Rehabilitation is the process of treating post-stroke consequences. Impaired limbs are
considered the common outcomes of stroke, which require a professional therapist to …

In this paper we describe the novel concept of performance-based progressive robot therapy
that uses speed, time, or EMG thresholds to initiate robot assistance. We pioneered the …

This paper proposes a human-assisting manipulator teleoperated by electromyographic
(EMG) signals and arm motions. The proposed method can realize a new master-slave …

We have been develo** robotic exoskeletons to assist motion of physically weak persons
such as elderly, disabled, and injured persons. The robotic exoskeleton is controlled …

Research on lower limb exoskeleton (LLE) for rehabilitation have developed rapidly to meet
the need of the population with neurologic injuries. LLEs for rehabilitation include …

Despite high classification accuracies (~ 95%) of myoelectric control systems based on
pattern recognition, it is unclear how well offline measures translate to real-time closed-loop …

In this study, we propose a multiuser myoelectric interface that can easily adapt to novel
users. When a user performs different motions (eg, gras** and pinching), different …

Brain computer interface (BCI) technology has been proposed for motor neurorehabilitation,
motor replacement and assistive technologies. It is an open question whether proprioceptive …

We develop exoskeletal robots to assist the motion of physically weak persons such as
elderly persons or handicapped persons. In our previous research (2001), a prototype of a …

In order to assist physically disabled, injured, and/or elderly persons, we have been
develo** exoskeleton robots for assisting upper-limb motion, since upper-limb motion is …
