C. Research Support
Optimal haptic controls using a configurable haptic interface
The purpose of this project is to examine the use of novel haptic interfaces in automotive control applications. A "super knob" with changeable haptic (feel) properties will be tested as a substitute for a car's secondary controls. The super knob will be tested on the STISIM Drive driving simulator using non-disabled human subjects. (Ongoing)
Virtual environments for product prototyping
The purpose of this project is to examine multi-sensory virtual environments for product prototyping. Single degree-of-freedom panel interfaces are emulated using virtual visual, audio and haptic displays. Psychophysical experiments are conducted to determine how the senses integrate to provide a sense of presence in the virtual environment. Additional experiments compare design decisions made in the virtual environment to those made in a real environment (Ongoing)
Modeling of electrically stimulated muscle
The purpose of this project is to model the mechanical response of muscle to electrical stimulation. The long range goal is to create improved methods for designing controllers for systems that restore function to paralyzed muscles through electrical stimulation. (Ongoing)
Doublet response of electrically stimulated muscle
Muscles stimulated with doublet responses take longer to fatigue under artificial stimulation. The purpose of this project is to understand the complete mechanical responses of muscle to doublet stimulation and to develop novel stimulation patterns that optimize fatigue properties. (Ongoing)
Hybrid system for FES-aided gait restoration
In this project, we explored the use of a custom orthosis, the controlled-brake orthosis, in combination with electrical stimulation, to create a system to restore gait. The hybrid system allows better control over the swing phase of gait and enables subjects with spinal cord injury to walk further before fatigue. (Completed)
Functional assessment using tele-rehabilitation technology
In this project, we are developing new tele-rehabilitation technology for doing assessment at a distance. Standard PT and OT assessment tools are implemented so that an assessment session can be conducted at a distance. Experiments are conducted to compare tele-assessment with traditional face-to-face assessment. This project is in collaboration with Sister Kenny Rehabilitation Services.
