BACKGROUND: Exoskeletons have become an important tool to help patients with upper extremity motor dysfunction in rehabilitation training and life assistance. In the study of the upper limb exoskeleton, the human glenohumeral joint will produce accom...
BACKGROUND: Arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is the preferred vascular access (VA) for hemodialysis, but it is associated with high non-maturation and failure rates. Predicting patient-specific AVF maturation and postoperative changes in blood flow volume...
Personal identification using analysis of the internal and external characteristics of the human finger is currently an intensively developed topic. The work in this field concerns new methods of feature extraction and image analysis, mainly using mo...

BACKGROUND: Robots can generate rich kinematic datasets that have the potential to provide far more insight into impairments than standard clinical ordinal scales. Determining how to define the presence or absence of impairment in individuals using k...
This study aims at evaluating upper limb muscle coordination and activation in workers performing an actual use-case manual material handling (MMH). The study relies on the comparison of the workers' muscular activity while they perform the task, wit...
Robot-assisted rehabilitation training is an effective way to assist rehabilitation therapy. So far, various robotic devices have been developed for automatic training of central nervous system following injury. Multimodal stimulation such as visual ...
In this article, an automated method for tool condition monitoring is presented. When producing items in large quantities, pointing out the exact time when the element needs to be exchanged is crucial. If performed too early, the operator gets rid of...

BACKGROUND: Early identification of hand-prognosis-factors at patient's admission could help to select optimal synergistic rehabilitation programs based on conventional (COHT) or robot-assisted (RAT) therapies.
Vision is the main component of current robotics systems that is used for manipulating objects. However, solely relying on vision for hand-object pose tracking faces challenges such as occlusions and objects moving out of view during robotic manipula...
This study addresses time intervals during robot control that dominate user satisfaction and factors of robot movement that induce satisfaction. We designed a robot control system using electromyography signals. In each trial, participants were expos...
