OBJECTIVE: Joint dislocations are orthopedic emergencies that require prompt intervention. Automatic identification of these injuries could help improve timely patient care because diagnostic delays increase the difficulty of reduction. In this study...
INTRODUCTION: Emerging evidence suggests that robotic devices for upper limb rehabilitation after a stroke may improve upper limb function. For robotic upper limb rehabilitation in stroke to be successful, patients' experiences and those of the rehab...

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of using an Internet of things (IoT)-assisted tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and task-specific motor training (TSMT) as home programs for the upper-limb (UL) functions of patients with chronic strok...
Industry 4.0 transforms classical industrial systems into more human-centric and digitized systems. Close human-robot collaboration is becoming more frequent, which means security and efficiency issues need to be carefully considered. In this paper, ...

BACKGROUND: Robot-mediated training is increasingly considered as a rehabilitation intervention targeting upper limb disability. However, experiences of such an intervention have been rarely explored in the multiple sclerosis population. This mixed m...
Several industrial pick-and-place applications, such as collaborative assembly lines, rely on visual tracking of the parts. Recurrent occlusions are caused by the manipulator motion decrease line productivity and can provoke failures. This work provi...
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of exoskeleton robot-assisted passive range of motion for induction training in combination with conventional hand rehabilitation in patients with chronic stroke.
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation therapy plays a central role in upper extremity recovery of stroke. However, the efficacy of robotic training on the upper extremity is not yet well defined, and little attention has been devoted to its ...
Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Aug 23, 2022
BACKGROUND: Chronic upper extremity motor deficits are present in up to 65% of stroke survivors, and cognitive impairment is prevalent in 46-61% of stroke survivors even 10 years after their stroke. Robot-assisted therapy programs tend to focus on mo...
Humans learn about the environment by interacting with it. With an increasing use of computer and virtual applications as well as robotic and prosthetic devices, there is a need for intuitive interfaces that allow the user to have an embodied interac...
