A Novel Clinical-Driven Design for Robotic Hand Rehabilitation
Combining Sensory Training, Effortless Setup, and Large Range of Motion in a Palmar Device
Towards Unsupervised Rehabilitation
Development of a Portable Compliant Device for Sensorimotor Hand Rehabilitation
Sensorimotor impairments of the hand after stroke can drastically reduce the ability to perform activities of daily living. Recently, there has been an increased interest in minimally supervised and unsupervised rehabilitation to increase therapy dosage and to complement conve ...
Towards Functional Robotic Rehabilitation
Clinical-Driven Development of a Novel Device for Sensorimotor Hand Training
Currently, there is a lack of easy-to-use hand rehabilitation devices which not only retrain motor functions, but also include somatosensory information of the interaction with tangible virtual objects to also regain sensory function. To overcome these shortcomings, we are dev ...
Whole-hand haptic rendering could lead to more naturalistic and intuitive virtual hand-object interactions, which could be especially beneficial for applications such as sensorimotor robotic neurorehabilitation. However, the majority of previously proposed whole-hand haptic re ...
In order to identify the clinical requirements for a novel upper-limb robotic device for sensorimotor neurorehabilitation, a survey with 33 participants (including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, nurses and physicians) was conducted. The results s ...
