This paper proposes the design of a rehabilitation robot for upper limb based on physiological electrical signals. The system uses surface electromyography (sEMG) and electroencephalography (EEG) signals to control robot's movements. has modular structure consisting mechanical hand, system, data acquisition system. STM32 microcontroller Bluetooth module real-time transmission control. collects ...

WINTER 2015 23 As robotics moved from industrial to service applications, engineers began looking for new tasks that could be automated with robots. Industrial tasks had been a perfect candidate for automation since they are physically exhausting and require high precision. Motor rehabilitation seemed like a similarly appropriate robotics application. In the course of rehabilitation, the patien...

The purpose of this research is to emphasize on the concept of integrating computer and interactive technologies to the rehabilitation robotic with biofeedback. First, the robot is actuated with pneumatic muscle actuator which have interesting characteristics that can be exploited for upper limbed machines. The rehabilitation robotic system is using measurement which has two channels to detect ...

BACKGROUND Stroke is becoming more common in Germany as the population ages. Its long-term sequelae can be alleviated by early reperfusion in stroke units and by complication management and functional restoration in early-rehabilitation and rehabilitation centers. METHODS Selective review of the literature. RESULTS Successful rehabilitation depends on systematic treatment by an interdiscipl...

In this paper a control system of a gait rehabilitation training robot based on Brain‐Computer Interface (BCI) and virtual reality technology is proposed, which makes the patients’ rehabilitation training process more interesting. A technique for measuring the mental states of the human and associated applications based on normal brain signals are examined and evaluated firs...

The main goal of NAOTherapist is to provide a social robot with enough autonomy to carry out a non-contact upper-limb rehabilitation therapy for patients with physical impairments, such as cerebral palsy and obstetric brachial plexus palsy. Our robotic system is focused on pediatric patients aiming to increase their motivation and engagement with the treatment. The robot shows a set of prescrib...

The goal of this review was to discuss the impairments in hand function after stroke and present previous work on robot-assisted approaches to movement neurorehabilitation. Robotic devices offer a unique training environment that may enhance outcomes beyond what is possible with conventional means. Robots apply forces to the hand, allowing completion of movements while preventing inappropriate ...

This paper presents the design, control and performance of a high fidelity four degree-of-freedom wrist exoskeleton robot, RiceWrist, for training and rehabilitation. The RiceWrist is intended to provide kinesthetic feedback during the training of motor skills or rehabilitation of reaching movements. Motivation for such applications is based on findings that show robot-assisted physical therapy...

The robotic rehabilitation devices can undertake the difficult physical therapy tasks and provide improved treatment procedures for post stroke patients. During passive working mode, the speed of the exercise needs to be controlled continuously by the robot to avoid excessive injurious torques. We designed a fuzzy controller for a hand rehabilitation robot to adjust the exercise speed by consid...
