The Use of Stepper Motor-Controlled Proportional Valve for Fio Calculation in the Ventilator and its Control with Fuzzy Logic.

Journal of medical systems
This article proposes the employment of a proportional valve that can calculate the amount of oxygen in the air to be given to patient in accordance with the amount of FiO which is set from the control menu of the ventilation device. To actualize thi...

Gait-Event-Based Synchronization Method for Gait Rehabilitation Robots via a Bioinspired Adaptive Oscillator.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
In the field of gait rehabilitation robotics, achieving human-robot synchronization is very important. In this paper, a novel human-robot synchronization method using gait event information is proposed. This method includes two steps. First, seven ga...

Developing a Wearable Ankle Rehabilitation Robotic Device for in-Bed Acute Stroke Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Ankle movement training is important in motor recovery post stroke and early intervention is critical to stroke rehabilitation. However, acute stroke survivors receive motor rehabilitation in only a small fraction of time, partly due to the lack of e...

The SSSA-MyHand: A Dexterous Lightweight Myoelectric Hand Prosthesis.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The replacement of a missing hand by a prosthesis is one of the most fascinating challenges in rehabilitation engineering. State of art prostheses are curtailed by the physical features of the hand, like poor functionality and excessive weight. Here ...

Robot deployment in long-term care : Case study on using a mobile robot to support physiotherapy.

Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie
BACKGROUND: Healthcare systems in industrialized countries face the challenge of providing care for a growing number of elderly people. Information technology has the possibility of facilitating this process by providing support for nursing staff and...

Effectiveness of a social robot, "Paro," in a VA long-term care setting.

Psychological services
Interest in animal assisted interventions (AAI) has grown over the years, but acceptance of AAI by the clinical and research community has been hampered by safety, hygiene, and logistical concerns. Advances in the field of social robotics have provid...

Experimental new automatic tools for robotic stereotactic neurosurgery: towards "no hands" procedure of leads implantation into a brain target.

Journal of neural transmission (Vienna, Austria : 1996)
The use of robotics in neurosurgery and, particularly, in stereotactic neurosurgery, is becoming more and more adopted because of the great advantages that it offers. Robotic manipulators easily allow to achieve great precision, reliability, and rapi...

First-in-human robotic percutaneous coronary intervention for unprotected left main stenosis.

Catheterization and cardiovascular interventions : official journal of the Society for Cardiac Angiography & Interventions
The safety and feasibility of robotically-assisted percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for simple coronary lesions has been demonstrated. The CorPath robotic system (Corpath 200, Corindus, Waltham, MA) consists of a robotic arm mounted on the ca...

Monitoring of total positive end-expiratory pressure during mechanical ventilation by artificial neural networks.

Journal of clinical monitoring and computing
Ventilation treatment of acute lung injury (ALI) requires the application of positive airway pressure at the end of expiration (PEEP) to avoid lung collapse. However, the total pressure exerted on the alveolar walls (PEEP) is the sum of PEEP and intr...
