In this study an interactive exercise technique is developed to cater to bedridden and wheelchair bound individuals, in order for them to remain both mentally and physically alert despite their immobility. The sedentary lifestyle common among bedridden and wheelchair bound individuals leads to a variety of problems such as stiff muscles and numbness in various parts of the body. To perform this light...
The effect of using robots to improve motor recovery has received increased attention, while the treatment effectiveness remains a topic of study. We compared the training effects by treatments on the wrist joint of chronic stroke patients with an electromyography (EMG)-driven robot (interactive group, n = 15) and a robot with continuous passive motion (passive group, n = 12) by a randomized controlled...
In this paper, a methodology for gait rehabilitation, combines over-ground walking, body weight support, pelvic control, and gait assistance are introduced and the integrated platform has been developed. This paper also discusses the gap of state-of-the-art research in gait rehabilitation. Systems like Lokomat and Kineassist were studied and discussed. Initial testing and EMG experiments have been...
For elderly and or physically disabled people who have lost their body functioning of motions due to geriatric disorders, and/or disease processes including trauma, sports injuries, spinal cord injuries, occupational injuries, and strokes, we have been developing a 3 DOF mobile robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation and for assisting motion of elbow and shoulder, since human shoulder and elbow motions...
