The recovery of hand function is one of the most challenging topics in stroke rehabilitation.
Although the robot‐assisted therapy has got some good results in the latest decades, the …

Hybrid exoskeletons, which combine electrically controlled actuation with functional
electrical stimulation, potentially offer great benefits for muscular rehabilitation. This review …

The number of patients with motor dysfunction has increased rapidly over the past decade,
in part due to the overall aging of society and the prevalence of neuromuscular disorders. To …

We have developed a new approach to assist prehension by combining functional electrical
stimulation (FES) and a motorized orthosis: ORTHYB. The aim was to induce movements of …

Rehabilitation of paralysis caused by a stroke or a spinal cord injury remains a complex and
time-consuming task. This work proposes a hybrid exoskeleton approach combining a …

This paper introduces a novel hybrid torque allocation method for improving wearability and
mobility in integrated functional electrical stimulation (FES) of the quadriceps muscles and …

One of the main causes of disabling deficits is neurological affections. Many times, the
evolution of the condition leads to a diminution of the patient's life quality. Functional …

Background Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. Assist-as-need
control is desirable as it can optimise the rehabilitation and potentially greatly improve the …

This paper proposes the use of a particle filter to estimate the torque produced by the biceps
based on the recorded electromyography (EMG). The aim was to estimate a person's …

Stroke can lead to upper limb impairments. However, due to the brain's neuroplasticity, the
upper limb's motor skills may be recovered through hybrid robotic rehabilitation systems …
