There is a great need to develop new approaches for rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke. Robotic therapy is a promising form of neurorehabilitation that can be delivered in higher doses than conventional therapy. Here we sought to determine whether the reported effects of robotic therapy, which have been based on clinical measures of impairment and function, are accompanied by improved m...
BACKGROUND: At present there is no agreement on a common evaluation protocol to assess improvement in stroke patients after robotic therapy.
BACKGROUND: Stroke significantly affects thousands of individuals annually, leading to considerable physical impairment and functional disability. Gai...
Active participation and the highest level of independence during daily living are primary goals in neurorehabilitation. Therefore, standing and walki...
Robotic assistance is increasingly used in neurological rehabilitation for enhanced training. Furthermore, therapy robots have the potential for accur...
Our long-term goal is to enable a robot to engage in partner dance for use in rehabilitation therapy, assessment, diagnosis, and scientific investigat...
Many stroke patients are expected to rehabilitate at home, which limits their access to proper rehabilitation equipment, treatment, or assessment by t...
Ankle rehabilitation robots are developed to enhance ankle strength, flexibility and proprioception after injury and to promote motor learning and ank...
Autonomous poststroke rehabilitation systems which can be deployed outside hospital with no or reduced supervision have attracted increasing amount of...
BACKGROUND: While constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT) is one of the most promising techniques for upper limb rehabilitation after stroke, it re...
A novel system for the neuro-motor rehabilitation of upper limbs was validated in three sub-acute post-stroke patients. The system permits synchronize...
The paper proposes a novel method for an accurate and unobtrusive reconstruction of the upper-limb kinematics of stroke patients during robot-aided re...
This paper presents a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven hand exoskeleton for bilateral rehabilitation of grasping in stroke. The developed hand exos...
A 1-DoF robot is designed and fabricated to be used for knee rehabilitation training. The mechanism (robot) is designed to perform specific set of exe...
BACKGROUND: The compact Motorized orthosis for home rehabilitation of Gait (MoreGait) was developed for continuation of locomotion training at home. M...
BACKGROUND: Geographical location, socioeconomic status, and logistics surrounding transportation impede access of poststroke individuals to comprehen...
Vascular dementia (VaD) is a general term describing problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, memory, and other thought processes caused by brain ...
This paper presents the pediAnklebot, an impedance-controlled low-friction, backdriveable robotic device developed at the Massachusetts Institute of T...
This pioneering observational study explored the interaction between subacute stroke inpatients and a rehabilitation robot during upper limb training....
Regaining one's ability to walk is of great importance for neurological patients and is a major goal of all rehabilitation programs. Gait training of ...
