PURPOSE: Recent innovations in robotics have enabled the development of automatic bone drilling tools which allows surgeons to improve the precision of their surgical operations. However, these tools still lack valuable tactile information about the ...
BACKGROUND: End-effector robots allow intensive gait training in stroke subjects and promote a successful rehabilitation. A comparison between conventional and end-effector Robot-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) in subacute stroke patients is needed.
BACKGROUND: The ROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of fo...
