It is a general assumption that pneumatic muscle-type actuators will play an important role in
the development of an assistive rehabilitation robotics system. In the last decade, the …

Critically ill patients that stay in Intensive Care Units (ICU) for long periods suffer from Post-
Intensive Care Syndrome or ICU Acquired Weakness, whose effects can decrease patients' …

Abstract The Harmonic Ratio (HR) is an index based on the spectral analysis of lower trunk
accelerations that is commonly used to assess the quality of gait. However, it presents …

In human movement analysis, 3D body segment orientation can be obtained through the
numerical integration of gyroscope signals. These signals, however, are affected by errors …

Objective. The aim of this study is to propose a recognition system of pedaling motor
imagery for lower-limb rehabilitation, which uses unsupervised methods to improve the …

This paper proposes a vertical planar 2PRP-2PPR parallel manipulator along with a serial
planar RRR passive orthosis (exoskeleton/supporting system) for performing sitting/lying …

This paper presents the concept, design process, and the prototype of a novel haptics-based
lower-extremity rehabilitation robot for bed-ridden stroke patients. This system, named …

The self-aligning capability of an exoskeleton is important to ensure wearing comfort, and
the delicate motion ability of the exoskeleton is essential for motion assistance. Designing a …

Biofeedback from physical rehabilitation exercises has proved to lead to faster recovery,
better outcomes, and increased patient motivation. In addition, it allows the physical …

Rehabilitation for stroke survivors with severe motor impairment remains challenging. Early
motor rehabilitation is critical for improving mobility function post stroke, but it is often …
