Design of a Hand Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Device

open access: hybridAdvanced Materials Research, 2011
As stroke is one of the most morbidity disease, some rehabilitation devices has been developed to solve the problem, but there isn’t maturation in hand. This paper presents a new hand exoskeleton rehabilitation device to improve the result of rehabilitation and help doctors to perfect theory about hand rehabilitation. We set 8 DOF in this three fingers

Assessing Transparency of Robots, Exoskeletons, and Assistive Devices: A Systematic Review [PDF]

open access: goldSensors
Transparency is a key requirement for some classes of robots, exoskeletons, and assistive devices (READs), where safe and efficient human–robot interaction is crucial. Typical fields that require transparency are rehabilitation and industrial contexts. However, the definitions of transparency adopted in the literature are heterogeneous. It follows that

Task-Dependent Effectiveness of a Quasi-Direct-Drive Upper-Limb Exoskeleton: Shoulder Muscle Offloading Versus Metabolic Cost in Overhead Work [PDF]

open access: yesBioengineering
Work-related shoulder disorders during overhead assembly represent a persistent occupational challenge. We evaluated a quasi-direct-drive (QDD) active upper-limb exoskeleton during simulated overhead work, providing simultaneous metabolic ...
