Design And Development Of A 7 Dof Robot With Ergonomic Shoulder For Upper Limb Rehabilitation, Md Rasedul Islam
Design And Development Of A 7 Dof Robot With Ergonomic Shoulder For Upper Limb Rehabilitation, Md Rasedul Islam
Theses and Dissertations
With the increase of stroke patients, the number of upper limb dysfunction is increasing day by day. Robotic intervention in upper limb (UL) rehabilitation of post-stroke patients has gained much traction in recent years. Though many research groups have developed exoskeletons, existing exoskeletons have limitations in both hardware design and control approaches. In most cases, rehabilitative robotic devices have not considered the movement of the shoulder joint’s center (center of glenohumeral joint); however, this movement leads to misalignment between human joints and robot joints, which is undesirable in any circumstances. To ensure better human-robot interaction (HRI), allowing mobility of shoulder …
Development And Control Of A 3-Dof Exoskeleton Robot For Forearm And Wrist Rehabilitation, Tanvir Ahmed
Development And Control Of A 3-Dof Exoskeleton Robot For Forearm And Wrist Rehabilitation, Tanvir Ahmed
Theses and Dissertations
The research conducted under this project directly contributes to the development of a forearm and wrist rehabilitation robot (UWM-FWRR). Upper extremity impairment following stroke, trauma, sports injuries, occupational injuries, spinal cord injuries, and orthopaedic injuries results in significant deficits in hand manipulation and the performance of everyday tasks. Strokes affect nearly 800,000 people in the United States each year. Rehabilitation programs are the main method of promoting functional recovery in individuals with finger impairment. The conventional therapeutic approach requiring a long commitment by both the clinician and the patient. Robotic devices (RDs) are novel and rapidly expanding technologies in hand …
