While there is an extensive number of studies on the development and evaluation of
electromyography (EMG)-and force-based control interfaces for assistive devices, no studies …

Post-stroke motor recovery highly relies on voluntarily participating in active rehabilitation as
early as possible for promoting the reorganization of the patient's brain. In this paper, a new …

Abstract Background Adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) can benefit from
devices that actively support their arm function. A critical component of such devices is the …

Background Robotic arm supports aim at improving the quality of life for adults with
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) by augmenting their residual functional abilities. A …

Surface electromyography (sEMG) is used to determine muscle activity by picking up the
associated bio-potentials using skin-mounted electrodes. In this paper, we study how the …

Adults with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), due to their severe muscular weakness,
cannot benefit from passive arm supports that only compensate for the weight of their arms …

Adults with DMD can benefit from active arm supports that augment their residual functional
capabilities. However, intuitively controlled and fully actuated arm supports are currently not …

Post-stroke motor recovery highly afected by patients' active participation in rehabilitation.
Surface electromyography (EMG) signals are related to a subject's intention. It is also one of …

Robotic rehabilitation for individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) has been shown to be most
effective when the user is motivated and mentally engaged in the execution of therapeutic …
