The lack of sensory feedback in lower-limb amputees is the major cause of (i) amputees difficulty to keep balance, (ii) suboptimal performance in gait functions and (iii) increased energy consumption. This also hugely affects their participation in the activities of daily living. Improving postural control functions in people with lower-limb amputation has the aim to enhance their quality of life...
This letter presents a motion planning system for robotic devices to be adopted in assistive or rehabilitation scenarios. The proposed system is grounded on a learning by demonstration approach based on dynamic movement primitives (DMP) and presents a high level of generalization allowing the user to perform activities of daily living. The proposed approach has been experimentally validated on a robotic...
The commercially available myoelectric control strategies with surface electrodes used to drive upper limb prostheses, e.g. conventional amplitude-based control, do not allow the control of simultaneous movements in multi-Dof devices, i.e. the prostheses for trans-humeral amputees or with shoulder disarticulation. Pattern recognition applied to ElectroMyoGraphic (EMG) signals represents a valid solution...
