Development Of An Upper Limb Telerehabilitation System, Md Mahafuzur Rahaman Khan Aug 2022

Development Of An Upper Limb Telerehabilitation System, Md Mahafuzur Rahaman Khan

Theses and Dissertations

Upper limb dysfunction (ULD) is common following a stroke, spinal cord injury, trauma, and occupational accidents. Post-stroke patients with ULD need long-term assistance from therapists for their rehabilitation, which generally occurs at the hospital or outpatient clinic. Travel and transportation are significant factors that prevent patients from receiving adequate therapy, often leading to long-term disability. A home-based rehabilitation device providing essential arm movement therapies can significantly ease this rehabilitation program. In this research, we developed an end-effector type Desktop-Mounted Rehabilitation Robot (DMRbot) with a minimum viable design to cover the full range of human upper limb (UL) workspace to provide …


Development Of A Novel Telemanipulation Framework For Human-Robot Collaboration Using Ptc Thingworx And Vuforia Studio, Preet Parag Modi May 2022

Development Of A Novel Telemanipulation Framework For Human-Robot Collaboration Using Ptc Thingworx And Vuforia Studio, Preet Parag Modi

Theses and Dissertations

Significant advancements in contemporary telehealth care applications are enforcing the demand for effective and intuitive telerehabilitation tools. The current techniques for observing live process parameters of robots frequently require complex and inefficient methods, which fundamentally limits the human administrator's ability to settle on the most educated decisions possible. Telemanipulation can minimize the distance and costs in varieties of robot applications, including industry for object manipulation and robot-aided rehabilitation. This research aims to develop a novel telemanipulation framework to deliver robot-assisted rehabilitation using PTC ThingWorx’s Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and Vuforia Studio’s Augmented Reality (AR) platforms. This communication architecture is …
