Neuromechanical measurement of motor impairments in relation to upper limb activity limitations after stroke

, 2011
Loss of upper-limb function is a problem following stroke. Recent research has led to the emergence of new treatments but progress is hampered by lack of reliable objective measures of impairment, and understanding of the underlying impairment mechanisms

Implementation of an Upper-Limb Exoskeleton Robot Driven by Pneumatic Muscle Actuators for Rehabilitation

Actuators, 2020
Implementation of a prototype of a 4-degree of freedom (4-DOF) upper-limb exoskeleton robot for rehabilitation was described in this paper. The proposed exoskeleton robot has three DOFs at the shoulder joint and one DOF at the elbow joint. The upper-limb

Inverse dynamics modelling of upper limb tremor, with cross-correlation analysis. [PDF]

, 2014
A method to characterise upper-limb tremor using inverse dynamics modelling in combination with cross-correlation analyses is presented. A 15 degree-of-freedom inverse dynamics model is used to estimate the joint torques required to produce the measured ...

Milestone Attainment in Young Children With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita: Developmental Profile and Associated Factors

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Evidence on developmental milestones in children with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) under the age of five is scarce. This multisite cross‐sectional study described developmental status and examined factors associated with milestone attainment in 143 children aged 0–66 months from a pediatric AMC Registry.

Virtual Reality as an upper Limb Rehabilitation Approach

Human Physiology, 2017
The consequences of cerebrovascular diseases significantly reducethe quality of life of patients. Recovery of basic motor skills,such as the ability to reach the object, manipulate it, and coordinatethe movements of two hands is one of the top-prioritytasks in restoring patients living and social activity.

The EXPLAIN Study: Exploring Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita in Adults in Norway — A Description of Demographic, Medical, and Neurological Findings

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) encompasses several hundred conditions with diverse genetic, pathophysiological, and clinical origins. The overarching EXPLAIN study explores underlying causes and implications of AMC and represents the largest clinical cohort of adults with AMC reported to date.

Efficacy of Iterative Learning Control for Stroke Rehabilitation

, 2009
Strokes affect between 174 and 216 people per 100 000 population in the UK each year. Approximately two-thirds of patients in England will survive their stroke; of the 900 000 stroke survivors, 50 per cent are disabled and dependent.

Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita in Pediatric Age: Correlation Between MUScular MRI and Functional Evaluation (AMUSE), Toward a Biomechanical Model

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita (AMC) is a group of diseases with joint limitations at two or more distinct joint levels at birth. Joint limitations are not progressive, but the functional consequences have a lifelong impact on patients. The management of these conditions is therefore demanding, necessarily multidisciplinary, and is a long ...
