Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new design for a finger and wrist
rehabilitation robot. Furthermore, a fuzzy sliding mode controller has been designed to control the …

Static analysis of two 3-degree of freedom spherical parallel mechanisms, 3-RRS and 3-RSR,
is the main purpose of this study. First, static equilibrium equations are derived for the …

Purpose – This paper aims to review the mechanical characteristics of the robotic mechanisms
developed for ultrasound examinations. This will help to extract those mechanical …

Repetitive hand movement is often used as a rehabilitation technique in order to regain hand
movement and strength. A wearable hand rehabilitation device can help physiotherapist to …

The main purpose of this study is static analysis of two three-degree of freedom parallel
mechanisms: 3-RCC and 3-RRS. Geometry of these mechanisms is expressed and static …

… In their research on the control method of the wrist-finger wearable rehabilitation robots,
Alireza Abbasi Moshaii et al. [22] , for phenomena such as disturbances and chattering in robotic …

Hand rehabilitation is one of the most important rehabilitation procedures. Due to the repetitive
nature of rehabilitation training, a full robotic system could help the physiotherapists to …

This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed
on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the …

The technical development of diagnostic ultrasound got a fast-innovative period in last 20
years. The resolution and quantitative analysis of ultrasound images have achieved to a high …

In this section, several examples of task-specific haptic systems are given. They shall give
an insight in the process of defining haptic interactions for a given purpose and illustrate the …
