A Portable Soft Hand Exerciser With Variable Elastic Resistance for Rehabilitation and Strengthening of Finger, Wrist, and Hand1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Customizable Soft Pneumatic Chamber–Gripper Devices for Delicate Surgical Manipulation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Traditional hard tissue grippers are limited in handling delicate soft tissues during surgery, particularly due to the high stress points that are generated on the soft tissue during gripping. In this study, customizable ...
Development of a Soft Pneumatic Sock for Robot Assisted Ankle Exercise
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a severe medical condition that affects many patients around the world, where one of the main causes is commonly associated with prolonged immobilization. Current mechanical prophylaxis systems, ...
A Low Profile Soft Robotic Sixth Finger for Grasp Compensation in Hand Impaired Patients1
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
A Fabric-Based Wearable Soft Robotic Limb
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, a fabric-based wearable soft robotic limb (SRL) is presented. It can be worn on the user’s body to potentially assist with activities of daily living. This SRL can perform a bidirectional bending motion by ...
Design of a Soft Robotic Glove for Hand Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients With Clenched Fist Deformity Using Inflatable Plastic Actuators
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this paper, we present a soft robotic glove designed to augment hand rehabilitation for stroke patients with clenched fist deformity. The robotic glove provides active finger extension for hand rehabilitative training, ...
