Disabilities are a global issue due to the decrease in life quality and mobility of patients,
especially people suffering from hand disabilities. This paper presents a review of active …

Among the methods of hand function rehabilitation after stroke, robot-assisted rehabilitation
is widely used, and the use of hand rehabilitation robots can provide functional training of …

This work proposes a novel external Stephenson-III six-bar mechanism-based rehabilitation
device. This device has been designed to rehabilitate the patient's finger for the action of …

This paper proposes the synthesis of a human knee exoskeleton using the reduced number
of necessary and sufficient constraints. The proposed human knee exoskeleton consists of a …

This paper presents the development of a finger rehabilitation robot (FRR) for active and
passive training to fulfill the requirements of different rehabilitation stages. In the design, an …

This paper presents a novel exoskeleton mechanism for finger motion assistance. The
exoskeleton is designed as a serial 2-degrees-of-freedom wearable mechanism that is able …

The goal of robotic manipulators is to grasp objects of irregular shapes with better precision
and efficiency. Universal grippers developed in recent years are designed with excessive …

Four-bar mechanisms are widespread in industrial and quotidian applications, but their
design requires deep knowledge and experience in Mechanisms and Machine Theory. In …

Traditional metaheuristics are easy to fall into local optimum when solving complex
dimensional synthesis problems. To solve this problem, a repellency evolutionary algorithm …

Robotic hand exoskeletons can assist people who suffer from hand. functional disabilities
caused by a stroke. However, currently existing hand exoskeletons remain inadequate in …
