Analysis and passive control of a four-bar linkage for the rehabilitation of upper-limb motion
(American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2015)In the last two decades robotic rehabilitation research provided significant insight regarding the human-robot interaction, helped understand the process by which the impaired nervous system is retrained to better control ...

Compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions: Flow and fiber orientation
(Publ by ASME, 1993)The focus of this paper is compression molding of semi-concentrated fiber suspensions. During compression molding a premeasured amount of raw material (charge) is placed between two halves of a die. The die is then closed ...

Design and development of a haptic peg-board exercise for the rehabilitation of people with multiple sclerosis
(Affiliation: Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box: 20537, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of CyprusCorrespondence Address: Xydas, E. G.Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box: 20537, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: mep4ex01@ucy.ac.cy, 2007)Peg-in-Hole methods, like the Nine Hole Peg-Board Test (NHPT) and the Perdue board are widely employed for the functional assessment and therapy of the upper limbs of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Such passive devices ...

Effect of links’ center of gravity position on the performance of a four-bar linkage as an upper limb rehabilitation mechanism: A parametric study
(Springer Verlag, 2016)It has been shown that mechanisms based on closed kinematic chains, with integrated passive elements (springs) can generate motions that replicate the natural hand motion and therefore they can be potentially useful in ...

Identification of kinematic traits in 3D reaching Tasks with the use of a haptic Nine-Hole Peg-Board Test: Comparison between healthy people and people with Multiple Sclerosis
(Affiliation: Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box: 20537, Nicosia, CyprusAffiliation: Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of Cyprus, CyprusCorrespondence Address: Xydas, E. G.Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Department, University of Cyprus, P.O. Box: 20537, Nicosia, Cyprusemail: mep4ex01@ucy.ac.cy, 2008)Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a complex neurological disease that destroys the myelin sheath of the nerves, consequently affecting the motor control ability of the person in numerous ways. Rehabilitation of the upper limb ...

Injection molding of dilute and semi-dilute fiber suspensions
(Publ by ASME, 1992)The focus of this paper is unsteady flow of semi-dilute fiber suspensions in complex geometries. These flows are typical of injection molding problems in which the raw material in granular form, usually plastic resin mixed ...

Article
Minimally actuated four-bar linkages for upper limb rehabilitation
(2018)In the previous years the scientific community dealt extensively with designing, developing and testing robot-based rehabilitation systems. Besides the benefits that resulted for disabled people, this twenty-year endeavor ...

Unsteady flow of semi-concentrated suspensions using finite deformation tensors
(1994)The interest in the theoretical investigation of the flow behavior of fiber suspensions during manufacturing processes has increased considerably due to the increased interest in the use of composite materials. The unsteady ...
