Grasp Force Assistance via Throttle-based Wrist Angle Control on a Robotic Hand Orthosis for C6-C7 Spinal Cord Injury
Joaquin Palacios, Alexandra Deli-Ivanov, Ava Chen +4
Individuals with hand paralysis resulting from C6-C7 spinal cord injuries frequently rely on tenodesis for grasping. However, tenodesis generates limited grasping force and demands…

Volitional Control of the Paretic Hand Post-Stroke Increases Finger Stiffness and Resistance to Robot-Assisted Movement
Ava Chen, Katelyn Lee, Lauren Winterbottom +7
Increased effort during use of the paretic arm and hand can provoke involuntary abnormal synergy patterns and amplify stiffness effects of muscle tone for individuals after stroke,…

Towards Tenodesis-Modulated Control of an Assistive Hand Exoskeleton for SCI
Joaquin Palacios, Alexandra Deli-Ivanov, Ava Chen +4
Restoration of hand function is one of the highest priorities for SCI populations. In this work, we present a prototype of a robotic assistive orthosis capable of implementing teno…
