Single limb cable driven wearable robotic device for upper extremity movement support after traumatic brain injury

Journal of Rehabilitation and Assistive Technologies Engineering, 2021
Introduction Recently, soft exosuits have been proposed for upper limb movement assistance, most supporting single joint movements. We describe the design of a portable wearable robotic device (WRD), “Armstrong,” able to support three degrees-of-freedom ...

A BCI System Based on Motor Imagery for Assisting People with Motor Deficiencies in the Limbs

Brain Sciences, 2020
Motor deficiencies constitute a significant problem affecting millions of people worldwide. Such people suffer from a debility in daily functioning, which may lead to decreased and incoherence in daily routines and deteriorate their quality of life (QoL).

Robot-assisted training using hybrid assistive limb ameliorates gait ability in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2022
The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL; CYBERDYNE, Inc., Japan) is a wearable robot device that provides effective gait assistance according to voluntary intention by detecting weak bioelectrical signals of neuromuscular activity on the surface of the skin. We used HAL for patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) to determine whether HAL training had ...

Autonomy Infused Teleoperation with Application to BCI Manipulation [PDF]

, 2015
Robot teleoperation systems face a common set of challenges including latency, low-dimensional user commands, and asymmetric control inputs. User control with Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) exacerbates these problems through especially noisy and ...

Voluntary Ambulation by Upper Limb-Triggered HAL® in Patients with Complete Quadri/Paraplegia Due to Chronic Spinal Cord Injury [PDF]

, 2017
Patients with complete paraplegia after spinal cord injury (SCI) are unable to stand or walk on their own. Standing exercise decreases the risk of decubitus ulcers, osteoporosis, and joint deformities in patients with SCI.
