Smart home technologies help post-stroke patients complete activities of daily living (ADL)
independently, while saving their time, money, and extra effort. The patients are otherwise …

Augmented Reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world
environment whose elements are overlaid by virtual, computer generated objects. In this …

Human arm mechanical impedance plays a vital role in describing motion ability of the
upper limb. One of the impedance parameters is stiffness which is defined as the ratio of an …

A novel device, which looks like a mug, has been proposed for measuring the impedance of
human hand. The device is designed to have convenient size and light weight similar to an …

Mechanical impedance is a complex number and a system's property. Impedance of human
arm is the control variable when the central nervous system coordinates a motion. This …

Mechanical impedance is an important factor that the central nervous system takes into
account while coordinating a motion. This research work thus aims to develop a new …

This paper proposes the design and use of a portable device for measuring the impedance
of human arm during reaching motion. While the device looks and weighs like an ordinary …

For the past decade, researchers have developed rehabilitation robot based-therapy for post-
stroke patients which goal is to complement the traditional manual therapy. However, they …

Objective: Quantifying muscle tone is often based on a tester's subjective judgment in
clinical settings. There is, however, a lack of suitable tools that can be used to objectively …

This paper reports an interesting phenomenon of observable muscle co-contraction in
stationary limbs according to the movement pattern in an oscillating limb. In the experiments …
