Synergistic prostheses enable the coordinated movement of the human-prosthetic arm, as required by activities of daily living. This is achieved by coupling the motion of the prosthesis to the human command, such as the residual limb…
Biofeedback is commonly used to regulate one's state, for example to manage stress. The underlying idea is that by perceiving a feedback about their physiological activity, a user can act upon it. In this paper we describe through two…
The most popular type of devices used to track a user's posture in a virtual reality experience consists of a head-mounted display and two controllers held in both hands. However, due to the limited number of tracking sensors (three in…
Early defibrillation significantly improves survival rates in cases of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. However, limited public awareness of Automated External Defibrillator (AED) locations constrains their effective use. Existing solutions,…
The level of challenge in stroke rehabilitation has to be carefully chosen to keep the patient engaged and motivated while not frustrating them. This paper presents a simulation where this level of challenge is automatically optimized using…
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the use of robotic technology at home. A number of service robots appeared on the market, supporting customers in the execution of everyday tasks. Roughly at the same time, consumer…
Chronic neck pain is a prevalent condition that affects millions of individuals worldwide, causing significant individual suffering and socioeconomic burdens. Although exercise rehabilitation is a staple in relieving pain and improving…
Background: Gravity confounds arm movement ability in post-stroke hemiparesis. Reducing its influence allows effective practice leading to recovery. Yet, there is a scarcity of wearable devices suitable for personalized use across diverse…
While there have been significant strides in dexterous manipulation, most of it is limited to benchmark tasks like in-hand reorientation which are of limited utility in the real world. The main benefit of dexterous hands over two-fingered…
With the rapid development of Rehabilitation Lower Extremity Robotic Exoskeletons (RLEEX) technology, significant advancements have been made in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) methods. These include traditional physical HRI methods that are…
Rehabilitation robots are often used in game-like interactions for rehabilitation to increase a person's motivation to complete rehabilitation exercises. By adjusting exercise difficulty for a specific user throughout the exercise…
Despite of the established evidence in favor of exergames for physical rehabilitation their use is limited in Pakistan. In our user study with game developers (N=62), majority (67.7%) of the participants believed that exergames' popularity…
Chronic disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not cured. Owing to the portability and continuous action, wearable devices are regarded as promising ways for management and rehabilitation of patients with chronic…
Strength training is a key determinant of healthy aging, yet adherence to formal exercise programs among older adults remains low. While many technologies aim to encourage physical activity in older adults, they typically rely on dedicated…
The introduction of a teleoperated surgical robotic system designed for minimally invasive procedures enables the emulation of two distinct control modes through a dedicated input device of the surgical console: (1) Inside Control Mode,…
The use of wearable robots has been widely adopted in rehabilitation training for patients with hand motor impairments. However, the uniqueness of patients' muscle loss is often overlooked. Leveraging reinforcement learning and a…
At-home rehabilitation for post-stroke patients presents significant challenges, as continuous, personalized care is often limited outside clinical settings. Moreover, the lack of integrated solutions capable of simultaneously monitoring…
Most current hand exoskeletons have been designed specifically for rehabilitation, assistive or haptic applications to simplify the design requirements. Clinical studies on post-stroke rehabilitation have shown that adapting assistive or…
Automated assessment of human motion plays a vital role in rehabilitation, enabling objective evaluation of patient performance and progress. Unlike general human activity recognition, rehabilitation motion assessment focuses on analyzing…
Physical activity plays a major role both in prevention and in the treatment of afflictions linked to a modern sedentary lifestyle and improvements on life expectancy, for example though the application area of physiotherapy. Motion-based…
