Myoelectric digit action decoding with multi-output, multi-class classification: an offline analysis.

Scientific reports
The ultimate goal of machine learning-based myoelectric control is simultaneous and independent control of multiple degrees of freedom (DOFs), including wrist and digit artificial joints. For prosthetic finger control, regression-based methods are ty...

Characterization and wearability evaluation of a fully portable wrist exoskeleton for unsupervised training after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Chronic hand and wrist impairment are frequently present following stroke and severely limit independence in everyday life. The wrist orientates and stabilizes the hand before and during grasping, and is therefore of critical importance i...

A Gesture-Controlled Rehabilitation Robot to Improve Engagement and Quantify Movement Performance.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Rehabilitation requires repetitive and coordinated movements for effective treatment, which are contingent on patient compliance and motivation. However, the monotony, intensity, and expense of most therapy routines do not promote engagement. Gesture...

Characterizing forearm muscle activity in young adults during dynamic wrist flexion-extension movement using a wrist robot.

Journal of biomechanics
Current research suggests that the wrist extensor muscles function as the primary stabilizers of the wrist-joint complex. However, most investigations have utilized isometric study designs, with little consideration for wrist dynamics or changes in p...

Characterizing forearm muscle activity in university-aged males during dynamic radial-ulnar deviation of the wrist using a wrist robot.

Journal of biomechanics
Functioning as wrist stabilizers, the wrist extensor muscles exhibit higher levels of muscle activity than the flexors in most distal upper-limb tasks. However, this finding has been derived mostly from isometric or wrist flexion-extension protocols,...

Design of a tether-driven minimally invasive robotic surgical tool with decoupled degree-of-freedom wrist.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: Dexterous surgical tool wrists used in tele-operated robotic surgery typically have mechanically coupled pitch and yaw degree of freedom (DoF). This leads to complex control requirements.

Twin Robotic X-Ray System for 3D Cone-Beam CT of the Wrist: An Evaluation of Image Quality and Radiation Dose.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
The purpose of this study was to assess image quality and radiation dose of a novel twin robotic x-ray system's 3D cone-beam CT (CBCT) function for the depiction of cadaveric wrists. Sixteen cadaveric wrists were scanned using dedicated low-dose an...

Interactive Compliance Control of a Wrist Rehabilitation Device (WRD) with Enhanced Training Safety.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Interaction control plays an important role in rehabilitation devices to ensure training safety and efficacy. Compliance adaptation of interaction is vital for enabling robot movements to better suit the patient's requirements as human joint characte...

An Orthopaedic Robotic-Assisted Rehabilitation Method of the Forearm in Virtual Reality Physiotherapy.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The use of robotic rehabilitation in orthopaedics has been briefly explored. Despite its possible advantages, the use of computer-assisted physiotherapy of patients with musculoskeletal injuries has received little attention. In this paper, we detail...

Assessing Wrist Movement With Robotic Devices.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Robotic devices have been proposed to meet the rising need for high intensity, long duration, and goal-oriented therapy required to regain motor function after neurological injury. Complementing this application, exoskeletons can augment traditional ...
