BACKGROUND: Paresis of the upper limb (UL) is the most frequent impairment after a stroke. Hybrid neuroprostheses, i.e., the combination of robots and electrical stimulation, have emerged as an option to treat these impairments.
Passive rehabilitation training in the early poststroke period can promote the reshaping of the nervous system. The trajectory should integrate the physicians' experience and the patient's characteristics. And the training should have high accuracy o...

This article is about vibration-damping robotic eating devices designed for use by people who have difficulty in eating due to hand tremors due to neuromuscular system disorder. The robotic eating device has two degrees of freedom (DoF). It contains ...
Interest in home-based stroke rehabilitation mechatronics, which includes both robots and sensor mechanisms, has increased over the past 12 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the existing lack of access to rehabilitation for stroke survivor...
Robotic systems for lower limb rehabilitation are essential for improving patients' physical conditions in lower limb rehabilitation and assisting patients with various locomotor dysfunctions. These robotic systems mainly integrate sensors, actuation...
Upper extremity hemiplegia is a serious problem affecting the lives of many people post-stroke. Motor recovery requires high repetitions and quality of task-specific practice. Sufficient practice cannot be completed during therapy sessions, requiring...
BACKGROUND: The underlying motivation of this work is to demonstrate that artificial muscle activity of known and unknown motion can be generated based on motion parameters, such as angular position, acceleration, and velocity of each joint (or the e...

When the terminal upper limb rehabilitation robot is used for motion-assisted training, collisions between the manipulator links and the human upper limb may occur due to the null-space self-motion of the redundant manipulator. A null-space impedance...
The quantum many-body problem is ultimately a curse of dimensionality: the state of a system with many particles is determined by a function with many dimensions, which rapidly becomes difficult to efficiently store, evaluate and manipulate numerical...
