Reliable and valid robot-assisted assessments of hand proprioceptive, motor and sensorimotor impairments after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neurological injuries such as stroke often differentially impair hand motor and somatosensory function, as well as the interplay between the two, which leads to limitations in performing activities of daily living. However, it is challeng...

Robust control of a cable-driven rehabilitation robot for lower and upper limbs.

ISA transactions
In this research, a redundant cable-driven robust rehabilitation robot has been proposed for helping and automating the proper function of the patient's lower and upper limbs in the presence of uncertainties, disturbances, noise, and time delay using...

A deep convolutional neural network model for hand gesture recognition in 2D near-infrared images.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
The hand gesture recognition (HGR) process is one of the most vital components in human-computer interaction systems. Especially, these systems facilitate hearing-impaired people to communicate with society. This study aims to design a deep learning ...

Clinical validation of kinematic assessments of post-stroke upper limb movements with a multi-joint arm exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The clinical evaluation of the upper limb of severely impaired stroke patient is challenging. Sensor-based assessments may allow for an objective evaluation of this patient population. This study investigated the validity of a device-assi...

Customizing Robot-Assisted Passive Neurorehabilitation Exercise Based on Teaching Training Mechanism.

BioMed research international
Passive movement is an important mean of rehabilitation for stroke survivors in the early stage or with greater paralysis. The upper extremity robot is required to assist therapists with passive movement during clinical rehabilitation, while customiz...

State of the art and challenges for the classification of studies on electromechanical and robotic devices in neurorehabilitation: a scoping review.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: The rapid development of electromechanical and robotic devices has profoundly influenced neurorehabilitation. Growth in the scientific and technological aspects thereof is crucial for increasing the number of newly developed devices, an...

The adjunct of transcranial direct current stimulation to Robot-assisted therapy in upper limb post-stroke treatment.

Journal of medical engineering & technology
Transcranial direct current stimulation (TDCS) and robot-assisted therapy (RAT) proved to be promising interventions in post-stroke rehabilitation. However, the effects of combining the two treatments are not significantly clear. To determine the eff...

Low cost exoskeleton manipulator using bidirectional triboelectric sensors enhanced multiple degree of freedom sensory system.

Nature communications
Rapid developments of robotics and virtual reality technology are raising the requirements of more advanced human-machine interfaces for achieving efficient parallel control. Exoskeleton as an assistive wearable device, usually requires a huge cost a...

A calibrated deep learning ensemble for abnormality detection in musculoskeletal radiographs.

Scientific reports
Musculoskeletal disorders affect the locomotor system and are the leading contributor to disability worldwide. Patients suffer chronic pain and limitations in mobility, dexterity, and functional ability. Musculoskeletal (bone) X-ray is an essential t...
