As far as acquiring motor skills is concerned, training by voluntary physical movement is superior to all other forms of training (e.g. training by observation or passive movement of trainee's hands by a robotic device). This obviously presents a major challenge in the rehabilitation of a paretic limb since voluntary control of physical movement is limited. Here, we describe a novel training sc...

Inertial-sensor-based hand motion tracking has become a well-accepted method in many clinical applications, including rehabilitation of the upper extremity. However, major drawbacks are that sensor on each segment and kinematic chain rule is required. Thus, errors accumulate through rule. Also, length needs to be measured for user. We propose novel which permanent magnet dorsal side combined wi...

We propose HandCam (Fig. 1), a novel wearable camera capturing activities of hands, for recognizing human behaviors. HandCam has two main advantages over egocentric systems [10, 5, 23]: (1) it avoids the need to detect hands and manipulation regions; (2) it observes the activities of hands almost at all time. These nice properties enable HandCam to recognize hand states (free v.s. active hands,...
