The efficacy of robot-assisted training for patients with upper limb amputations who use myoelectric prostheses: a randomized controlled pilot study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The aim of this pilot study was to investigate whether a movement therapy robot can improve skills in using a myoelectric prosthesis by patients with upper limb amputations. This prospective randomized, controlled study included a total of eleven pat...

[Mechanical Design and Research of Wearable Exoskeleton Assisted Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
Based on the biomechanical mechanism of human upper limb, the disadvantages of traditional rehabilitation training and the current status of upper limb rehabilitation robot, a six degree of freedom, flexible adjustment, wearable upper limb rehabilita...

The effect of mirror therapy can be improved by simultaneous robotic assistance.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Standard mirror therapy (MT) is a well-established therapy regime for severe arm paresis after acquired brain injury. Bilateral robot-assisted mirror therapy (RMT) could be a solution to provide visual and somatosensory feedback simultane...

Design and kinematical performance analysis of the 7-DOF upper-limb exoskeleton toward improving human-robot interface in active and passive movement training.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Upper-limb rehabilitation robots have become an important piece of equipment in stroke rehabilitation. The design of exoskeleton mechanisms plays a key role to improve human-robot interface in the upper-limb movements under passive and ac...

Adaptive Cooperative Control for Hybrid FES-Robotic Upper Limb Devices: a Simulation Study.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Robotic systems and Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) are common technologies exploited in motor rehabilitation. However, they present some limits. To overcome the weaknesses of both approaches, hybrid cooperative devices have been developed, w...

Towards a Gaze-Informed Movement Intention Model for Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Gaze-based intention detection has been explored for robotic-assisted neuro-rehabilitation in recent years. As eye movements often precede hand movements, robotic devices can use gaze information to augment the detection of movement intention in uppe...

Real-time Estimation of the Strength Capacity of the Upper Limb for Physical Human-Robot Collaboration.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In physical Human-Robot Collaboration (pHRC), having an estimate of the operator's strength capacity can help implement control strategies. Currently, the trend is to integrate devices that can measure physiological signals. This is not always a viab...

Gaze-controlled Robot-assisted Painting in Virtual Reality for Upper-limb Rehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability. Robot-assisted rehabilitation systems show great promise for motor recovery after a stroke. In this work, we present a gazecontrolled robotic system for upper limb rehabilitation. Subjects perform a pa...

U-Limb: A multi-modal, multi-center database on arm motion control in healthy and post-stroke conditions.

GigaScience
BACKGROUND: Shedding light on the neuroscientific mechanisms of human upper limb motor control, in both healthy and disease conditions (e.g., after a stroke), can help to devise effective tools for a quantitative evaluation of the impaired conditions...
