A Decision Support System to Provide an Ongoing Prediction of Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation Outcome in Stroke Survivors.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Clinicians often deal with complex robotic platform and serious games in stroke patients rehabilitation contexts, and they face two main problems: 1) the interpretation of either the performance in game or measures of a robotic system from the motor ...

Hybrid Rehabilitation System with Motion Estimation Based on EMG Signals.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Patients with upper limb paralysis undergo various types of rehabilitation to reconstruct upper limb functions necessary for their return to daily life and social activities. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an effective rehabilitation support s...

Cooperative Goal Generation for Reaching Tasks in Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted neurorehabilitation requires automated generation of goal positions for reaching tasks in functional movement therapy. In state-of-the-art solutions, these positions are determined by a motivational therapy game either through constrai...

EMG-Based Control Strategies of a Supernumerary Robotic Hand for the Rehabilitation of Sub-Acute Stroke Patients: Proof of Concept.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
One of the most frequent and severe aftermaths of a stroke is the loss of upper limb functionality. Therapy started in the sub-acute phase proved more effective, mainly when the patient participates actively. Recently, a novel set of rehabilitation a...

Impedance Control of a 2-DOF Spherical 5-Bar Exoskeleton for Physical Human-Robot Interaction During Rehabilitation and Assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a novel impedance controller for THINGER (THumb INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot), a 2-degree-of-freedom (DOF) spherical 5-bar exoskeleton designed to augment FINGER (Finger INdividuating Grasp Exercise Robot). Many rehabilitati...

Assessing Human-Human Kinematics for the Implementation of Robot-Assisted Physical Therapy in Humanoids: A Pilot Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The development of humanoids with bimanual manipulator arms may facilitate assistive robots to perform physical therapy with older adults living at home. As we assume the human-human interaction to be the gold standard of physical therapy, we propose...

Process Evaluation of the Optimized Provision of AT for Impaired Upper Extremity Function Within the OMARM Study.

Studies in health technology and informatics
A quality standard for the ICF-oriented provision of arm supports and robotic arms was designed. To facilitate this new working method, tools were developed in co-creation with all stakeholders. Professionals received training and were asked to apply...

A Completely Portable and Concealable, Lightweight Assistive Exosuit for Upper Limbs.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Exosuits are a relatively new trend in wearable robotics to answer the flaws of their exoskeleton counterparts, but they remain impractical as the lack of rigidity in their frames makes the integration of crucial components into a single unit a chall...

Analysis of Motor Control and Learning in Human-Robot Interaction during Game Guided Movements.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic devices can be used in upper limb rehabilitation in order to help the total or partial functional recovery. Robots can perform repetitive activities for a long period of time, which may be beneficial for rehabilitation processes. In this cont...

Adaptive Learning based Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Training System with Collaborative Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Rehabilitation training for patients with motor disabilities usually requires specialized devices in rehabilitation centers. Home-based multi-purpose training would significantly increase treatment accessibility and reduce medical costs. While it is ...
