User-Driven Functional Movement Training with a Wearable Hand Robot after Stroke
Sangwoo Park, Michaela Fraser, Lynne M. Weber +5
We studied the performance of a robotic orthosis designed to assist the paretic hand after stroke. It is wearable and fully user-controlled, serving two possible roles: as a therap…
Multimodal Sensing and Interaction for a Robotic Hand Orthosis
Sangwoo Park, Cassie Meeker, Lynne M. Weber +3
Wearable robotic hand rehabilitation devices can allow greater freedom and flexibility than their workstation-like counterparts. However, the field is generally lacking effective m…
Design and Development of Effective Transmission Mechanisms on a Tendon Driven Hand Orthosis for Stroke Patients
Sangwoo Park, Lynne M. Weber, Lauri Bishop +2
Tendon-driven hand orthoses have advantages over exoskeletons with respect to wearability and safety because of their low-profile design and ability to fit a range of patients with…
EMG Pattern Classification to Control a Hand Orthosis for Functional Grasp Assistance after Stroke
Cassie Meeker, Sangwoo Park, Lauri Bishop +2
Wearable orthoses can function both as assistive devices, which allow the user to live independently, and as rehabilitation devices, which allow the user to regain use of an impair…
On the Feasibility of Wearable Exotendon Networks for Whole-Hand Movement Patterns in Stroke Patients
Sangwoo Park, Lauri Bishop, Tara Post +3
Fully wearable hand rehabilitation and assistive devices could extend training and improve quality of life for patients affected by hand impairments. However, such devices must del…
