Industrial-grade collaborative robots for motor rehabilitation after stroke and spinal cord injury: a systematic narrative review.

Journal: Biomedical engineering online
PMID: 40301894

Abstract

BACKGROUND: There is a growing interest in exploring industrial-grade collaborative robots (cobots) for rehabilitation. This review explores their application for motor rehabilitation of the upper and lower extremities after a stroke and spinal cord injury (SCI). The article highlights the inherent safety features of cobots, emphasizing their design advantages over custom-built or traditional rehabilitation robots in terms of potential safety and time efficiency.
