PURPOSE: To determine how differences in frequency of the single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) use affect the improvement of upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients.
Computer vision has shown promising potential in wearable robotics applications (e.g., human grasping target prediction and context understanding). However, in practice, the performance of computer vision algorithms is challenged by insufficient or b...
The central-to-peripheral voluntary motor effort (VME) in the affected limb is a dominant force for driving the functional neuroplasticity on motor restoration post-stroke. However, current rehabilitation robots isolated the central and peripheral in...
For haptic interaction, a user in a virtual environment needs to interact with proxies attached to a robot. The device must be at the exact location defined in the virtual environment in time. However, due to device limitations, delays are always una...

BACKGROUND: Many diagnostic robotic devices have been developed to quantify viscoelastic properties and spasticity of patients with upper motor neuron lesions. However, in clinical practice, subjective and nonvalid clinical scales are still commonly ...
Rehabilitation training and movement evaluation after stroke have become a research hotspot as stroke has become a very common and harmful disease. However, traditional rehabilitation training and evaluation are mainly conducted under the guidance of...
Stroke is a common reason for motor disability and is often associated with spasticity and poor motor function of the upper limbs involved. Spasticity management is important to accelerate motor recovery. The objective of this study was to investiga...
