain-computer interface for stroke patients with insufficient or no remaining hand motor function. We previously developed a robotic hand rehabilitation system triggered by multichannel...

Improving robotic stroke rehabilitation by incorporating neural intent detection: Preliminary results from a clinical trial.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the preliminary findings of a multi-year clinical study evaluating the effectiveness of adding a brain-machine interface (BMI) to the MAHI-Exo II, a robotic upper limb exoskeleton, for elbow flexion/extension rehabilitation in chr...

Feedforward model based arm weight compensation with the rehabilitation robot ARMin.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Highly impaired stroke patients at early stages of recovery are unable to generate enough muscle force to lift the weight of their own arm. Accordingly, task-related training is strongly limited or even impossible. However, as soon as partial or full...

A pilot study on the optimal speeds for passive wrist movements by a rehabilitation robot of stroke patients: A functional NIRS study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The optimal conditions inducing proper brain activation during performance of rehabilitation robots should be examined to enhance the efficiency of robot rehabilitation based on the concept of brain plasticity. In this study, we attempted to investig...

Use of Lower-Limb Robotics to Enhance Practice and Participation in Individuals With Neurological Conditions.

Pediatric physical therapy : the official publication of the Section on Pediatrics of the American Physical Therapy Association
PURPOSE: To review lower-limb technology currently available for people with neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or other conditions. We focus on 3 emerging technologies: treadmill-based training devices, exoskeletons, and oth...

Robotic devices and brain-machine interfaces for hand rehabilitation post-stroke.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To review the state of the art of robotic-aided hand physiotherapy for post-stroke rehabilitation, including the use of brain-machine interfaces. Each patient has a unique clinical history and, in response to personalized treatment needs, ...
