Initial Testing of Robotic Exoskeleton Hand Device for Stroke Rehabilitation

open access: yesSensors, 2023
The preliminary test results of a novel robotic hand rehabilitation device aimed at treatment for the loss of motor abilities in the fingers and thumb due to stroke are presented. This device has been developed in collaboration with physiotherapists who regularly treat individuals who have suffered from a stroke. The device was tested on healthy adults

Usability and performance validation of an ultra-lightweight and versatile untethered robotic ankle exoskeleton

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Ankle exoskeletons can improve walking mechanics and energetics, but few untethered devices have demonstrated improved performance and usability across a wide range of users and terrains.

Design of Thumb Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Device

open access: yesInternational Journal of Engineering & Technology, 2018
Thumb nerve injury is a common injury that will affect the movement of the thumb. Exoskeleton for hand rehabilitation typically focus on finger flexion extension and do not support thumb finger opposition, a crucial function for object grasping. This paper presents the mechanical design, implementation, preliminary evaluation and proof of concept of a ...

c^2AIDER: cognitive cloud exoskeleton system and its applications

open access: yesCognitive Computation and Systems, 2019
Lower extremity exoskeleton systems have been widely applied in walking assistance, rehabilitation, and augmentation-related applications merely through human-exoskeleton movement collaboration, which cannot analyse cognitive load and pressure of pilots.

Gear-based Multimodal Underdriven Index Finger Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Device

open access: yesHighlights in Science, Engineering and Technology, 2023
With the increase of stroke patients, wearable hand rehabilitation exoskeleton devices used to do mechanical rehabilitation training have received attention from researchers. Most of the rigid hand exoskeletons can only perform simple flexion and extension training of the finger as a whole, and not single joint training.

A tracking device for a wearable high-DOF passive hand exoskeleton [PDF]

open access: yes2021 43rd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine & Biology Society (EMBC), 2021
In previous work, we developed an exoskeleton (HandSOME II) that allows movement at 15 hand degrees of freedom (DOF) and is intended for take-home use. An activity tracking device was developed in order to track index finger movement with a pair of magnetometers and magnet. The goal was to detect grip attempts by the individual.

The Kickstart Walk Assist System for improving balance and walking function in stroke survivors: a feasibility study

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background Compared with traditional physical therapy for stroke patients, lower extremity exoskeletons can provide patients with greater endurance and more repeatable and controllable training, which can reduce the therapeutic burden of the therapist ...

The Effects of Exoskeleton Assistance at the Ankle on Sensory Integration During Standing Balance

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering, 2023
Exoskeleton devices can reduce metabolic cost, increase walking speed, and augment load-carrying capacity. However, little is known about the effects of powered assistance on the sensory information required to achieve these tasks. To learn how to use an

A Biomechanical Comparison of Proportional Electromyography Control to Biological Torque Control Using a Powered Hip Exoskeleton

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2017
BackgroundDespite a large increase in robotic exoskeleton research, there are few studies that have examined human performance with different control strategies on the same exoskeleton device.

A Differentiable Dynamic Model for Musculoskeletal Simulation and Exoskeleton Control

open access: yesBiosensors, 2022
An exoskeleton, a wearable device, was designed based on the user’s physical and cognitive interactions. The control of the exoskeleton uses biomedical signals reflecting the user intention as input, and its algorithm is calculated as an output to make ...
