Robotic assessment of bilateral and unilateral upper limb functions in adults with cerebral palsy.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP) exhibit motor impairments predominantly on one side of the body, while also having ipsilesional and bilateral impairments. These impairments are known to persist through adulthood, but their ex...

Assessing the Effect of Cervical Transcutaneous Spinal Stimulation With an Upper Limb Robotic Exoskeleton and Surface Electromyography.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) is a promising rehabilitative intervention to restore motor function and coordination for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). The effects of TSS are most commonly assessed by evaluating muscle response t...

Human-robot interaction in motor imagery: A system based on the STFCN for unilateral upper limb rehabilitation assistance.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Rehabilitation training based on the brain-computer interface of motor imagery (MI-BCI) can help restore the connection between the brain and movement. However, the performance of most popular MI-BCI system is coarse-level, which means th...

Active Neural Network Control for a Wearable Upper Limb Rehabilitation Exoskeleton Robot Driven by Pneumatic Artificial Muscles.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Pneumatic artificial muscle (PAM) has been widely used in rehabilitation and other fields as a flexible and safe actuator. In this paper, a PAM-actuated wearable exoskeleton robot is developed for upper limb rehabilitation. However, accurate modeling...

Direct Comparisons of Upper-Limb Motor Learning Performance Among Three Types of Haptic Guidance With Non-Assisted Condition in Spiral Drawing Task.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
In robot-assisted rehabilitation, it is unclear which type of haptic guidance is effective for regaining motor function because of the lack of direct comparisons among multiple types of haptic guidance. The objective of this study was to investigate ...

GMAC-A Simple Measure to Quantify Upper Limb Use From Wrist-Worn Accelerometers.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Various measures have been proposed to quantify upper-limb use through wrist-worn inertial measurement units. The two most popular traditional measures of upper-limb use - thresholded activity counts (TAC) and the gross movement (GM) score suffer fro...

Synthesize Personalized Training for Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Rehabilitation With Diversity Enhancement.

IEEE transactions on visualization and computer graphics
For upper limb rehabilitation, the robot-assisted technique in combination with serious games requires well-specified training plans. For the best quality of the rehabilitation process, customized game levels for each user are desired, while it is la...

Upper Limb Robots for Recovery of Motor Arm Function in Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Neurology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Robot technology to support upper limb (UL) rehabilitation poststroke has rapidly developed over the past 3 decades. We aimed to assess the effects of UL-robots (UL-RTs) on recovery of UL motor functioning and capacity post...
