Studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) have shown positive effects of force feedback on spatial symmetry; somatosensory stimulation is thought to facilitate recovery of temporal symmetry. Despite the known importance of sensorimotor integration for motor recovery, interventions that incorporate RAGT and somatosensory stimuli have been largely overlooked so far. In this paper, we explore how gait symmetry can be restored in healthy subjects following unilateral foot perturbations, using adaptive assistive forces and plantar vibrotactile stimuli provided by a bilateral powered ankle-foot orthosis. Results suggest that combined force feedback and vibrotactile stimuli may be more effective than force feedback alone in reducing spatial asymmetry. Further, force feedback did not produce significant improvements in temporal symmetry, unlike the combined modality. We discuss possible implications of these preliminary findings for future training paradigms for RAGT.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133422934","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given their intensive therapy regime, robots may promote a temporary increase in hand muscle tone and spasticity, which may cause pain and negatively affect recovery. To integrate hand muscle tone monitoring into an assessment-driven robot-assisted therapy concept, an online assessment of muscle tone is proposed and incorporated into an exercise. The exercise was preliminarily tested in a pilot study with five chronic stroke survivors (non-spastic at rest) and five healthy participants to identify the range of potential physiological muscle tone change that can happen also in a non-spastic population during a single exercise session. In both groups, the muscle tone level during hand opening was higher in fast 20 mm ramp-and-hold perturbations (150 ms) compared to slow (250 ms) perturbations, and corresponded to a force change of approximately 4-5 N. Despite not being statistically significantly different, in the stroke group the force change (and the speed dependency) increased with exercise time. This information could serve as a basis to develop strategies to continuously adapt the difficulty and activity level required in robot-assisted rehabilitation and to monitor or even control the muscle tone evolution over time","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114726394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children with unilateral spastic cerebral palsy (USCP) exhibit severe sensory and motor impairments to one side of their body that make the process of coordinating bimanual movements particularly exhausting. Prior studies have shown that performing visually-coupled task could reduce cognitive interference associated with performing ‘two tasks at once’ in an uncoupled bimanual task. For children with USCP, who also present with cognitive delay, performing this type of task may allow them to process and plan their movement faster. We tested this hypothesis by examining the grip force control of 7 children with USCP during unimanual and visually-coupled bimanual tasks. Results demonstrated that despite the visual coupling, the bimanual coordination of these children remained impaired. However, there may be a potential benefit of visually-coupled task in encouraging both hands to initiate in concert. The implication of the study for children with USCP is discussed.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123585922","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Reducing injuries in sheep shearing could be as simple as extending shearer rest periods between sheep, but the effect of this has not previously been studied. The lumbar flexion-relaxation phenomenon is present in sheep shearing and the onset angle of this phenomenon can provide insight into lower back injury risk. The increase in the onset angle of lumbar flexion-relaxation over several work-rest periods for a simulated sheep shearing task is studied. The rate of increase in the onset angle of lumbar flexion-relaxation was higher when shorter breaks were taken for all participants at least unilaterally, indicating that longer rest breaks could reduce back injury risk. Due to the constraints of the sheep shearing occupation, this type of intervention is better suited to learner and novice shearers. Assistive robotic devices would be more suited to reduce injuries in expert shearers, and some insight is provided for the application of these within sheep shearing. Further study of this phenomenon in sheep shearing could provide additional insight to developing an assistive device that could reduce injury.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123953822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims at formalizing a framework that closes the loop between a clinician’s expertise and computational algorithms, to enhance the clinician’s diagnostic capabilities during physical manipulation. The framework’s premise is that the dynamics that can be measured by manipulation of a limb are distinct between movement disorders. An a priori database contains measurements encoded in a space called the information map. Based on this map, a computational algorithm identifies which probing motions are more likely to yield distinguishing information about a patient’s movement disorder. The clinician executes this movement and the resulting dynamics, combined with clinician input, is used by the algorithm to estimate which of the movement disorders in the database are most probable. This is recursively repeated until a diagnosis can be confidently made. The main contributions of this paper are the formalization of the framework and the addition of the information map to select informative movements. The establishment of the framework provides a foundation for a standardized assessment of movement disorders and future work will aim at testing the framework’s efficacy.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125289535","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Existing tools of walking assistance for mobility-impaired people include passive canes or wheeled rollators which increase energy consumption on the users and disturb the users’ walking rhythm, and powered wheeled chairs which could preclude the muscle activities and accelerate the degeneration of the lower limbs. The research in this paper aiming at helping mobility-impaired people proposes a novel robotic platform with quadrupedal locomotion. With motorized actuation, the quadruped robotic platform could accompany the user at the center and provide protection and possible walking assistance if needed. As the robotic platform is equipped with a leg locomotion, it can enlarge the user’s activity environments, such as both indoor flat floor and outdoor uneven terrain. It can even assist the user to involve in some mobility challenging activities, such as climbing stairs. In this paper, we illustrate the mechanical design of the robotic platform. A continuous gait planning is proposed to create a smooth locomotion for the robot. To quantify the performance, a system-level walking experimentation was conducted, and the results showed that quadruped robotic platform can maintain a statically stability which demonstrate the feasibility and capability of the robotic application for walking assistance.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"62 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130670706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Often, complex tasks are directly taught as a whole, even though training of simple movement components before training the entire movement has been shown to be more effective for particularly complex tasks (“part-whole transfer paradigm”). The important implication of the part-whole transfer paradigm, e.g. on the field of rehabilitation robotics, is that training of most complex tasks could be simplified and, subsequently, devices used to train can become simpler and more affordable. In this way, robot-assisted rehabilitation could become more accessible. However, often the last step in the training process is forgotten: the recomposition of several simple movement components to a complete complex movement. Therefore, at least for the last training step, a complex rehabilitation device may be required.In a pilot study, we wanted to investigate if a complex robotic device (e.g. an exoskeleton robot with many degrees of freedom), such as the ARMin rehabilitation robot, is really beneficial for training the coordination between several simpler movement components or if training using visual feedback would lead to equal benefits. In a study, involving 16 healthy participants, who were instructed in a complex rugby motion, we could show first trends on the following two aspects: i) the part-whole transfer paradigm seems to hold true and therefore, simple robots might be used for training movement primitives. ii) Visual feedback does not seem to have the same potential, at least in healthy humans, to replace visuo-haptic guidance for movement recomposition of complex tasks. Therefore, complex rehabilitation robots seem to be beneficial for training complex real-life tasks.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131079042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This increase is more evident in normal subjects and less in patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), a disorder associated with deficits in the formation of new motor skills. Here, we investigated whether such EEG changes improved in a group of PD patients, after two different treatments and whether this relates to performance. Subjects underwent either a session of 5 Hz repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) over the right posterior parietal cortex or a 4-week Multidisciplinary Intensive Rehabilitation Treatment (MIRT). We used a reaching task with visuo-motor adaptation to a rotated display in incremental 10° steps up to 60°. Retention of the learned rotation was tested before and after either intervention over two consecutive days. High-density EEG was recorded throughout the testing. We found that patients adapted their movements to the rotated display similarly to controls, although retention was poorer. Both rTMS and MIRT lead to improvement in retention of the learned rotation. Mean beta modulation levels changed significantly after MIRT and not after rTMS. These results suggest that rTMS produced local improvement reflected in enhanced short-term skill retention; on the other hand, MIRT determined changes across the contralateral sensorimotor area, reflected in beta EEG changes.","PeriodicalId":130415,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics (ICORR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129280399","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
