User Experience Evaluation of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robots: Implications for Design Optimization: A Pilot Study.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
With the development of science and technology, people are trying to use robots to assist in stroke rehabilitation training. This study aims to analyze the result of the formative test to provide the orientation of upper limb rehabilitation robot des...

Transformation of foldable robotic hand to scissor-like shape for pinching based on human hand movement.

Scientific reports
Increasing the number of degrees of freedom for multi-finger robotic hands is necessary to achieve high performance. However, this increases structural complexity and the obtained improvement may be small. Humans change the shape of their hands by ex...

Recognition of Grasping Patterns Using Deep Learning for Human-Robot Collaboration.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent advances in the field of collaborative robotics aim to endow industrial robots with prediction and anticipation abilities. In many shared tasks, the robot's ability to accurately perceive and recognize the objects being manipulated by the huma...

Design and Analysis of an Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot Based on Multimodal Control.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
To address the rehabilitation needs of upper limb hemiplegic patients in various stages of recovery, streamline the workload of rehabilitation professionals, and provide data visualization, our research team designed a six-degree-of-freedom upper lim...

Effectiveness of Robotics in Stroke Rehabilitation to Accelerate Upper Extremity Function: Systematic Review.

Occupational therapy international
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) combined with conventional therapy (CT) compared to CT alone in accelerating upper extremity (UE) recovery poststroke. . We searched five databases: Ovid, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed...

Touching reality: Bridging the user-researcher divide in upper-limb prosthetics.

Science robotics
Realistically improving upper-limb prostheses is only possible if we listen to users' actual technological needs.

A robot-aided visuomotor wrist training induces motor and proprioceptive learning that transfers to the untrained ipsilateral elbow.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Learning of a visuomotor task not only leads to changes in motor performance but also improves proprioceptive function of the trained joint/limb system. Such sensorimotor learning may show intra-joint transfer that is observable at a prev...

Soft Robotics to Enhance Upper Limb Endurance in Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis.

Soft robotics
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder that affects the central nervous system and can result in various symptoms, including muscle weakness, spasticity, and fatigue, ultimately leading to the deterioration of the musculoskeletal sy...

Feasibility, safety, and efficacy of task-oriented mirrored robotic training on upper-limb functions and activities of daily living in subacute poststroke patients: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotic training with high repetitions facilitates upper-limb movements but provides fewer benefits for activities of daily living. Integrating activities of daily living training tasks and mirror therapy into a robot may enhance the func...

Comparing Inertial Measurement Units to Markerless Video Analysis for Movement Symmetry in Quarter Horses.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: With an increasing number of systems for quantifying lameness-related movement asymmetry, between-system comparisons under non-laboratory conditions are important for multi-centre or referral-level studies. This study compares an artifici...
