Design of the robotic exoskeleton for upper-extremity rehabilitation
This paper touches upon the issue of designing of an upper-limb exoskeleton used for rehabilitation. Mainly there are presented the results concerning the mechanical design. The exoskeleton, also known as orthosis, has 12 degrees of freedom (DOF). Among 12 DOF there can be distinguished 7 DOF which are actively controlled during rehabilitation, 3 passive DOF which are responsible for wrist move...
متن کاملGrasp Coordination in Virtual Environments for Robot-aided Upper Extremity Rehabilitation
This paper explores grasping in robot-aided upper extremity rehabilitation, with a special focus on reaching and grasping exercises and the coordination between load force and grasp force. Six healthy subjects and two hemiparetic subjects performed \pick and place"movements with a haptic robot and virtual environment. These movements were segmented into three phases: grasping, transport and rel...
متن کاملRobot aided therapy: challenges ahead for upper limb stroke rehabilitation
People who have been discharged from hospital following a stroke still have a potential to continue their recovery by doing therapy at home. Unfortunately it is difficult to exercise a stroke affected arm correctly and many people simply resort to using their good arm for most activities. This strategy makes many tasks difficult and any tasks requiring two hands become nearly impossible. The us...
متن کاملSystem Characterization of MAHI EXO-II: A Robotic Exoskeleton for Upper Extremity Rehabilitation.
This paper presents the performance characterization of the MAHI Exo-II, an upper extremity exoskeleton for stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation, as a means to validate its clinical implementation and to provide depth to the literature on the performance characteristics of upper extremity exoskeletons. Individuals with disabilities arising from stroke and SCI need rehabilitation o...
متن کاملAdaptive Control of an Upper Extremity Rehabilitation Robot with
Extended Abstract In Canada over 40,000 new stroke cases are reported annually [1], and it costs the Canadian health care system $3.2 billion a year [2]. Thus, new rehabilitation technologies are being investigated. A rehabilitation robot can be used to deliver repetitive practice to the stroke patients, which is the key element for motor recovery [3, 4]. Safety issues regarding humanrobot inte...
