Kinematic Assessment of Upper Limb Movements Using the ArmeoPower Robotic Exoskeleton
Kinematic Assessment of Upper Limb Movements Using the ArmeoPower Robotic Exoskeleton 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
After a neurological injury, neurorehabilitation aims to restore sensorimotor function of patients. Technological assessments can provide high-quality data on a patient’s performance and support clinical decision making towards the most… read more

Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent
Controlling Powered Prosthesis Kinematics Over Continuous Inter-Leg Transitions Between Walking and Stair Ascent/Descent 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Although powered prosthetic legs have enabled more biomimetic joint kinematics during steady-state activities like walking and stair climbing, transitions between these activities are usually handled by discretely switching controllers without… read more

An Efficient Framework for Personalizing EMG-Driven Musculoskeletal Models Based on Reinforcement Learning
An Efficient Framework for Personalizing EMG-Driven Musculoskeletal Models Based on Reinforcement Learning 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
This study aimed to develop a novel framework to quickly personalize electromyography (EMG)-driven musculoskeletal models (MMs) as efferent neural interfaces for upper limb prostheses. Our framework adopts a generic upper-limb… read more

Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses
Author(s)3: Ricardo Garcia-Rosas, Denny Oetomo, Chris Manzie, Ying Tan, Peter Choong
Task-space Synergies for Reaching using Upper-limb Prostheses 672 207 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
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 movement in motion-based interfaces. read more
Synergy-Based FES for Post-Stroke Rehabilitation of Upper-Limb Motor Functions
