OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of combining botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) injection with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on lower limb spasticity and motor function in children with cerebral palsy.
INTRODUCTION: About 17-80% stroke survivors experience the deficit of upper limb function, which strongly influences their independence and quality of life. Robot-assisted training and functional electrical stimulation are commonly used interventions...

BACKGROUND: Intensive task-oriented training has shown promise in enhancing distal motor function among patients with chronic stroke. A personalized electromyography (EMG)-driven soft robotic hand was developed to assist task-oriented object-manipula...
INTRODUCTION: Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (ECR) has proven to be effective and cost-effective dominant treatment option in health care. However, the contribution of well-known risk factors for prognosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) to p...
Trunk compensatory movements frequently manifest during robotic-assisted arm reaching exercises for upper limb rehabilitation following a stroke, potentially impeding functional recovery. These aberrant movements are prevalent among stroke survivors ...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is promising to help walking rehabilitation in cerebral palsy, but training-induced neuroplastic effects have little been investigated.
