Radio Frequency-Based Gesture Recognition Technique for Human Computer Systems
Background Touchless interaction systems have grown in prevalence in recent years, including gesture-based interaction systems. Gesture recognition forms an integral part of human-computer interaction (HCI) technologies that deal with recognizing various movements of the human body, and interpreting them as commands to interact with a machine. Hand...

Smart Environment-Aware Lower-Limb Robotic Prosthesis
Background Robotic prostheses have the potential to change the lives of millions of lower-limb amputees by providing critical support during legged locomotion. Powered protheses specifically enable complex capabilities including level-ground walking, running, or stair climbing, while also enabling reductions in metabolic cost and improvements in ergonomic...

Soft Wearable Sensory Substitution Device
­Inability to gauge force or loss of sensation in the feet or legs, caused by peripheral neuropathy or diabetes is estimated to affect over 20 million people in the United States. Because walking is inhibited, and trips and falls are more prevalent, this deficiency can have a profound effect on standard of living. While there have been other systems...

Robotic Ankle System for Gait Disorders
There are many factors that can contribute to gait disorders including aging, injury, and neurological conditions. When considering gait rehabilitation, the ankle push-off phase is vital in a patient’s ability to walk and propel themselves forward. During this push-off phase, the planar flexor muscles provide a large amount of force to push the...

Gait rehabilitation using mechanical perturbations on the unimpaired leg to provide therapy to the impaired
In the United States alone there are over 795,000 new strokes each year. 90% of stroke survivors require therapy, but a vast majority of these patients are only able to achieve minimal functional recovery five years after their stroke. Robot-assisted therapy is a cutting-edge technique which is expected to improve patient outcome because robots can...

Variable Stiffness Treadmill System
Patients with neurological conditions such as stroke often have weakness on one side of their body. This can cause the patient to walk with an abnormal gait. One leg may move more slowly than the other and the length of the stride on one side of the body may be shorter than the other side. Rehabilitation of the abnormal gait is important to the patient...
