This paper provides an in-depth study and analysis of robot vision features for predictive control and a global calibration of their feature completeness. The acquisition and use of the complete macrofeature set are studied in the context of a robot ...
Soft actuators (SAs) have been used in many compliant robotic structure and wearable devices, due to their safe interaction with the wearers. Despite advances, the capability of current SAs is limited by scalability, high hysteresis, and slow respons...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained to identify abnormalities on upper extremity radiographs achieved an AUC of 0.844 with a frequent emphasis on radiograph laterality and/or technologist labels for decision-making. Covering the labels incre...
Combining single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) with botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) therapy is novel and has great therapeutic potential for the rehabilitation of stroke patients with upper limb paralysis. The purpose of this observational case seri...

A nonlinear Time Delay Estimation (TDE) based model reference adaptive impedance controller was developed for Tarbiat Modares University Upper Limbs Rehabilitation Robot (TUERR). The proposed controller uses a stable reference impedance model, which ...
Analysis of kinematic features related to clinical assessment scales may qualitatively improve the evaluation of upper extremity movements of stroke patients. We aimed to investigate kinematic features that could correlate the change in the Fugl-Meye...
PURPOSE: This study was aimed toward developing a lightweight assisting tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and to examine the performance of the TIGER in stroke patients with hemiplegia.

BACKGROUND: Most stroke survivors have sustained upper limb impairment in their distal joints. An electromyography (EMG)-driven wrist/hand exoneuromusculoskeleton (WH-ENMS) was developed previously. The present study investigated the feasibility of a...
BACKGROUND: The sequence of establishing a proximal stability or function before facilitation of the distal body part has long been recognized in stroke rehabilitation practice but lacks scientific evidence. This study plans to examine the effects of...
