Development of a Meal Support Device for Functional Recovery Using EMG Signals

Development of a Meal Support Device for Functional Recovery Using EMG Signals

This paper describes a device to support a patient's motion of their upper limbs. The device has three functions in a single system: power assistance, rehabilitation, and meal support. The former two functions have been described in a previous study. In this paper, designs and evaluations of th...
