Towards providing efficient human-robot interaction, surface electromyogram (EMG) signals have been widely adopted for the identification of different limb movement intentions. Since the available EMG signal sensors are highly susceptible to external...
With the popularization of rehabilitation robots, it is necessary to develop quantitative motor function assessment methods for patients with a stroke. To make the assessment equipment easier to use in clinics and combine the assessment methods with ...
This paper presents the design of a motion intent recognition system, based on an altitude signal sensor, to improve the human-robot interaction performance of upper limb exoskeleton robots during rehabilitation training. A modified adaptive Kalman f...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a widespread, life-altering injury leading to impairment of sensorimotor function that, while once thought to be permanent, is now being treated with the hope of one day being able to restore function. Surface electromyogr...
Individuals with tetraplegia, typically attributed to spinal cord injuries (SCI) at the cervical level, experience significant health care costs and loss of independence due to their limited reaching and grasping capabilities. Neuromuscular electrica...
