Introduction -- Literature Review -- Physiological Model of the Masticatory System -- Modelling Human Shoulder and Elbow -- Upper Limb Exoskeleton Development -- Motion and Interactive Control for Upper Limb Exoskeleton -- Kinematic and Computational Model of Human Ankle. �.

Focussing on the key technologies in developing robots for a wide range of medical rehabilitation activities � which will include robotics basics, modelling and control, biomechanics modelling, rehabilitation strategies, robot assistance, clinical setup/implementation as well as neural and muscular interfaces for rehabilitation robot control � this book is split into two parts; a review of the current state of the art, and recent advances in robotics for medical rehabilitation. Both parts will include five sections for the five key areas in rehabilitation robotics: (i) the upper limb; (ii) lower limb for gait rehabilitation (iii) hand, finger and wrist; (iv) ankle for strains and sprains; and (v) the use of EEG and EMG to create interfaces between the neurological and muscular functions of the patients and the rehabilitation robots. Each chapter provides a description of the design of the device, the control system used, and the implementation and testing to show how it fulfils the needs of that specific area of rehabilitation.� The book will detail new devices, some of which have never been published before in any journal or conference.
