Quantitative and Qualitative Evaluation of Exoskeleton Transparency Controllers for Upper-Limb Neurorehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
High transparency is a fundamental requirement for upper-limb exoskeletons to promote active patient participation. Although various control strategies have been suggested to improve the transparency of these robots, there are still some limitations,...

NeBULA: A Standardized Protocol for the Benchmarking of Robotic-based Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The use of robotic technologies in neurorehabilitation is growing, because they allow highly repeatable exercise protocols and patient-tailored therapies. However, there is a lack of objective methods for assessing these technologies, which makes it ...

Testing robot-based assist-as-needed therapy for improving active participation of a patient during early neurorehabilitation: a case study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this study, a patient in the Intensive Care-Unit received robot-based mobilization therapy with an assist-as-needed (AAN) function over the course of three weeks. Therapists were able to adapt the hip range of motion $\beta$, the bed verticalizati...

Mirror-Based Robotic Therapy for Ankle Recovery with a Serious Game: A Case Study with a Neurological Patient.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Neuromuscular disorders, such as foot drop, severely affect the locomotor function and walking independence after a brain injury event. Mirror-based robotic therapy (MRT) has been a promising rehabilitation strategy favouring upper limb muscle streng...

Chances and Risks of Using Robotic Assistance Systems in Early Neurological Rehabilitation: A Qualitative Analysis.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Robotic assistance systems offer new therapeutic perspectives for patient mobilization. This work aims to investigate the chances and risks of robotic assistance systems in early neurological rehabilitation. Nine professionals working in physiotherap...

Reference theories and future perspectives on robot-assisted rehabilitation in people with neurological conditions: A scoping review and recommendations from the Italian Consensus Conference on Robotics in Neurorehabilitation (CICERONE).

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-based treatments are developing in neurorehabilitation settings. Recently, the Italian National Health Systems recognized robot-based rehabilitation as a refundable service. Thus, the Italian neurorehabilitation community promoted a...

Innovation technology in neurorehabilitation: introducing a hub and spoke model to avoid patient "migration" in Sicily.

Journal of health organization and management
PURPOSE: In the Italian National Health Service, hospital planning has been influenced by two aspects: patients' freedom to choose their healthcare provider and the equal distribution of centers spread throughout country. Unfortunately, while every I...
