Abstract:
Advanced devices that can assist the therapists to offer rehabilitation are in high demand with the growing rehabilitation needs. The primary requirement from such rehabilitative devices is to reduce the therapist monitoring time. If the training device can autonomously adapt to the performance of the user, it can make the rehabilitation partly self-manageable. Therefore the main goal of our research is to investigate how to make a rehabilitation system more adaptable. The strategy we followed to augment the adaptability of the GENTLE/A robotic system was to (i) identify the parameters that in

Abstract:
Stroke is the largest cause of severe adult complex disability, caused when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, either by a clot or a burst blood vessel. It is characterised by deficiencies in movement and balance, changes in sensation, impaired motor control and muscle tone, and bone deformity. Clinically applied stroke management relies heavily on the observational opinion of healthcare workers. Despite the proven validity of a few clinical outcome measures, they remain subjective and inconsistent, and suffer from a lack of standardisation. Motion capture of the upper limb has also

This paper presents a novel approach to the design of a motorized rehabilitation device – active elbow orthosis (AEO) – inspired by the principles of robotic exoskeletons. The device is currently designed for the elbow joint, but can be easily modified for other joints as well. AEO determines the motion activity of the patient using a strain gauge and utilizes this measurement to control the actuator that drives the forearm part of the orthosis. Patient activity level is related to a free arm measurement obtained via a calibration procedure prior to the exercise. A high-level control module of

Stroke is a major cause of disability worldwide. For rehabilitation to be effective, it must be early, intensive and repetitive. Stroke rehabilitation starts in hospital, where a structured plan of exercise for the stroke survivor is designed and facilitated by a physiotherapist. Once the patient is discharged, however, supervised therapy sessions can be very infrequent and often people with stroke find it difficult to remain motivated and engaged in rehabilitation programmes when in the home environment.

There are several ways in which a disability can occur. Strokes are a leading cause, affecting older people in particular, with an estimated annual incidence rate of 180, 125, 200, and 280 per 100,000 citizens in the USA, Europe, England, and Scotland, respectively. Muscle strengthening through resistance training has been reported to have a positive effect on the recovery of normal physiological functions after the occurrence of a neurological or traumatic injury. A number of studies have shown that resistance training results in improved mobility, a reduction in pain, and improved stability.

One such indicator is the level of spasticity.

Abstract:
Stroke affects more than 150,000 people every year and is the third major cause of adult disability in the UK. Stroke rehabilitation plays an important part in the motor skills recovery of the stroke patients. This thesis forms part of the development of an upper arm rehabilitation system which involves the use of Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES). Motivation for this use of stimulation to augment remaining voluntary effort in strokepatients is explained and the necessary components comprising the system are described. The task considered in this thesis is reaching, which involves elbow

Abstract:
Chronic physical impairment of the hemiplegic upper limb (UL) is seen in an estimated 50-70% of stroke patients, who place a high priority on regaining upper limb function. Current therapy is insufficiently intensive, often not task-oriented and hence poorly aligned with the evidence base. Functional electrical stimulation (FES) has the potential to not only increase the intensity of task-focused therapy, but also provide certain unique features, notably direct excitation of lower motor neurons. However, current FES systems are limited in their functionality and/or difficult to use. Systems ar

Abstract:
Stroke is the major cause of permanent adult disability worldwide. Often stroke affects the motor control of the upper limb, leading to difficulties in performing activities of daily living. Many hours are spent in resource-intensive therapy to regain functionality of the upper limb. In order to decrease the burden to therapists and increase access to rehabilitation, an upper limb rehabilitation robotic device was developed. Observations from therapists and an international survey of stroke therapists were conducted to understand general requirements of an upper limb rehabilitation device.

Abstract:
Stroke is the primary cause of adult disability. To support this large population in recovery, robotic technologies are being developed to assist in the delivery of rehabilitation. A partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) system was designed for a rehabilitation robotic device that guides stroke patients through an upper-limb reaching task. The performance of the POMDP system was evaluated by comparing the decisions made by the POMDP system with those of a human therapist. Overall, the therapist agreed with the POMDP decisions approximately 65% of the time. The therapist tho
