Effects of the combined task-oriented trainings with botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection on improving motor functions and reducing spasticity remains unclear. This study aims to investigate effects of 3 task-oriented trainings (robot-assisted therap...
Robotic hands have long strived to reach the performance of human hands. The physical complexity and extraordinary capabilities of the human hand, in terms of sensing, actuation, and cognitive abilities, make achieving this goal challenging. At the h...
Assistive robotic manipulators (ARMs) provide a potential solution to mitigating the difficulties and lost independence associated with manipulation deficits in individuals with upper-limb impairments. However, achieving efficient control of an ARM c...
IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems

In order to explore the main action characteristics of hip hop dance, a deep learning recognition system based on dance action is proposed. The network is based on convolution, pooling, and full connection calculation in a convolutional neural networ...
Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
May 16, 2022
BACKGROUND: Cognitive and motor function must work together quickly and seamlessly to allow us to interact with a complex world, but their integration is difficult to assess directly. Interactive technology provides opportunities to assess motor acti...
Upper limb dysfunctions (ULD) are common following a stroke. Annually, more than 15 million people suffer a stroke worldwide. We have developed a 7 degrees of freedom (DoF) exoskeleton robot named the smart robotic exoskeleton () to provide upper lim...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
May 12, 2022
PURPOSE: Enormous assistance is required during rehabilitation activities, which might result in a variety of complications if performed manually. To solve this issue, several solutions in the form of assistive devices have been presented recently. A...
Upper limb amputation severely affects the quality of life and the activities of daily living of a person. In the last decade, many robotic hand prostheses have been developed which are controlled by using various sensing technologies such as artific...
