In an effort to make activity monitors usable by manual wheelchair users with spinal cord injury (SCI), our study examines the validity of SenseWearreg Armband (SenseWear) and RT3 in assessing energy expenditure (EE) during wheelchair related activities. This paper presents the data obtained from six subjects (n=6) with SCI performing three activities, including wheelchair propulsion, armergometer...
People with athetoid cerebral palsy (CP) have difficulty using computers due to unintentional involuntary movements in the upper extremities. A neural network-based system has been developed to cancel the undesired motion, and speed up the movements and accuracy in target acquisition and path tracking tasks while using an isometric joystick (U). Nonlinear filtering algorithms were created with neural...
