The scientific researches in the field of rehabilitation engineering are increasingly providing mechanisms in order to help people with disability to perform simple tasks of day-to-day. Several studies have been carried out highlighting the advantages of using muscle signal in order to control rehabilitation devices, such as experimental prostheses. This paper presents a study investigating the use...
Robotic-assisted therapy is of benefit to the recovery of upper limb motor function for the patients survived stoke. Whereas, there are few emphases on the patients' motion intention during the rehabilitation process. The goal of this study is to combine the control strategies based on patients' motion intention with an upper limb rehabilitation robot to improve the recovery for the patients. In this...
This work presents a novel wearable exoskeleton capable of moving the human wrist for rehabilitation or assistive purposes. The purpose of the device is to grant autonomy to individuals suffering from medical conditions such as frailty, spinal cord injury (SCI), stroke or other motor diseases. The device can be operated in two modes. The rehabilitation mode of the device moves the hand in a predefined...
Presented in this work is a possible myoelectric control scheme for a rehabilitation robotic application. The control input is from a time delayed neural network (TDNN). The input to the TDNN is four electromyographic (EMG) signals associated with the movement of the elbow and shoulder joints. The output of the TDNN is the joint position of the elbow and the joint position of the shoulder in the sagittal...
A generative model for the surface EMG is presented. The model is built on the assumption that motor units in synergistic muscle share neural drives from spinal level, which correspond to the activation of different degrees of freedom (DOF) of natural movements, and are embedded within surface EMG. An artificial neural network (ANN) is developed to extract these drives simultaneously from the multi-channel...
