Yeong CF, Melendez-Calderon A, Burdet E, 2009, Analysis of pick-and-place, eating and drinking movements for the workspace definition of simple robotic devices, Pages: 46-52

Current robotic devices for rehabilitation after stroke are often large and complex as they are conceived to train arbitrary movements in the 3D space. This paper analyzes the minimal requirements that the workspace of a robotic device should have in order to promote training of principal activities of daily living, considering the shoulder movement's limitations of subacute patients. Pick-and-place, drinking and eating movements of five healthy subjects were analyzed. In all these three tasks, approximately 82% of all trials deviate laterally less than 5% of the target distance and we recommend target distances of less than 40% of the arm length in order to minimize improper shoulder movements. The study can be applied for designing simpler, yet efficient robotic devices for rehabilitation of the upper limb or for constraining exercises on existing ones when dealing with stroke patients, especially for those prone to shoulder complications (e.g. subacute patients). ©2009 IEEE.

This paper investigates robot-assisted rehabilitation after stroke using the Haptic Knob, a 2 degree-of-freedom end-effector based robotic device to train grasping and wrist pronation/supination. Nine chronic stroke subjects trained over a period of 6 weeks, with 3 one-hour sessions of robotassisted therapy per week, consisting of two exercises requiring active participation promoted by therapeutic games. Results of standard clinical assessments demonstrate the positive effects of robot-assisted therapy with the Haptic Knob. Subjects improved by a mean of 4.3 points in the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale, together with a decrease in hand impairments such as abnormal muscle tone frequently observed in stroke subjects. Significant improvements were also observed in motor function of the upper arm as a result of the robot-assisted therapy, suggesting homogeneous improvement of upper limb function as a result of distal training. ©2009 IEEE.

This paper investigates robot-assisted rehabilitation and assessment of hand function after stroke using the Haptic Knob, a 2 degrees-of-freedom end-effector based robotic device to train grasping and wrist pronation/supination. Nine chronic stroke subjects trained over a period of 6 weeks, with 3 one-hour sessions of robot-assisted therapy per week, consisting in two exercises requiring active participation promoted by therapeutic games. Behavioral data collected by the Haptic Knob were analyzed to evaluate motion control, smoothness and precision over the therapy. Subjects progressively improved their performances in the proposed functional exercises, suggesting improvement in hand motor function. This was con rmed by results of standard clinical assessment as subjects improved a mean of 4.3 points in the Fugl-Meyer assessment scale, accompanied by a decrease in spasticity. These results illustrate the positive e ect of therapy with the Haptic Knob and the possibility to use it as an assessment tool to evaluate and monitor hand motor function during rehabilitation therapy. © ACM 2009.

Melendez-Calderon A, Masia L, Casadio M, Burdet Eet al., 2009, Force field compensation can be learned without proprioceptive error, Pages: 381-383, ISSN: 1680-0737

Robotic devices able to train both reaching and manipulation, involving multiple degrees-of-freedom (DOF), are often large and complex. Could mechanically simpler devices be used to train people, by using only visual feedback and constraining the limb in one or more of the degrees of freedom during task performance? This study examines how this motion guidance influences motor learning in healthy subjects, when virtual kinematic error is provided as visual feedback. The results demonstrate that i) virtual learning is possible, though the learning pattern are slightly different than in learning with full proprioception error, and ii) the inverse model learned is similar in the two conditions. © 2009 Springer-Verlag.

Rebsamen B, Burdet E, Zeng Q, Zhang H, Ang M, Teo CL, Guan C, Laugier Cet al., 2008, Hybrid P300 and mu-beta brain computer interface to operate a brain controlled wheelchair, Pages: 51-55

This paper describes a control strategy to drive a wheelchair in a building environment by thought. The user selects the destination in a list of predefined locations of interest using a slow but safe P300 EEG interface. The robotic wheelchair navigates autonomously toward destination following virtual guiding paths. Along the way the user has the possibility to stop the movement using a fast μβ-rhythm BCI. Experiments demonstrate how healthy subjects can navigate safely in an home-like environment using this novel hybrid BCI.

Finger extension and coordination are two of the impaired hand functions stroke survivors most desire to recover. We have developed a robotic interface, the HandCARE, to train these functions. The system consists of a Cable-Actuated REhabilitation (CARE) system in which each finger is attached to an instrumented cable loop allowing force control and a predominantly linear displacement. The interface can assist the subject in opening and closing movements and can be adapted to accommodate various hand sizes and finger shapes. Exercises have been implemented using a motivating approach promoting recovery of specific hand functions. To evaluate the training of finger coordination, a poststroke subject practiced for 20 minutes twice a week during six weeks with the HandCARE. The results show significant improvements in finger coordination as well as in movement pattern, i.e. less submovements during hand opening.
