Sensing of displacement using only inertial measurement devices (IMDs) such as rate gyros and accelerometers is an active research topic with many diverse applications in biomechanics, human motion, earthquake engineering, robotics and mixed reality interfaces.
We are developing an innovative approach to the control of robotic-assisted rehabilitation and other assistive devices.
We are interested in the effect of feedback on the rate and extent of motor skill learning and adaptation. Our intent is to apply the results of our investigations to the design of a more effective strategy for the rehabilitation of recovering stroke patients.
