Assimilation of virtual legs and perception of floor texture by complete paraplegic patients receiving artificial tactile feedback

Hannes Bleuler, Solaiman Shokur, Simon Gallo, Miguel Nicolelis

Spinal cord injuries disrupt bidirectional communication between the patient's brain and body. Here, we demonstrate a new approach for reproducing lower limb somatosensory feedback in paraplegics by remapping missing leg/foot tactile sensations onto the sk ...

Series Elastic Actuation for Assistive Orthotic Devices: Case Study of Pneumatic Actuator

Hannes Bleuler, Mohamed Bouri, Jonathan Olivier, Amalric Louis Ortlieb

Wearable assistive robotics is a modern field where intelligent actuated systems work in collaboration with the body to replace a lost limb, to enhance performances (e.g. carrying load, walking, running, jumping) or to train or rehabilitate specific activi ...

EMG Pattern Recognition Using Decomposition Techniques for Constructing Multiclass Classifiers

Christian Enz, Claudio Bruschini, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

To improve the dexterity of multi-functional myoelectric prosthetic hand, more accurate hand gesture recognition based on surface electromyographic (sEMG) signal is needed. This paper evaluates two types of time-domain EMG features, one independent feature ...

Sensory Feedback for Prosthetic Hand Users

Christian Enz, Huaiqi Huang, Tao Li, Jörn Justiz

The proposed project targets the restoration of a natural sense of touch to persons using hand prostheses. Current myoelectrical upper limb prostheses normally lack tactile feedback, which limits their functionalities and user acceptance. This work propose ...
