An externally actuated glove, controlled by a microprocessor, is being developed to assist finger extension in stroke survivors. The goal of this device is to allow repeated practice of specific tasks for hand therapy in a home environment. The user can control the device by three different means: voice recognition, electromyography, or manual control. These inputs can be used either independently...
Conventional gait rehabilitation treatment does not provide quantitative and graphical information on abnormal gait kinematics, and the match of the intervention strategy to the underlying clinical presentation may be limited by clinical expertise and experience. In this paper, a mobile gait monitoring system (MGMS) is proposed, which helps patients self correct their gait without restriction of time...
Continuous passive motion (CPM) and continuous active motion (CAM) physiotherapy devices are commonly used to promote rehabilitation of damaged synovial joints. CAM devices use some form of mechanical resistance to patient muscle activity. This paper presents a combined CAM/CPM device which functions conventionally in the CPM mode, but in the CAM mode uses the motor to exert a constant force against...
