Increase and Decrease in Velocity and Force During Exercise with a Hybrid Robotic-FES Rehabilitation System.

Early rehabilitation is beneficial for stroke patients, but it is often delayed since the patients are often bedbound due to their general condition. New robotic rehabilitation devices such as ROBERT® enable patients to exercise even while bedbound. During pilot testing of an automated FES-delivery system combined with ROBERT®, we observed both increased and decreased exerted velocity and interact...

[Research advances on functional training robots in burn rehabilitation].

Patients with deep burns are prone to suffer cicatrix hyperplasia or contracture, leading to problems including dysfunction in limbs, which impacts patients' life quality and makes it difficult for them to return to society. Thereby, the rehabilitation treatment after deep burns is particularly important. Currently, exercise therapy plays an important role in burn rehabilitation, which is mainly b...
