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 ...

NeBULA: A Standardized Protocol for the Benchmarking of Robotic-based Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The use of robotic technologies in neurorehabilitation is growing, because they allow highly repeatable exercise protocols and patient-tailored therapies. However, there is a lack of objective methods for assessing these technologies, which makes it ...

A Prototype System for High Frame Rate Ultrasound Imaging based Prosthetic Arm Control.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The creation of unique control methods for a hand prosthesis is still a problem that has to be addressed. The best choice of a human-machine interface (HMI) that should be used to enable natural control is still a challenge. Surface electromyography ...

Using workspace restrictiveness for adaptive velocity adjustment of assistive robots and upper limb exoskeletons.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Individuals with severe disabilities can benefit from assistive robotic systems (ARS) for performing activities of daily living. However, limited control interfaces are available for individuals who cannot use their hands for the control, and most of...

EEG Cortical Source Feature based Hand Kinematics Decoding using Residual CNN-LSTM Neural Network.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Motor kinematics decoding (MKD) using brain signal is essential to develop Brain-computer interface (BCI) system for rehabilitation or prosthesis devices. Surface electroencephalogram (EEG) signal has been widely utilized for MKD. However, kinematic ...

Upper-Limb Rehabilitation of Patients with Neuromotor Deficits Using Impedance-Based Control of a 6-DOF Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper presents a study on the use of impedance-based control of a 6-degree-of-freedom robot for upper-limb rehabilitation of patients with neuromotor deficits. The control strategy is based on impedance and does not require external force sensor...

Efficacy and Dose of Rehabilitation Approaches for Severe Upper Limb Impairments and Disability During Early Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review.

Physical therapy
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of the efficacy of rehabilitation approaches for improving severe upper limb impairments and disability during acute and early subacute stroke, taking into consideration the dosage of t...

The effect of training using an upper limb rehabilitation robot (HEXO-UR30A) in chronic stroke patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: Upper limb robotic rehabilitation can be beneficial to the patients when applied appropriately. HEXO-UR30A is a novel exoskeletal type upper limb rehabilitation robot that provides continuous passive motion to the shoulder joint.
