Introduction Occupational rehabilitation often involves functional capacity evaluations (FCE)
that use simulated work tasks to assess work ability. Currently, there exists no single …

Human motor behavior is highly goal directed, requiring the central nervous system to
coordinate different aspects of motion generation to achieve the motion goals. The concept …

Trunk rehabilitation exercises such as those for remediating core stability can help improve
the seated balance of patients with weakness or loss of proprioception caused by diseases …

This paper uses physiological measurements to estimate human workload and effort in
physical human–robot interaction. Ten subjects performed 19 consecutive task periods …

The notion of an optimal difficulty during practice has been articulated in many areas of
cognitive psychology: flow theory, the challenge point framework, and desirable difficulties …

The assist-as-needed (AAN) controller is effective in robot-assisted rehabilitation. However,
variations of the engagement of subjects with fixed controller often lead to unsatisfying …

Assist-as-needed (AAN) control strategy is applied in robot-aided therapy to promote the
subject's engagement with minimal assistance. Current methods are based on physical …

Disabling events such as stroke affect millions of people worldwide, causing a need for
efficient and functional rehabilitation therapies in order for patients to regain motor function …

The healthcare sector is increasingly becoming dependent on medical devices and
