Remote communication is a great barrier for persons with multiple disabilities (PWMDs) of speech and motor disabilities who have difficulties with both speaking and typing, e.g., persons with Cerebral Palsy (CP). Typically, PWMDs need to use Augmentative ...

Real-time captioning is a challenging task, as accurate text transcription must be produced within a few seconds after the word is uttered. We have explored several techniques that could be used to produce real-time captioning for Thai. An on-line real-...

Assistive feeding using a robotic arm can help people become more independent and reduce caregiver burden. The ability to skewer different types of food is a key requirement for assistive feeding. State-of-the-art methods have shown promising results by ...

Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a non-invasive neuromodulating therapy that effectively treats various pain syndromes. In recent years, the widespread application of TENS and new advances in analgesic mechanisms have enabled precise,...

Prostheses are the only means to help amputees recover their ability to walk. Traditional hip disarticulation prostheses (HDP) are primarily of passive structures, which make it extremely difficult for amputees to operate the prostheses and will develop ...

For lower limb exoskeletons to be used for daily activities, it has to understand the diverse nature of its operating terrain. Computer vision offers an excellent avenue for terrain recognition for such applications. In this paper, we propose a ...

This paper presents the development of a cluster based, motion capture enabled, rehabilitation game for intensive practice in stroke rehabilitation. The implementation uses a low cost 6 camera Vicon Origin system and their Evoke software. The data is ...

A new, simple, inexpensive IMU system for measuring shod foot movement was developed. The system consisted of six 9-axis IMU wirelings and six control packages. Each wireling was connected to the control package through a cable. Foot switches were used ...

This paper presents a novel framework for pre-hospital emergency care named Emergency Telemedical Operation (ETO) system which serves the requirements of local administrative organizations who provide emergency medicine and emergency vehicles in response ...

This study compares the biomechanical results of healthy individuals walking straight using OpenSim and Visual3D which differ in their optimization and modeling approaches for kinematics and kinetics calculation. The motion capture data of nine healthy ...

This paper presents a pilot study that uses a markerless motion capture system to measure active shoulder joint range of motion in a clinic room. The measurements from this automated method are compared with manual measurements done by a clinician using ...

Nirun is a smart health management system for senior nursing homes designed to alleviate the caregiving workload so that older adults receive better healthcare services, leading to better health outcomes. The system is integrated with existing state-of-...

About half of stroke survivors demonstrate deficits in sensing and perceiving their movements, but sensory retraining focusing on proprioceptive and kinaesthetic senses is often overlooked. The current work presents an evidence-based programme to retrain ...
