Testing the Limit Range of Motion Safety Function of Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robots with an Anthropometrically Adjustable and Sensorized Dummy Limb.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Arm type or exoskeleton type rehabilitation robots move the patient's upper limb through one or more, either free or restrained connection points. The rehabilitation robot is unsafe if it moves the patient's upper limb beyond the limits of the anatom...

Proof-of-Concept: A Hands-Free Interface for Robot-Assisted Self-Feeding.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Eating and drinking is an essential part of every-day life. And yet, there are many people in the world today who rely on others to feed them. In this work, we present a prototype robot-assisted self-feeding system for individuals with movement disor...

AGREE: an upper-limb robotic platform for personalized rehabilitation, concept and clinical study design.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitation exoskeletons can supplement therapist-based training allowing post-stroke patients to perform functional, high-dosage, repetitive exercises. The use of robotic devices allows providing intense rehabilitation sessions and permits clinic...

Automatic and Personalized Adaptation of Therapy Parameters for Unsupervised Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation: a Pilot Evaluation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Growing evidence shows that increasing the dose of upper limb therapy after stroke might improve functional outcomes and unsupervised robot-assisted therapy may be a solution to achieve such an increase without adding workload on therapists. However,...

Cross-Validation of Machine Learning Models for the Functional Outcome Prediction after Post-Stroke Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The state of the art is still lacking an extensive analysis of which clinical characteristics are leading to better outcomes after robot-assisted rehabilitation on post-stroke patients. Prognostic machine learning-based models could promote the ident...

A sEMG Proportional Control for the Gripper of Patient Side Manipulator in da Vinci Surgical System.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
There is a large community of people with hand disabilities, and these disabilities can be a barrier to those looking to retain or pursue surgical careers. With the development of surgical robotics technologies, it may be possible to develop user int...

Human Performance of Three Hands in Unimanual, Bimanual and Trimanual Tasks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Trimanual operation using a robotic supernumerary limb is a new and challenging mechanism for human operators that could enable a single user to perform tasks requiring more than two hands. Foot-controlled interfaces have previously proven able to be...

A Practical Post-Stroke Elbow Spasticity Assessment Using an Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot: A Validation Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Spasticity is a motor disorder characterised by a velocity-dependent increase in muscle tone, which is critical in neurorehabilitation given its high prevalence and potential negative influence among the post-stroke population. Accurate measurement o...

Developing an Upper Limb Kinematics Database of Activities of Daily Living.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Open-access databases can facilitate data sharing among researchers and provide normative data for objective clinical assessment development, robotic design, and biomechanical modeling. However, most existing databases focus on gait, balance, and han...

Design of a 6-DoF Cost-effective Differential-drive based Robotic system for Upper-Limb Stroke Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper discusses the design, construction, and characteristics of a six degree of freedom (6-DoF) robotic upper limb stroke rehabilitation device. The device is primarily designed to be used by stroke survivors suffering from hemi-paresis, post s...
