Abstract EN

This paper proposed a bilateral upper-limb rehabilitation device (BULReD) with two degrees of freedom (DOFs).

The BULReD is portable for both hospital and home environment, easy to use for therapists and patients, and safer with respect to upper-limb robotic exoskeletons.

It was implemented to be able to conduct both passive and interactive training, based on system kinematics and dynamics, as well as the identification of real-time movement intention of human users.

Preliminary results demonstrate the potential of the BULReD for clinical applications, with satisfactory position and interaction force tracking performance.

Future work will focus on the clinical evaluation of the BULReD on a large sample of poststroke patients.
