Towards quantifying dynamic human-human physical interactions for robot assisted stroke therapy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Human-Robot Interaction is a prominent field of robotics today. Knowledge of human-human physical interaction can prove vital in creating dynamic physical interactions between human and robots. Most of the current work in studying this interaction ha...

Soft brain-machine interfaces for assistive robotics: A novel control approach.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic systems offer the possibility of improving the life quality of people with severe motor disabilities, enhancing the individual's degree of independence and interaction with the external environment. In this direction, the operator's residual ...

Probabilistic vs linear blending approaches to shared control for wheelchair driving.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Some people with severe mobility impairments are unable to operate powered wheelchairs reliably and effectively, using commercially available interfaces. This has sparked a body of research into "smart wheelchairs", which assist users to drive safely...

VIBROfocus: Design of a focal vibro-tactile robotic-assistive system for spasticity rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The main focus of spasticity treatment is to alleviate pain, improve function and reduce risk of additional complications. In this paper the design of a robotic system with enhanced focal vibro-tactile stimulation for the treatment of spasticity in t...

Transverse forces versus modified ashworth scale for upper limb flexion/extension in para-sagittal plane.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Spasticity is a common impairment following an upper motor neuron lesion in conditions such as stroke and brain injury. A clinical issue is how to best quantify and measure spasticity. Recently, research has been performed to develop new methods of s...

Let's do this together: Bi-Manu-Interact, a novel device for studying human haptic interactive behavior.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Our area of interest is robotic-based rehabilitation after stroke, and our goal is to help patients achieve optimal motor learning during high-intensity repetitive movement training through the assistance of robots. It is important, that the robotic ...

The effects of auditory and visual cues on timing synchronicity for robotic rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we explore how the integration of auditory and visual cues can help teach the timing of motor skills for the purpose of motor function rehabilitation. We conducted a study using Amazon's Mechanical Turk in which 106 participants played...

Effect of human-robot interaction on muscular synergies on healthy people and post-stroke chronic patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted training is a widely used technique to promote motor re-learning on post-stroke patients that suffer from motor impairment. While it is commonly accepted that robot-based therapies are potentially helpful, strong insights about their e...

Kinematic effects of inertia and friction added by a robotic knee exoskeleton after prolonged walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The capabilities of robotic gait assistive devices are ever increasing; however, their adoption outside of the lab is still limited. A critical barrier for the functionality of these devices are the still unknown mechanical properties of the human le...

Automated stand-up and sit-down detection for robot-assisted body-weight support training with the FLOAT.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Patients with impaired walking function are often dependent on assistive devices to retrain gait and regain independence in life. To provide adequate support, gait rehabilitation devices have to be manually set to the correct support mode or have to ...
