Robot-Based Measures of Upper Limb Cognitive-Motor Interference Across the HIV-Stroke Spectrum.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-based neurorehabilitation strategies often ignore cognitive performance during treatment, but this is a need in populations dealing with a wide variety of cognitive and motor impairments, such as the stroke and HIV populations, for which an ass...

A Model Inversion Procedure for Control of Nonlinear Series Elastic Actuators.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a model inversion procedure for a viscoelastic compliant element contained within a rotary series elastic actuator (SEA). Model inversion plays an important role in enabling accurate model-based control of physical human-robot int...

Design and Characterization of a Robotic Device for the Assessment of Hand Proprioceptive, Motor, and Sensorimotor Impairments.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Hand function is often impaired after neurological injuries such as stroke. In order to design patient-specific rehabilitation, it is essential to quantitatively assess those deficits. Current clinical scores cannot provide the required level of deta...

Towards an Adaptive Upper Limb Rehabilitation Game with Tangible Robots.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
A key feature of a successful game is its ability to provide the player with an adequate level of challenge. However, the objective of difficulty adaptation in serious games is not only to maintain the player's motivation by challenging, but also to ...

Voice Control Interface Prototype for Assistive Robots for People Living with Upper Limb Disabilities.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents a voice control interface prototype for assistive robots aiming to help people living with upper limb disabilities to perform daily activities autonomously. Assistive robotic devices can be used to help people with upper-body disa...

The economic cost of robotic rehabilitation for adult stroke patients: a systematic review.

JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review was to examine the economic cost of robotic therapy compared to conventional therapy for adult stroke patients, from the perspective of hospitals.

Quantifying upper extremity performance with and without assistance of a soft-robotic glove in elderly patients: A kinematic analysis.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To explore the direct influence of a soft-robotic glove on movement duration and movement execution in elderly people with decreased hand function during a reach-and-grasp task.

Rhythmic robotic training enhances motor skills of both rhythmic and discrete upper-limb movements after stroke: a longitudinal pilot study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Discrete and rhythmic movements are two fundamental motor primitives being, at least partially, controlled by separate neural circuitries. After a stroke, both primitives may be impaired in the upper limb. Currently, intensive functional movement the...

Validation of a robot serious game assessment protocol for upper limb motor impairment in children with cerebral palsy.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The ROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of fo...
