Predictors of functional and motor outcomes following upper limb robot-assisted therapy after stroke.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Robot-assisted therapy is an effective treatment for stroke patients and has recently gained popularity. Clinicians and researchers are trying to identify predictors to stratify patients for ensuring better stroke rehabilitation outcomes. However, pr...

[Construction and analysis of muscle functional network for exoskeleton robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Exoskeleton nursing robot is a typical human-machine co-drive system. To full play the subjective control and action orientation of human, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze exoskeleton wearer's surface electromyography (EMG) in the process o...

Kinematic Redundancy Analysis during Goal-Directed Motion for Trajectory Planning of an Upper-Limb Exoskeleton Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The kinematic redundancy of human arm imposes challenges on joint space trajectory planning for upper-limb rehabilitation robot. This paper aims to investigate normal motion patterns in reaching and reach-to-grasp movements, and obtain the unique sol...

Synergy-Based Myocontrol of a Multiple Degree-of-Freedom Humanoid Robot for Functional Tasks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In the context of sensor-based human-robot interaction, a particularly promising solution is represented by myoelectric control schemes based on synergy-derived signals. We developed and tested on healthy subjects a synergy-based control to achieve s...

Automatic Inference of Rat's Hindlimb Trajectory to Synchronize with Forelimb Gait Through Phase.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Synchronous forelimb-hindlimb gait pattern is important to facilitate natural walking behavior of an injured rat with total transection. Since our ultimate research goal is to build a rehabilitation robotic system to simulate the natural walking patt...

Development of Cybernic Robot Arm to realize Support Action cooperated with Hemiplegic Person's Arm.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Hemiplegics have difficulty conducting various daily tasks because they must perform such tasks using only their unaffected arm. If a robot arm that can replace their missing upper-limb function is made available, it will greatly contribute to an imp...

Design and validation of two embodied mirroring setups for interactive games with autistic children using the NAO humanoid robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Socially assistive robots have shown potential benefits in therapy of child and elderly patients with social and cognitive deficits. In particular, for autistic children, humanoid robots could enhance engagement and attention, thanks to their simplif...

Improving Stability in Upper Limb Rehabilitation Using Variable Stiffness.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In a robotic rehabilitation setup, patient's safety and interaction stability are critical throughout the therapy. This paper addresses the stability aspect by proposing a method to vary the endpoint stiffness using a variable impedance mechanism. Th...

Indirect Robotic Movement Shaping through Motor Cost Influence.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Movement patterns are commonly disrupted after a neurological incident. The correction and recovery of these movement patterns is part of therapeutic practice, and should be considered in the development of robotic device control strategies. This is ...

Adaptive Continuous Integral-Sliding-Mode Controller for Wearable Robots: Application to an Upper Limb Exoskeleton.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper introduces an adaptive integral sliding mode controller for exoskeletons. The controller design is based on the hypothesis that only classical properties are known such as parameters' bounds, and all other functions are unknown. To ensure ...
