The rehabilitation of patients should not only be limited to the first phases during intense hospital care but also support and therapy guaranteed in later stages, especially daily life activities if patient’s state requires this. However, aid given patient needed as much it is required. To allow this, automatic self-initiated movement patient-cooperative control strategies have developed integrated into assistive systems. In this work, we give an overview different kinds neuromuscular...
Patients with completely locked-in syndrome are conscious and alert, even though they have lost the ability to control their muscles.1 These patients require a communication channel independent of motor system. EEG-based brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) an available aid, but aside from intensive training that most them demand, not all achieve proficiency in EEG control. Here we report alternative method re-establish 46-year-old woman ALS. At time study, she had been diagnosed ALS for more...
Distance estimation in prey catching was as exact monocular toads (Bufo bufo (L.)) binocular ones. Application of Atropine or Miotic had no significant effect on animals, whereas it made accurate distance impossible. The accommodative state the eye is decisive for depth monocular, but not toads.
The goal of this work is the development and performance analysis control algorithms for new soft fluidic actuators with rotary elastic chambers (REC-actuators). Due to their inherent compliancy these fulfill requisites building intrinsically safe mechanisms as assistance robots motion therapy devices, working in direct physical contact humans. Besides difficulties common design pneumatic systems, itself posses several nonlinear characteristics causing specific problems modeling control. In...
