Hand of Hope
The interactive intention-driven hand training robotic system is used for neiromucular rehabilitation of the hand and forearm. This can help stroke survivors to regain their hand functions through motor relearning. The hand training system functions as a biofeedback device which surface electromyography (EMG) sensors and are used to captire the user's own muscle signals to activate the system for moving his/her paretic hand. These EMG signals are processed and can be visualized with visual feedback to make sure the user is actively engaging throughout the therapy sssion.

Exoskeleton Ankle Robot for Stroke Rehabilitation
Drop-foot is a gait abnormality that is common among stroke survivors. Patients show muscle weakness at the ankle dorsiflexors and hence experience difficulty in lifting up the foot, resulting in foot dragging on the ground during walking with high falling risk. The research team of the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) collaborated with The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, has developed the Exoskeleton Ankle Robot, which is a robot-assiste Ankle-foot-Orthosis (AFO) to facilitate gait training of stroke patients with drop foot.

Interactive Cycling System for Stroke Rehabilitation
The Interactive Cycling System was designed for individuals with stroke or lower limb disabilty. It integrates both motor power andmuscle power to facilitate the rehabilitation excercise by using the intenity of electromyography (EMG) signals as the inputs for the voluntary intention (muscle activites from surface electrodes), the motor can be driven to rotate with different speeds to facilitat the cycling motion, and the electrical pulses from th FES device can stimulate the target mucles to generate muscle contraction to support the continuous cycling movement, which not only can help to strengthen their muscles but also train the brain to relearn the muscle coordination.

AR Stoke Rehabilitation Training systems for Excercise Programme
The AR Rehab System is an intelligent platfor for real-time monitoring of the body movements of the patients during an exercise programme. Using a small depth camera and infra-red motion capture system, it can capture useful biomechanical data accurately, including:
  • Location of body centre of mass
  • Range of motion in the body joint angles
  • Body posture coordinate and stability
