Brief Summary

Our study goal is to assess natural patient-therapist interactions in order to map such human-human activities to robot-human interactions. Critical to accomplishing this mapping will be determining the feasibility of a humanoid robot interacting with a patient in a more intuitive and flexible way, while concomitantly investigating the issue of safe contact and release.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Patient-Therapist Interaction Mapping

  Using the data collected during the subject's visit to the Rehabilitation Robotics Lab, computer-based models of the therapist and the patient will be devised. These models may be used in future studies with a robot Video collection of patient-therapists in real settings.

  1 session, about 2 hours in length

Study Arms (1)

Stroke survivors and healthy subjects

EXPERIMENTAL

Stroke survivors greater than 18 years of age with hemiplegia and varying levels of impairment as well as healthy subjects greater than 18 years old with no motor disabilities will be asked to interact with a therapist. The Patient-Therapist interactions will be recorded using the Rehab Intercap System and 3D Kinect Device.

Device: Rehab InterCap system and 3D Kinect

Interventions

Rehab InterCap system and 3D Kinect DEVICE

The therapist will conduct a therapy session which will consist of various activities of daily living. During the session, the motion of the therapist and patients will be collected with a custom motion capture system (Rehab InterCap) and 3D visual mapping may take place using the Kinect device, audio will be recorded, and basic measurements of length (i.e. the distance from a participant's shoulder to elbow) will be taken. Patients and therapists will wear the sensors to capture their arm movements. 3D video motion capture may be completed with some subjects. This will involve subjects wearing reflective markers on their upper arms in addition to the intercap sensors.
