Therapist-Exoskeleton-Patient Interaction for Gait Therapy
Emek BarıŠKüçüktabak, Matthew R. Short, Lorenzo Vianello +4
Following a stroke, individuals often experience mobility and balance impairments due to lower-limb weakness and loss of independent joint control. Gait recovery is a key goal of r…
Robot-mediated physical Human-Human Interaction in Neurorehabilitation: a position paper
Lorenzo Vianello, Matthew Short, Julia Manczurowsky +25
Neurorehabilitation conventionally relies on the interaction between a patient and a physical therapist. Robotic systems can improve and enrich the physical feedback provided to pa…
Deep-Learning Control of Lower-Limb Exoskeletons via simplified Therapist Input
Lorenzo Vianello, Clément Lhoste, Emek BarıŠKüçüktabak +3
Partial-assistance exoskeletons hold significant potential for gait rehabilitation by promoting active participation during (re)learning of normative walking patterns. Typically, t…
Unidirectional Human-Robot-Human Physical Interaction for Gait Training
Lorenzo Amato, Lorenzo Vianello, Emek Baris Kucuktabak +6
This work presents a novel rehabilitation framework designed for a therapist, wearing an inertial measurement unit (IMU) suit, to virtually interact with a lower-limb exoskeleton w…
Exoskeleton-Mediated Physical Human-Human Interaction for a Sit-to-Stand Rehabilitation Task
Lorenzo Vianello, Emek BarıŠKüçüktabak, Matthew Short +4
Sit-to-Stand (StS) is a fundamental daily activity that can be challenging for stroke survivors due to strength, motor control, and proprioception deficits in their lower limbs. Ex…
