“…The assessments that focused on ADLs and IADLs showed that users are able to successfully accomplish a variety of tasks with a robotic arm (Bach, Zeelenberg, & Winter, 1990; Chaves, Koontz, Garber, Cooper, & Williams, 2003; Clark, 2013; Gelderblom et al, 2001; Hammel, Van der Loos, & Perkash, 1992; Jardón, Gil, De La Peña, Monje, & Balaguer, 2011; Jardón, Monje, & Balaguer, 2012; Kim et al, 2012; Kwee, Quaedackers, Van de Bool, Theeuwen, & Speth, 1999; Maheu, Archambault, Frappier, & Routhier, 2011; Mahoney, 2001; Routhier & Archambault, 2010; Van der Loos et al, 1990; Wakita et al, 2013; Wakita, Yoon, & Yamanobe, 2012; Wang et al, 2013). For example, the use of a robotic arm allowed users to drink (Jardón et al, 2012; Wakita et al, 2013), to eat (Wakita et al, 2013), and to brush their teeth (Jardón et al, 2012). Therefore, many authors concluded that robotic arms have the potential to increase users’ independence (Chaves et al, 2003; Clark, 2013; Gelderblom et al, 2001; Hammel et al, 1989; Jardón et al, 2011, 2012; Seamone & Schmeisser, 1985; Topping & Smith, 1999).…”

“…It was estimated that the average time per day spent on ADLs and IADLs could be reduced by 1.31 hr (Maheu et al, 2011) to 3 hr (Bach et al, 1990). Concerning users’ satisfaction, results of the included studies showed that modifications or improvements in existing robotic arms are needed to better meet their users’ needs (Bach et al, 1990; Busnel et al, 1999; Cammoun, Detriche, Lauture, & Lesigne, 1993; Clark, 2013; Grigorescu, Lüth, Fragkopoulos, Cyriacks, & Gräser, 2012; Hall, Glass, Hammel, Leifer, & Perkash, 1987; Hammel et al, 1989, 1992; Hillman, 1987; Jardón et al, 2011, 2012; Kim et al, 2010, 2012; Kwee et al, 1983, 1999; Kwee, Quaedackers, Van De Bool, Theeuwen, & Speth, 2002; Seamone & Schmeisser, 1985; Topping & Smith, 1999; Wakita et al, 2013; Wang et al, 2013). For example, in a study evaluating the ASIBOT robot, participants suggested several changes to make it more useful, such as reducing its size, incorporating a voice recognition system, adding tasks, and improving safety conditions (Jardón et al, 2011).…”

Background. Robotic arms may help users perform various activities. Even though robotic arms are commercially available, their impacts are still poorly understood. Purpose. This scoping review aimed to identify the potential impacts of using robotic arms for individuals with upper-extremity disabilities and appraise the scientific quality of the selected studies. Method. A search for studies published between 1970 and 2016 was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Compendex, and Scopus. The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement was used to classify activities in which impacts were evaluated. The quality of each study was rated using McMaster University's critical review form for quantitative studies. Findings. Thirty-six studies were reviewed, which evaluated self-care (21), productivity (33), and leisure (8). The short-term impacts were more commonly documented than long-term impacts. The impacts identified were mostly positive. The studies' mean quality score was 8.8/15. Implications. Additional studies with more rigorous conditions are needed to produce higher-quality scientific evidence of the long-term impacts of robotic arm use. Abré gé Description. Les bras robotisés peuvent aider les utilisateurs à réaliser diverses activités. Bien que les bras robotisés soient disponibles sur le marché, leurs impacts sont encore peu connus. But. Cet examen de la portée avait pour but d'identifier les impacts potentiels de l'utilisation de bras robotisés auprès des personnes ayant des incapacités aux membres supérieurs et d'évaluer la qualité scientifique des études sélectionnées. Mé thodologie. Une recherche a été effectuée en vue de repérer des études publiées entre 1970 et 2016 dans PubMed, Embase, Compendex et Scopus. Le Modèle canadien du rendement et de l'engagement occupationnels a été utilisé pour classer les activités dans lesquelles des impacts étaient évalués. La qualité de chaque étude a été déterminée à l'aide du formulaire d'évaluation critique des études quantitatives de la McMaster University. Ré sultats. Trente-six études évaluant les soins personnels (21), la productivité (33) et les loisirs (8) ont été examinées. Les impacts à court terme étaient documentés plus souvent que les impacts à long terme. Dans l'ensemble, les impacts identifiés étaient positifs. La moyenne des scores de qualité des études était de 8,8/15. Consé quences. Davantage d'études devront être menées dans des conditions plus rigoureuses afin de produire des données probantes de plus grande qualité sur les impacts à long terme de l'utilisation de bras robotisés.

“…Contrary to our results, previous researches suggest that the use of a robotic arm indeed increases independence and decreases human assistance needed. 37,38 Römer et al 37 reported that iARM users performed 40% more tasks by themselves and needed 30% less human assistance than nonusers with similar disabilities. A similar decrease in human assistance was observed in a 1-year prospective study with new users.…”

“…31 Comparable results were obtained with iARM users. 37,38 This overview shows that research is still limited on the impacts of robotic arms in improving independent living and social participation of individuals with upper-limb disabilities, and several knowledge gaps remain. First, given the versatility of robotic arms, it is expected that their benefits will evolve over a period of several weeks, so that the participants can have the needed time to familiarize themselves with the device, learn to use it, and adopt it.…”

Impacts of a Robotic Arm on People with Upper-Limb Disabilities Due to Neuromuscular Disorder

Introduction:Research is still limited on the impacts of robotic arms in improving independent living and social participation of individuals with upper-limb disabilities, and several knowledge gaps remain. This study aims to investigate the impacts of the JACO robotic arm on individuals with upper-limb impairments due to a neuromuscular disease. Methods: For this prospective study, participants used the robotic arm in their daily life for a 2-month period. The effectiveness of the robotic arm was objectively observed during activities performed in a controlled environment. The perception of the users and of their main family caregivers was also documented. Finally, the nature and importance of activities carried out with the robotic arm in a community-living environment were explored. Results: Participants' abilities with the JACO robotic arm improved continuously during the trial duration. Participants actively took part in more life habits, perceived fewer difficulties, and were more satisfied with their social participation. Despite these findings, very few life habits could be performed completely independently, limiting the impacts on global caregivers' burden. Conclusions: Even if participants encountered some difficulties, this study demonstrates short-term benefits of the robotic arm for individuals with upper-limb impairments due to a neuromuscular disorder. Future studies should mainly focus on the psychosocial, economic, and occupational long-term impacts of the robotic arm. The development of services to assist the integration of such devices in people's lives could optimize their impacts. Clinical Relevance: The results of this study contribute to the body of knowledge of clinicians for the prescription of a robotic arm. (

The benefit of service robot includes many aspects, for example, to the elderly or handicapped people, to the caregivers and to the facilities for the facilities. In this paper, we focus on the description of benefits for the elderly or handicapped people. However there are still various aspects as the benefit as "what kind of function the robot can provide," "who can use / who should not use the robot," "when and where the robot can work." In order to achieve such description, we propose to use the international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF) approved by the WHO. It is utilized for the evaluation of robotic arms for upper-limb disability, and the design of new tele-operation system for lower limb disabilities with projection function.
