Automating Arm Movement Training Following Severe Stroke: Functional Exercises With Quantitative Feedback in a Gravity-Reduced Environment
R.J. Sanchez,J. Liu,S. Rao,P. Shah,Rachel J. Smith,Tariq Rahman,Steven C. Cramer,James E. Bobrow,David J. Reinkensmeyer +8 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate the feasibility of automating upper-extremity rehabilitation therapy for people with severe stroke using passive gravity assistance, a grip sensor, and simple virtual reality software.
Journal ArticleDOI
The association of backpack use and back pain in adolescents.
TL;DR: The use of backpacks during the school day and backpack weights are independently associated with back pain.
Journal ArticleDOI
A simple technique to passively gravity-balance articulated mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, a simple method to counter the effects of gravity in articulated mechanisms is proposed, which uses kinematics and linear springs to produce a nonlinear restoring force to oppose the gravitational moment.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A pneumatic robot for re-training arm movement after stroke: rationale and mechanical design
R.J. Sanchez,Eric T. Wolbrecht,Rachel J. Smith,J. Liu,S. Rao,Steven C. Cramer,Tariq Rahman,James E. Bobrow,David J. Reinkensmeyer +8 more
TL;DR: A robotic version of WREX named Pneu-WREX is developed, which uses pneumatic actuators, non-linear force control, and passive counter-balancing to allow application of a wide range of forces during naturalistic upper extremity movements.
Journal ArticleDOI
Passive exoskeletons for assisting limb movement.
Tariq Rahman,Whitney Sample,Shanmuga Jayakumar,Marilyn Marnie King,Jin Yong Wee,Rahamim Seliktar,Michael Alexander,Mena Scavina,Alisa Clark +8 more
TL;DR: The state of the art in passive devices for enhancing limb movement in people with neuromuscular disabilities are presented, with special emphasis on a passive functional upper-limb orthosis called the Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (WREX).
