2010 AUG 18 - (<http://www.newsrx.com> NewsRx.com) -- Research findings, 'Universal haptic drive: a robot for arm and wrist rehabilitation,' are discussed in a new report (see also <http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Neural-Systems-and-Rehabilitation-Engineering.html> Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering). "In this paper we present a universal haptic drive (UHD), a device that enables rehabilitation of either arm ('ARM' mode) or wrist ('WRIST' mode) movement in two degrees-of-freedom. The mode of training depends on the selected mechanical configuration, which depends on locking/unlocking of a passive universal joint," scientists in Ljubljana, Slovenia report.
