Upper-Limb Motion Recognition Based on Hybrid Feature Selection: Algorithm Development and Validation.

JMIR mHealth and uHealth
BACKGROUND: For rehabilitation training systems, it is essential to automatically record and recognize exercises, especially when more than one type of exercise is performed without a predefined sequence. Most motion recognition methods are based on ...

Efficacy of wrist robot-aided orthopedic rehabilitation: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In recent years, many studies focused on the use of robotic devices for both the assessment and the neuro-motor reeducation of upper limb in subjects after stroke, spinal cord injuries or affected by neurological disorders. Contrarily, it...

Deep Learning-Based Image Automatic Assessment and Nursing of Upper Limb Motor Function in Stroke Patients.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This paper mainly introduces the relevant contents of automatic assessment of upper limb mobility after stroke, including the relevant knowledge of clinical assessment of upper limb mobility, Kinect sensor to realize spatial location tracking of uppe...

Human inspired fall arrest strategy for humanoid robots based on stiffness ellipsoid optimisation.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Falls are a common risk and impose severe threats to both humans and humanoid robots as a product of bipedal locomotion. Inspired by human fall arrest, we present a novel humanoid robot fall prevention strategy by using arms to make contact with envi...

Exoskeleton end-effector robot-assisted therapy for finger-hand motor recovery in stroke survivors: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: The growing number of stroke survivors with residual hand disabilities requires the development of efficient recovery therapy, and robotic rehabilitation can play an important role.

Bioinspired High-Degrees of Freedom Soft Robotic Glove for Restoring Versatile and Comfortable Manipulation.

Soft robotics
The human hand is one of the most complex and compact grippers that has arisen as a product of natural genetic engineering; it is highly versatile, as it handles power and precision tasks. Since proper contact points and force directions are required...

Beyond motor recovery after stroke: The role of hand robotic rehabilitation plus virtual reality in improving cognitive function.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
Robot-assisted hand training adopting end-effector devices results in an additional reduction of motor impairment in comparison to usual care alone in different stages of stroke recovery. These devices often allow the patient to perform practical, at...

Effect of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Participation of People with Limited Upper Limb Functioning: A Systematic Review with GRADE Recommendations.

Occupational therapy international
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that robot-assisted therapy (RT) is effective in treating impairment and that it may also improve individuals' participation.

The Effect of Applying Robot-Assisted Task-Oriented Training Using Human-Robot Collaborative Interaction Force Control Technology on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients: Preliminary Findings.

BioMed research international
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and the primary cause of acquired disability worldwide. Many stroke survivors have difficulty using their upper limbs, which have important functional roles in the performance of daily life activities. Con...

A scoping review of design requirements for a home-based upper limb rehabilitation robot for stroke.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Home-based robotic therapy is a trend of post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation. Although home-based upper limb rehabilitation robots have been developed over several decades, no design specification has been published.
