A non-linear iterative learning control approach is developed for application to stroke rehabilitation. The subject is seated in a robotic workstation and electrical stimulation is applied to their triceps muscle to assist the tracking of trajectories in a horizontal plane. In addition to rotation about vertical axes through the shoulder and elbow joints, the forearm is also permitted to elevate in...
An overview is provided of the design, operation and performance of an experimental test facility that has been developed for stroke rehabilitation. The aim of the system is to improve sensory-motor function of the impaired upper limb, and it has recently been used in clinical trials with stroke participants. During treatment subjects were seated at the workstation and their impaired arm strapped...
This paper describes an initial study of non-invasive electroencephalograph (EEG)-based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) application on Stroke patients. The purpose of this study is to combine BCI and robotic arm for after-stroke rehabilitation exercises. A clinically-proven MANUS robotic rehabilitation shell is integrated with the NeuroComm BCI platform, whereby the robotic control mechanism is complemented...
One of the useful features of robotic rehabilitation is the possibility of movement quantification, which is currently lacking in conventional rehabilitation therapy. Movement performance measures calculated from this quantitative information serves various purposes - (a) a good supplement to clinical assessment measures, (b) can be more sensitive than many clinical measures which use ordinal scales...
The biomechanical analysis done in this project is to assist the development of the robot assisted stroke rehabilitation system. Thus, the analysis of the upper limbpsilas motions focus on rehabilitation training for stroke survivor. As the human upper limb system is a natural biomechanical system, which can be modeled as links connected together by different joints with its own biological properties,...
A robot assisted hand stroke rehabilitation system is to be developed as this devastating disease have became one of the main reasons of the severe disabilities in the world. This project focuses on assisting the humanpsilas upper limb rehabilitation. The anatomy of the upper limb was first analyzed. Due to simplifications, the upper limb analysis was divided into two parts; the human arm which will...
This paper presents an intelligent control architecture for robot-assisted rehabilitation after stroke that has the potential to minimize the workload of the therapist and incorporate patient feedback into autonomous modification of the task presentation during therapy. In particular, the presented intelligent controller will be able to administer a therapy task, monitor safety issues, provide assessment...
Rehabilitation robots start to become an important tool in stroke rehabilitation. Compared to manual arm training, robot-supported training can be more intensive, of longer duration, repetitive and task-oriented. Therefore, these devices have the potential to improve the rehabilitation process in stroke patients. While in the past, most groups have been working with endeffector-based robots, exoskeleton...
Virtual environments (VE) have been shown to be a powerful tool for various forms of rehabilitation. Currently, VE has been used in psychological training, motor recovery, visual relearning, and pain reduction during physical therapy. VE's use is also being explored in stroke rehabilitation coupled to robots, posture control in labyrinthine deficit patients, tele-rehabilitation and in other areas...
