Computer-based systems for stroke rehabilitation can potentially reduce complexity in rehabilitation processes. One of important issues among the rehabilitation systems is how to continuously evaluate patient's performances from such systems. Without a proper measurement for patient's performance, therapists suffer from accurate decision making in patient treatments. Therefore, the main focus of this...
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...
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...
