Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) signals have great impact on the development of assistive rehabilitation devices. These signals are used as a popular tool to investigate the functions and the behavior of the human motion in recent research. The study of EEG-based control of assistive devices is still in early stages. Although the EEG-based control of assistive devices has attracted a considerable level of attention over the last few years, few studies have been carried out to systematically review these studies, as a means of offering researchers and experts a comprehensive summary of the present, state-of-the-art EEG-based control techniques used for assistive technology. Therefore, this research has three main goals. The first aim is to systematically gather, summarize, evaluate and synthesize information regarding the accuracy and the value of previous research published in the literature between 2011 and 2018. The second goal is to extensively report on the holistic, experimental outcomes of this domain in relation to current research. It is systematically performed to provide a wealthy image and grounded evidence of the current state of research covering EEG-based control for assistive rehabilitation devices to all the experts and scientists. The third goal is to recognize the gap of knowledge that demands further investigation and to recommend directions for future research in this area.

Highlights

  • The aging population is considered a worldwide problem as the physical disabilities and weaknesses in elderly people have become a social problem in many countries [1]

Summary

Introduction

The aging population is considered a worldwide problem as the physical disabilities and weaknesses in elderly people have become a social problem in many countries [1]. A research from the United Nations demonstrates that citizens aged 60 and above formed almost 11.5% of the global population in 2012, and this number is estimated to increase by 22% in 2050. Neuromuscular diseases such as stroke, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis and weaknesses of the skeletal muscles seriously affect the day to day activities of senior citizens and patients. The. Robotics first group isRobotic human efficiency can enhancement exoskeletons thatcategories aim to maximize durability, exoskeletons be categorized into three wide according the to their purpose.stamina, and other abilities byefficiency able-bodied persons. The second wide category involves assistive sites, in urgent relief functions, or military bases and adventure activities. The second wide category devicesinvolves for people with movement disorders due to stroke, spinal cord injury and muscle weakness
