Clinician perceptions of a novel wearable robotic hand orthosis for post-stroke hemiparesis.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Wearable robotic devices are currently being developed to improve upper limb function for individuals with hemiparesis after stroke. Incorporating the views of clinicians during the development of new technologies can help ensure that end pr...

Factors influencing the use of an artificial intelligence-based app (selfBACK) for tailored self-management support among adults with neck and/or low back pain.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Tailored self-management support is recommended as first-line treatment for neck and low back pain, for which mHealth applications could be promising. However, there is limited knowledge about factors influencing the engagement with such app...

Robotic assisted and exoskeleton gait training effect in mental health and fatigue of multiple sclerosis patients. A systematic review and a meta-analysis.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Robotic and Exoskeleton Assisted Gait Training (REAGT) has become the mainstream gait training module. Studies are investigating the psychosocial effects of REAGT mostly as secondary outcomes. Our systematic review and meta-analysis aims to ...

The role of robot-assisted training on rehabilitation outcomes in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: The study aims to assess the efficacy of robot-assisted rehabilitation training on upper and lower limb motor function and fatigue in Parkinson's disease (PD), and to explore the best-acting robotic rehabilitation program.

Development of an ontology to characterize mental functioning.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE OF THE ARTICLE: This article describes a conceptual and methodological approach to integrating functional information into an ontology to categorize mental functioning, which to date is an under-developed area of classification, and supports ...

Robotic locomotor training in a low-resource setting: a randomized pilot and feasibility trial.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: Activity-based Training (ABT) represents the current standard of neurological rehabilitation. Robotic Locomotor Training (RLT), an innovative technique, aims to enhance rehabilitation outcomes. This study aimed to conduct a randomized pilot ...

Does frequent use of an exoskeletal upper limb robot improve motor function in stroke patients?

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: To determine how differences in frequency of the single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) use affect the improvement of upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients.

The use of robots for augmentative manipulation during play activities among children with motor impairment: a scoping review.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: To describe the extent, type, and quality of studies involving robots for augmentative manipulation during play by children with severe motor impairments (CwSMI), and to explore how they influenced children's cognitive skills and engagement.

The sustainability of upper limb robotic therapy for stroke survivors in an inpatient rehabilitation setting.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: To investigate the sustainability of Robot-assisted upper limb therapy (RT-UL) as part of routine occupational therapy and physiotherapy clinical practice.

A Tenodesis-Induced-Grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) for assisting upper extremity functions in stroke patients: a randomized control study.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: This study was aimed toward developing a lightweight assisting tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and to examine the performance of the TIGER in stroke patients with hemiplegia.
