[Kinematics Modeling and Analysis of Central-driven Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation after Stroke].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
The present paper proposed a central-driven structure of upper limb rehabilitation robot in order to reduce the volume of the robotic arm in the structure, and also to reduce the influence of motor noise, radiation and other adverse factors on upper ...

Robot-Assisted Reach Training for Improving Upper Extremity Function of Chronic Stroke.

The Tohoku journal of experimental medicine
Stroke, as a major risk factor for chronic impairment of upper limb function, can severely restrict the activities of daily living. Recently, robotic devices have been used to enhance the functional upper extremity movement of stroke patients. The pu...

Use of Machine Learning to Identify Children with Autism and Their Motor Abnormalities.

Journal of autism and developmental disorders
In the present work, we have undertaken a proof-of-concept study to determine whether a simple upper-limb movement could be useful to accurately classify low-functioning children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) aged 2-4. To answer this question, ...

A proposal for patient-tailored supervision of movement performance during end-effector-based robot-assisted rehabilitation of the upper extremities.

Biomedizinische Technik. Biomedical engineering
Millions of people worldwide suffer from stroke each year. One way to assist patients cost-effectively during their rehabilitation process is using end-effector-based robot-assisted rehabilitation. Such systems allow patients to use their own movemen...

Modeling and design of a tendon actuated soft robotic exoskeleton for hemiparetic 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
Robotic technology has recently been explored as a means to rehabilitate and assist individuals suffering from hemiparesis of their upper limbs. Robotic approaches allow for targeted rehabilitation routines which are more personalized and adaptable w...

Voice-Activated Lightweight Reacher to Assist with Upper Extremity Movement Limitations: A Case Study.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The focus of this research was to design a functional and user-friendly reacher for people with spinal cord injuries (SCIs). Engineering advancements have taken assistive robotics to new dimensions. Technologies such as wheelchair robotics and myo-el...
