The purpose of this paper is to present the newly founded European research project MIMICS. The hypothesis of this project is that movement training for neurorehabilitation can be substantially improved through immersive and multimodal sensory feedback. The approach is real-time acquisition of behavioral and physiological data from patients and the use of this to adaptively and dynamically change...
A novel mechatronic body weight support (BWS) system has been developed to provide precise body weight unloading for patients with neurological or other impairments during treadmill training. The system is composed of a passive elastic spring element to take over the main unloading force and an active closed-loop controlled electric drive to generate the exact desired force. Both force generating...
Robot-assisted gait training can increase the duration and number of training sessions, whilst reducing the number of therapists required per patient. However, robotic training without therapists lacks feedback required for patient assessment. In this paper, we present results from the literature and our research in order to provide an overview of novel human-centered strategies that enable the robot...
Task-oriented repetitive movements can improve motor recovery in patients with neurological or orthopaedic lesions. The application of robotics can serve to assist, enhance, evaluate, and document neurological and orthopaedic rehabilitation. ARMin is a new robot for arm therapy applicable to the training of activities of daily living in clinics. ARMin has a semiexoskeletal structure with six degrees...
Task-oriented repetitive movements can improve muscular strength and movement coordination in patients with impairments due to neurological or orthopedic lesions. The application of robotics and automation technology can serve to assist, enhance, evaluate, and document neurological and orthopedic rehabilitation of the lower and upper extremities. This review presentation will give an overview of patient-cooperative...
Neurological diseases - such as spinal cord injury, stroke and traumatic brain injury - frequently result in gait impairment The recovery of the walking ability requires functional training (i.e. walking), as previous research in man and animal has shown. Because the patient usually has reduced voluntary muscle force early after the incident, his/her movements require external support by physical...
