Introduction

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 1 –2

[Stroke is the largest cause of disability in developed countries. One cause of a stroke is a blood clot that blocks a vessel in the brain and stops blood reaching the regions downstream.]
Available

Iterative Learning Control—An Overview

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 3 –16

[This chapter gives the required background on iterative learning control. After introducing the defining characteristic of this form of control, attention is restricted to the laws used in the stroke rehabilitation research.]
Available

Technology Transfer to Stroke Rehabilitation

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 17 –24

[The link that extends ILC from industrial robotics to robotic-assisted stroke rehabilitation is described together with the methods a health professional uses to assess the ability and progress of a patient. This material underpins the remainder of the monograph.]
Available

ILC Based Upper-Limb Rehabilitation—Planar Tasks

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 25 –61

[This chapter details how an ILC based system for planar tasks has been developed to the stage of a small scale clinical trial. The results of tests conducted on 18 unimpaired volunteers who do not provide voluntary effort are given. These results contributed to the granting of ethical approval...

Iterative Learning Control of the Unconstrained Upper Limb

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 63 –91

[Building on the planar results of the previous chapter, an extension to a 3D task is developed where the ability to lift the arm is also rehabilitated. As stroke patients have difficulty lifting their affected arm, a gravity unweighting robot is used and the development again leads to a clinical...

Goal-Oriented Stroke Rehabilitation

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 93 –116

[Building on work reported in previous chapters, the system developed and evaluated in this chapter includes stimulation of the wrist and hand extensors. This directly targets activities of daily living, comprising real-world tasks that require manipulation of objects using the hand and wrist.]
Available

Conclusions and Further Research

Freeman, Chris T.; Rogers, Eric; Burridge, Jane H.; Hughes, Ann-Marie; Meadmore, Katie L.

Pages: 117 –120

[Stroke is the largest cause of disability in developed countries, where a relatively small percentage of patients with upper-limb impairment following stroke regain full function. In particular, many of these patients experience difficulty performing everyday reaching and grasping tasks....
