10. ROS-based high-level control to use light-weight cooperative robots for rehabilitation purposes

Author

Caimmi, Marco, Beschi, Manuel, and Tosatti, Lorenzo Molinari

Subjects
light weight robots, Rehabilitation robotics, ROS
Abstract

A Qt5 GUI and a ROS-based high level control was developed for rehab purposes. Using ROS presents 2 main advantages: on the one hand the GUI and control can be easily adapted and re-utilized to control forthcoming robots and, on the other hand, it facilitates the integration of other devices (e.g. FES) , acquisition systems (eg EMG and EEG), and different sensors (e.g. IMUs). The work will be presented along with a discussion on the advantages of using such an approach in the research field of robotics for rehabilitation., https://youtu.be/9W3vFuj7s2g

16. Kinect One-Based Assessment of Upper-Limb Functionality in Post-Stroke Patients: A Comparison with Clinical Scales

Author

Subjects
Kinect One, biomechanics, upper-limb, clinical scales, rehabilitation, motor control
Abstract

This paper presents a Kinect One sensor-based protocol for the evaluation of the motor-performances of the upper limb of neurological patients during rehabilitative sessions. The assessment provides evaluations of kinematic, dynamic, motor and postural control variables. A pilot study was conducted on three post-stroke neurological patients, comparing Kinect-One biomechanical assessment with the outcomes of some of the most common clinical scales for the evaluation of the upper-limb functionality. Preliminary results indicate coherency between the clinical and instrumental evaluation. Moreover, the Kinect-One assessment seems to provide some complementary quantitative information, consistently integrating the clinical assessment.

35. A spherical parallel three degrees-of-freedom robot for ankle-foot neuro-rehabilitation.

Author

Malosio, Matteo, Negri, Simone Pio, Pedrocchi, Nicola, Vicentini, Federico, Caimmi, Marco, and Molinari Tosatti, Lorenzo

Abstract

The ankle represents a fairly complex bone structure, resulting in kinematics that hinders a flawless robot-assisted recovery of foot motility in impaired subjects. The paper proposes a novel device for ankle-foot neuro-rehabilitation based on a mechatronic redesign of the remarkable Agile Eye spherical robot on the basis of clinical requisites. The kinematic design allows the positioning of the ankle articular center close to the machine rotation center with valuable benefits in term of therapy functions. The prototype, named PKAnkle, Parallel Kinematic machine for Ankle rehabilitation, provides a 6-axes load cell for the measure of subject interaction forces/torques, and it integrates a commercial EMG-acquisition system. Robot control provides active and passive therapeutic exercises. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

Abstract

Wearable exoskeletons can be valuable assistive robots to physically support humans in a wide variety of daily living activities. However, there is a lack of standards for the devices benchmark and evaluation. The STEPbySTEP project is developing a modular and sensorized reconfigurable staircase testbed for lower-limb exoskeletons benchmarking to be included in the main EUROBENCH project testing facility. In addition, metrics for the benchmark and evaluation of different solutions are defined, including physical interaction metrics, ergonomics metrics, and human factors metrics.

Abstract

Low-Back Pain (LBP) affects a large portion of the working population. Preventive exoskeletons have been proposed to reduce the moments on the lower back, specifically around the lumbosacral (L5/S1) joint. High correlation has been shown, between reducing the moments around the L5/S1 joint and intervertebral compression forces, which in turn have been identified as a risk factor for developing LBP. However, most passive back support exoskeletons use rigid plates or stiff beams to support the spine that limit the range of motion of the wearer. A large range of motion and versatility are especially desirable for industrial applications. To overcome these limitations, a passive biomimetic exo-spine has been designed, modelled and an initial prototype tested. Its potential to allow for a large range of motion, whilst at the same time limiting the most extreme and potentially harmful postures has been shown.

Abstract

This paper presents design of a novel modular lower-limb gait exoskeleton built within the FP7 BioMot project. Exoskeleton employs a variable stiffness actuator (VSA) in all 6 joints, a directional-flexibility structure and a novel physical human-robot interfacing, which allow it to deliver the required output while minimally constraining user’s gait by providing passive degrees of freedom. Due to the modularity, exoskeleton can be used as a full lower-limb orthosis, a single-joint orthosis in any of the three joints, and a two-joint orthosis in a combi- nation of any of the two joints. By employing a simple torque control strategy, exoskeleton can be used to deliver a user- specific assistance, both in gait rehabilitation and in assisting people suffering musculoskeletal impairments. The result of the presented BioMot efforts is a low footprint-exoskeleton with powerful compliant actuators, simple, yet effective torque controller and easily adjustable flexible structure.

Abstract

The human ankle joint plays a crucial role during walking. At the push-off phase the ankle plantarflexors generate the highest torque among the lower limb joints during this activity. The potential of the ankle plantarflexors is affected by numerous pathologies and injuries, which cause a decrease in the ability of the subject to achieve a natural gait pattern. Active orthoses have shown to have potential in assisting these subjects. The design of such robots is very challenging due to the contrasting design requirements of wearability (light weight and compact) and high torques capacity. This paper presents the development of a high-torque ankle actuator to assist the ankle joint in both dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. The compliant actuator is a spindle-driven MACCEPA (Mechanically Adjustable Compliance and Controllable Equilibrium Position Actuator). The design of the actuator was made to keep its weight as low as possible, while being able to provide high torques. As a result of this novel design, the actuator weighs 1.18kg. Some static characterization tests were perfomed on the actuator and their results are shown in the paper.
