▪ Abstract Robotic devices are helping shed light on human motor control in health and
injury. By using robots to apply novel force fields to the arm, investigators are gaining insight …

Soft robots are considered intrinsically safe with regard to human–robot interaction. This has
motivated the development and investigation of soft medical robots, such as soft robotic …

Background A prevailing paradigm of physical rehabilitation following neurologic injury is to"
assist-as-needed" in completing desired movements. Several research groups are …

Popular culture presents the image of a robot as a mechanical, humanoid device, often evil
in intent. Those with a slightly more informed technical knowledge would point to the …

This paper presents the Gentle/G integrated system for reach & grasp therapy retraining
following brain injury. The design, control and integration of an experimental grasp …

This study introduces the concept design and analysis of a robotic system for the assistance
and rehabilitation of disabled people. Based on the statistical data of the most common …

Smooth trajectories are essential for safe interaction in between human and a haptic
interface. Different methods and strategies have been introduced to create such smooth …

Loss of hand function as a result of upper limb paresis after a stroke leads to a loss of
independence and the strength of the paretic upper limb is strongly related to measures of …

Attention and motivation are two factors, which are important for motor relearning following
stroke. In this paper we introduce and present the novel concepts for the use of haptics …

Stroke is a leading cause of disability and in particular effects older people. Although the
causes of stroke are well known and it is possible to reduce these risks, there is a need to …
