We also observed stroke patients to look into analyzing for additional parameters as well as looking into limitations of our design. The picture of the left is the stroke patient attempting to voluntarily move their arm without stimulation and some support, their arm isn’t moving too much. The picture of the right shows them attempting […]

Due to MATLAB’s lack of multithreading capability, the two laptops must be synced in time such that all signals are initiated, elongated, and terminated at the same. An instance of this is shown in the plot below. The yaw angle is shown in orange and the customized stimulation ramp in blue. The characteristics of arm […]

With a change in design comes a change in methods. The following flowchart illustrates the new methodology. Figure showing new design methods.

Since, our last update, we have decided on a new design. Our design is now using two laptops rather than one. Our attempt at parallel processing has been unsuccessful, since Simulink doesn’t allow for any parallel processing even using Python. The two laptops are used as follows: 1) to work with Simulink, handling stimulation connected […]

We are working on incorporating two sensors to our design. The reason we need to do this is because we need one sensor to detect the initial movement of the subject’s shoulder and the second sensor is used to detect the movement of the forearm attempting to perform the reaching movement. Using our IMU sensors […]
