Substituting some unassisted practice with robotic guidance: Assessing the feasibility of auditory-cued mixed practice for music-based interventions.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: There is equivocal evidence regarding the effectiveness of robotic guidance on the (re)learning of voluntary motor skills. Robotic guidance can improve the performance of continuous/ tracking skills, although being seldom more effective t...

Task-oriented arm training for stroke patients based on remote handling technology concepts: A feasibility study.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Improving arm-hand skill performance is a major therapeutic target in stroke rehabilitation. Arm-hand rehabilitation may be enriched in content and variation by using technology-assisted training. Especially for people with a severely aff...

Upper Limb Movement Decoding Scheme Based on Surface Electromyography Using Attention-Based Kalman Filter Scheme.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Convolutional neural network (CNN)-based models are widely used in human movement decoding based on surface electromyography. However, they capture only the spatial information of the surface electromyography and lack prior knowledge of the system, r...

Cortical activation in robot-assisted dynamic and static resistance training combining VR interaction: An fNIRS based pilot study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: There are few isometric training systems based on upper limb rehabilitation robots. Its efficacy and neural mechanism are not well understood.

[Follow control of upper limb rehabilitation training based on Kinect and NAO robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Gesture imitation is a common rehabilitation strategy in limb rehabilitation training. In traditional rehabilitation training, patients need to complete training actions under the guidance of rehabilitation physicians. However, due to the limited res...

May Dual Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhance the Efficacy of Robot-Assisted Therapy for Promoting Upper Limb Recovery in Chronic Stroke?

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether dual transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may enhance the efficacy of exoskeleton robotic training on upper limb motor functions in patients with chronic stroke.

ARMStick - An Intuitive Therapist Interface for Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robots.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Currently, therapists struggle with interaction of rehabilitation robots due to non-intuitive interfaces. Therefore their acceptance of these robots are limited. This paper presents the development of ARMStick, a lightweight and small robotic interfa...

A Random Tree Forest decision support system to personalize upper extremity robot-assisted rehabilitation in stroke: a pilot study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic-based rehabilitation administered by means of serious games certainly represents the frontier of rehabilitation treatments, offering a high degree of customization of therapy, to meet individual patients' needs and to tailor a proper rehabili...

Effect of variable transmission on body-powered prosthetic grasping.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Body-powered upper-limb prostheses remain a popular option for those with limb absence due to their passive nature. These devices typically feature a constant transmission ratio between the forces input by the user and the grasp forces output by the ...

Measuring Torque Production with a Robotic Exoskeleton during Cervical Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects a large number of individuals in the United States. Unfortunately, traditional neurorehabilitation therapy leaves out clinical populations with limited motor function, such as severe stroke or spinal cord injury, as t...
