Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
May 21, 2020
OBJECTIVE: To assess the utility of applying natural language processing (NLP) to electronic health records (EHRs) to identify individuals with chronic mobility disability.
Three-dimensional modelling of wheelchair contrived with lower limb exoskeleton for right hemiplegic dysfunction.
Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Apr 7, 2020
Hemiplegia is a type of paralysis that affects one side of the body due to stroke, characterizing severe weakness or rigid movement. Many people of different age groups are affected by this condition which cannot be completely cured but can be minimi...
Development of a Data Logger for Capturing Human-Machine Interaction in Wheelchair Head-Foot Steering Sensor System in Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dec 7, 2019
The use of data logging systems for capturing wheelchair and user behavior has increased rapidly over the past few years. Wheelchairs ensure more independent mobility and better quality of life for people with motor disabilities. Especially, for peop...
A Bayesian Shared Control Approach for Wheelchair Robot With Brain Machine Interface.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dec 6, 2019
To enhance the performance of the brain-actuated robot system, a novel shared controller based on Bayesian approach is proposed for intelligently combining robot automatic control and brain-actuated control, which takes into account the uncertainty o...
Optimized artificial neural network based performance analysis of wheelchair movement for ALS patients.
Artificial intelligence in medicine
Nov 9, 2019
Individuals with neurodegenerative attacks loose the entire motor neuron movements. These conditions affect the individual actions like walking, speaking impairment and totally make the person in to locked in state (LIS). To overcome the miserable co...
Person transfer assist systems: a literature review.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Oct 12, 2019
OBJECTIVE: Novel developments in the robotics field have produced systems that can support person wheelchair transfers, maximize safety and reduce caregiver burden. The purpose of this study was to identify and describe these systems, their usability...
A Heuristic Approach to Overcome Architectural Barriers Using a Robotic Wheelchair.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Aug 9, 2019
The Mobility Enhancement roBotic (MEBot) wheelchair was developed to improve the safety and accessibility of wheelchair users when facing architectural barriers. MEBot uses pneumatic actuators attached to its frame and six wheels to provide curb asce...
Pressure redistributing in-seat movement activities by persons with spinal cord injury over multiple epochs.
PloS one
Feb 13, 2019
Pressure ulcers, by definition, are caused by external forces on the tissues, often in the regions of bony prominences. Wheelchair users are at risk to develop sitting-acquired pressure ulcers, which occur in the regions of the ischial tuberosities, ...
