Preliminary Evaluation of a Tongue-Operated Exoskeleton for Post-Stroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation

To obtain data from able-bodied participants to evaluate the performance and functionality of the new Tongue-Operated Exoskeleton system, which translate the tongue gestures to control commands initiated by the user to train the upper limbs. We have developed a novel robotic upper limbs rehabilitation system by combining a wireless and wearable assistive technology, called the Tongue Drive System (TDS) with an exoskeleton robot, called the KINARMTM (KA).
