    Abstract

    Hemiplegia, the paralysis of one side of the body, is a common effect of stroke and provides unique challenges for afflicted individuals, including asymmetric body strength and limited mobility, especially in the sit-to-stand (STS) motion. Reducing weight-bearing asymmetry during STS is important for improving mobility outcomes of hemiplegic patients. To address this concern, a semi-wearable STS assistive robot is proposed to provide assistive force and motion guidance during the STS motion. It is a planar 2-DoF assistive robot attached near the hip, designed to reduce weight-bearing asymmetry and facilitate correct execution of the STS motion by guiding the user along a target STS path and constraining pelvic motion in the frontal plane, controlled using a single worn IMU. The method for generating unique target STS paths and assistive robot design is presented. Experiments on healthy test subjects with the motion of one leg constrained were conducted to determine the changes and correlations in force and motion parameters when using the assistive robot during STS. The assistive robot improved rising STS asymmetry in some test subjects and reduced stabilization weight-bearing asymmetry in all test subjects. Motion data showed that the assistive robot facilitated hip translation and tilt toward the test subjects’ constrained side, while a counter trunk tilt toward the unconstrained side was observed. The results of the experiments suggest that more active control of the hip position and tilt and providing real-time feedback during the STS motion could further improve the function of the robot.

    Abstract

    Sit-to-stand (STS) motion is an essential daily activity. However, this motion becomes increasingly difficult for older adults as their muscle strength declines with age. To assist individuals in standing up while maximizing their muscle strength based on the assist-as-needed (AAN) strategy, assistive devices must detect early STS intent, specifically before the buttocks leave the chair, to ensure timely assistance. This study proposes a novel method for detecting STS intent by applying external mechanical stimuli to the toes and analyzing the resulting changes in heel and toe-reaction forces. Moreover, a structured detection framework was developed by utilizing predefined thresholds for the change rate and magnitude of the heel and toe-reaction forces to detect STS intent. Offline tests for threshold setting of STS-intent detection were established in the offline tests: change rate and magnitude of the reaction forces on the heel and toes. The thresholds for each criterion were determined using the Pareto optimization method. Using the determined thresholds, these criteria were then applied in online tests to evaluate the performance of the proposed intent detection method. The results demonstrated that mechanical stimuli improved the performance of STS-intent detection, providing accurate and stable detection. This method can be applied to STS-assistive devices to effectively implement AAN functionality for standing assistance.

    Abstract

    Upper limb motor dysfunction significantly impacts daily activities and quality of life for individuals with stroke. Existing assistive robots often struggle to balance portability, ease of use, and motion assistance. This research presents WELiBot, a novel wearable end-effector-type upper limb assistive robot, designed with a 4R-5R parallel mechanism and an arc-shaped guide rail to provide controlled assistance in lifting, reaching, and circumferential motions. The study introduces the conception of the robot design, focusing on its functional requirements and mechanical structure. The kinematic and static characteristics of WELiBot were analyzed to evaluate its feasibility and effectiveness. Based on this design, a prototype with a 1/4 arc-shaped guide rail was fabricated to test motion feasibility and assistance effects. To assess its performance, electromyography experiments were conducted with four healthy participants. The results showed a significant reduction in biceps brachii muscle activity, confirming the robot’s ability to reduce user effort. Future work will focus on attaching the guide rail to the body for improved usability and refining the control strategy to enhance motion assistance and adaptability in daily life support applications.

    Introduction

    Transferring a patient from one place to another is one of the most strenuous works in nursing care. To address this issue, we proposed a concept for a lifting assistance device that uses two cables to perform operations such as translation, rotation, and stay. It facilitates direct touch between the caregiver and the care receiver, allowing intuitive adjustments of position and posture based on the caregiver’s intention, detected through variations in cable tension.

    Methods

    To investigate the effectiveness of this concept, lifting experiments using a fabricated prototype were conducted. Twelve subjects, including four physical therapists (PTs) and eight subjects having no transfer experience, acted as caregivers, and a dummy was used as the care receiver.

    Results

    Results show that regardless of the transfer experience, the caregiver’s intention detection and adjustment of the care receiver’s position and posture were successfully achieved with an accuracy of over 70%.

    Discussion

    Survey feedback collected after the lifting experiments confirmed that utilizing direct touch between the caregiver and the care receiver was highly valued by all subjects, with a 5-point Likert scale rating both PTs (average score: 4.8 points) and non-experienced subjects (average score: 4.3 points).

    There is an urgent need for a gait assisting device that simultaneously compensates for the loss of gait function reducing ankle plantarflexion torque and limited dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM). In this work, a walking assistance is proposed by using a device with an independent link attached on the ankle joint. We investigated the effect of the independent link on ankle joint torque and the assisted motion range via analysis. The results of the analysis revealed that the proposed device could assist patients with limited ankle dorsiflexion ROM and low plantarflexion strength simultaneously. For patients with mild dorsiflexion ROM limitation of the ankle joint (7° or more), it was found that walking within the limited ROM is possible and that a large assisting torque is possible by front side link assistance. The ankle torque load can be reduced by 60% under the conditions of this work. For patients with severe ankle dorsiflexion ROM limitation (2° or more, 6° or less), it was found that walking within the ROM was possible and that torque assistance is possible by back side link assistance. The ankle joint torque load can be reduced by 30% under the proposed conditions in this work.

    Abstract

    High-efficiency plasma skimming is hopeful to prevent hemolysis inside spiral groove bearings (SGBs) because it can exclude red blood cells from the ridge gap with a high shear force. However, no study reveals the shape design of SGBs to improve plasma skimming. Therefore, this study proposed and applied a groove design strategy to designing an optimal SGB for enhancing plasma skimming in a rotary blood pump (RBP). Initially, we proposed the design strategy that the shape of the groove for enhancing plasma skimming corresponds to the direction of blood flow in the ridge gap. Second, we visualized the cell flow in a specially designed experimental RBP to determine the direction of blood flow, which was helpful in the subsequent SGB design. Then, we created an SGB to provide superior plasma skimming and applied it to the experimental RBP. We evaluated the plasma skimming effect of SGB at rotational speeds ranging from 2400 to 3000 rpm and hematocrit conditions between 1% and 40%. At a 1% hematocrit, the plasma skimming efficiency for the entire SGB was greater than 95%. In all hematocrit conditions, the efficiency at the inner ridges of the SGB was greater than 80%. The results showed the designed SGB successfully induced excellent plasma skimming within ridge gaps. This study is the first to propose and apply a shape design strategy to generate excellent plasma skimming within an SGB. This study may contribute to the prevention of SGB hemolysis inside SGB for use in RBPs.
