Robotic assessment of the hand in children with cerebral palsy ETH Zurich Rehabilitation Engineering Lab ETH MIKE is a robotic device for sensorimotor assessment of hand function in patients with neurological disorders. So far, the device has been used to assess adults after stroke or persons with multiple sclerosis. This project will focus on a new target population, namely children with cerebral pals Applied Statistics, Computer Software, Intelligent Robotics, Rehabilitation and Therapy: Occupational and Physical, Rehabilitation Engineering, Robotics and Mechatronics Bachelor Thesis, Internship, Master Thesis, Semester Project

Concurrent validity of robotic assessment for hand sensorimotor function in stroke patients ETH Zurich Rehabilitation Engineering Lab ETH MIKE is a robotic device for somatosensory, motor and sensorimotor assessment of hand function in stroke patients, recently developed at Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory. Before the device can be used in a regular clinical practice, certain clinometric properties need to be established (i.e. reliability, validity, responsiveness). The aim of this project is to determine concurrent validity, i.e. whether the robotic outcome measures are capable of detecting impairment, as defined by standard clinical measures (clinical and neurophysiological assessments).

Graphical user interface of a robotic device for hand sensorimotor assessment after stroke ETH Zurich Rehabilitation Engineering Lab ETH MIKE is a robotic device for somatosensory, motor and sensorimotor assessment of hand function in stroke patients, developed at Rehabilitation Engineering Laboratory. The aim of the project is to improve the graphical user interface of the robot, so that it can be used regularly and independently by patients and doctors. The software is developed in Unity and the hardware in LabVIEW. Intelligent Robotics, Sensory Systems, Software Engineering Bachelor Thesis, Internship, Semester Project
