Background Integration of kinesthetic and tactile cues for application to post-stroke gait rehabilitation is a novel concept which needs to be explored. The combined provision of haptic cues may result in collective improvement of gait parameters such as symmetry, balance and muscle activation patterns. Our proposed integrated cue system can offer a cost-effective and voluntary gait training experience...
This paper evaluates the prospects of using a novel Integrated Haptic Feedback (IHF) system. IHF can provide over-ground gait training regimens for post-stroke ambulatory subjects. IHF system combines the use of a portable cane for kinesthetic feedback and a wearable vibrotactor array for tactile feedback. Continuous somatosensory input is aiforded to the users at the handle of cane; it serves the...
Among most existing gait rehabilitation robots, it is difficult to find adequate devices for gait rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients who can already stand and move but still need to rehabilitate the affected lower limb through simple, compact, and easy-to use devices. This paper presents a novel haptic based gait rehabilitation system (HGRS) which has the potential to provide over-ground gait...
In recent years, extensive research and development have been carried out for devices and software that interact with the virtual reality environment. Omni-directional treadmill (ODT) lies among such devices; it simulates a human locomotion such as walking and running. It provides a two-dimensional locomotion interface function for interacting an avatar in the virtual environment and the user in the...
Industrial manipulators performs various tasks in an environment where operator has to monitor closely and also interact upon a detailed level with the robot. The operation of the robot from a remote area is possible through some wireless communication, but a two way communication for feedback is most desirable. The proposed smart phone based teaching pendant provides a user friendly interactive control...
Conventional teaching pendent is widely utilized to define the task manipulation of industrial robot. But for efficient teaching task, we need to make the novel intuition teaching method and user friendly interface to realize end effector's position and orientation easier. In addition to enhance time efficiency of teaching task, tele-operation function and mobility are also needed. In this regard,...
Mobile stations (MSs) operate in either idle mode or connected mode. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the connected mode even though the MSs remain their most of time in the idle mode. In this paper, we propose an efficient cell reselection algorithm, namely TSA (time series adaptation), to decide the best cell in UMTS (universal mobile telecommunication systems). The proposed algorithm...
