A powered prosthetic intervention for bilateral transfemoral amputees.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
This paper presents the design and validation of a control system for a pair of powered knee and ankle prostheses to be used as a prosthetic intervention for bilateral transfemoral amputees. The control system leverages communication between the pros...

Biomechanical analysis on neurotypical and autism spectrum disorder people during human-cobot interaction.

Applied ergonomics
Biomechanical analysis is essential for assessing subjects interacting with robotic setups and platforms. However, in industrial scenarios, workers' biomechanics are assessed mainly through questionnaires and scales which provide limited objectivity....

An elbow passive exoskeleton with controllable assistance: Design and experimental.

The Review of scientific instruments
A passive exoskeleton is a wearable robotic device that is worn on the exterior of the user's body to provide physical support and facilitate movement. Existing elbow passive exoskeletons have limitations in their assistance capabilities and range of...

Hybrid Cooperative Control of Functional Electrical Stimulation and Robot Assistance for Upper Extremity Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Hybrid systems that integrate Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) and robotic assistance have been proposed in neurorehabilitation to enhance therapeutic benefits. This study focuses on designing a cooperative controller capable of dis...

Use of a Novel Artificial Intelligence Tool for Evaluating Primary Stability and Immediate Loading Suitability of Dental Implants: An In Vitro Pilot Study.

The International journal of oral & maxillofacial implants
PURPOSE: To evaluate the correspondence between output from a new artificial intelligence tool (AIT) and clinician evaluation regarding the immediate loading suitability of dental implants based on insertion torque curves recorded during implant plac...

[Voluntary and Adaptive Control Strategy for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
The control strategy of rehabilitation robots should not only adapt to patients with different levels of motor function but also encourage patients to participate voluntarily in rehabilitation training. However, existing control strategies usually co...

Preliminary Experimental Validation of a Cable-Driven Joint System for Custom Orthoses.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robot-assisted gait training has the potential to enhance gait therapy for children with mobility impairments. Robotic orthoses are designed to improve therapy session quality, but have shortcomings regarding compactness, weight, usability, and weare...

Pneumatic Relaxation Oscillator with Passive Components for Continuous Toes Movement.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Continuous passive motion of the toes improves blood circulation and may help ankle injuries heal faster. Soft devices are more appropriate than rigid devices to accommodate a variety of foot shapes. Most conventional pneumatic soft robots are actuat...

Hip Hiking Gait Improvement with Electrohydraulic Robotic Knee: Preliminary Results.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Individuals with Transfemoral Amputation (TFA) usually exhibit hip hiking walking with passive prostheses due to insufficient knee flexion. Powered knee prostheses can provide net-positive energy in the knee joint with improved gait symmetry. However...

Assessing the Physical Impact of Supernumerary Limbs on a Human Subject: A Simulation Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Wearable robotic systems physically interact with the human user, and it may alternate human body states. It has been studied to exploit the dynamics of Supernumerary Robotic Limbs (SRLs) to assist human balancing by constructing a closed-chain. Howe...
