Cleverarm: A Novel Exoskeleton For Rehabilitation Of Upper Limb Impairments
نویسندگان
چکیده
CLEVERarm (Compact, Low-weight, Ergonomic, Virtual/Augmented Reality Enhanced Rehabilitation arm) is a novel exoskeleton with eight degrees of freedom supporting the motion of shoulder girdle, glenohumeral joint, elbow and wrist. Of the exoskeleton’s eight degrees of freedom, six are active and the two degrees of freedom supporting the motion of wrist are passive. This paper briefly outlines the design of CLEVERarm and its control architectures.

Challenges and Opportunities in Exoskeleton-based Rehabilitation
Robotic systems are increasingly used in rehabilitation to provide high intensity training for patients with motor impairment. The results of controlled trials involving human subjects confirm the effectiveness of robotenhanced methods and prove them to be marginally superior over standard manual therapy in some cases. Although very promising, this line of research is still in its infancy and f...
متن کاملBiomechanical study of upper-limb exoskeleton for resistance training with three-dimensional motion analysis system.
The world's population is aging rapidly, particularly in developed countries. The trend toward prolonged life expectancy will increase the elderly population and thereby lead to an increase in occurrences of age-related health problems such as chronic disease. Healthcare services and home-based rehabilitation are in high demand, and the demand for professional physical therapy is imposing an in...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Cable Driven Upper Limb Exoskeleton for Arm Rehabilitation
this paper describes the design and kinematic analysis of a 5 DOF upper limb powered robotic exoskeleton for rehabilitation of the patients who survived stroke and the elderly who do not have enough strength to move their limbs freely. It was observed that the existing upper extremity exoskeletons were bulky and heavy which made them limited to applications and the complexity of the system incr...
متن کاملUpper Limb Posture Estimation in Robotic and Virtual Reality-Based Rehabilitation
New motor rehabilitation therapies include virtual reality (VR) and robotic technologies. In limb rehabilitation, limb posture is required to (1) provide a limb realistic representation in VR games and (2) assess the patient improvement. When exoskeleton devices are used in the therapy, the measurements of their joint angles cannot be directly used to represent the posture of the patient limb, ...
متن کاملDesign 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...
