Specifically, a tongue operated assistive technology is called the Tongue Drive System is used to control rehabilitation robot such as wrist based exoskeleton Hand Mentor ProTM and upper limb based exoskeleton KINARMTM as shown in Figure 1. In addition to standard clinical outcome measures such as active\/passive range of motion, Fugl-Meyer Assessment, Wolf-Motor Function Test, Stroke Impact Scale, we have obtained measurable kinematic result from robots as well as electrical activities of brain and relevant muscles from EEG and EMG respectively.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Development And Evaluation Of Tongue Operated Robotic Rehabilitation Paradigm For Stroke Survivors With Upper Limb Paralysis"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2019-02-14 22:02:57","changed_gmt":"2019-02-14 22:02:57","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2019-02-21T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2019-02-21T15:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2019-02-21T15:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2019-02-21 18:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2019-02-21 20:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2019-02-21 20:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
