One of the most important elements for the rehabilitation process regards to the correct evaluation of the biomechanical and the electrophysiological responses. This evaluation must be done during the therapy. In general, the improvements achieved by the treatment are slightly and difficult to be distinguished. This is a difficult task when the changes in the signals obtained by the bio-amplifiers...
A methodology for studying the effect of vibrations generated by a haptic interface on upper limb is introduced. In the proposed methodology, a subject presses on a horizontally vibrating, rigid, virtual object with a cheap off-the-shelf (COTS) haptic device. When the subject feels vibrations of fixed amplitude and varying frequencies the electromyographic (EMG) activity of upper limb is recorded...
A summary of the design and functionality of a robotic workstation that has been constructed for use by stroke patients in order to improve voluntary control of their impaired arm is first given in this paper. The patient's task will be to track an elliptical trajectory using voluntary control with the addition of surface FES applied to muscles in their shoulder and arm. This work then comprises results...
Japanese society is aging rapidly. Muscle exercises for the elderly, has been proposed to reduce their dependence on nursing care. Specifically, rehabilitation exercise appears to be a suitable program, by considering the individual's present muscular power and the limitations of the human body. In order to prepare and modify the exercise program to match the changes of the patient's condition, it...
