BACKGROUND: Hand dysfunction significantly affects independence after stroke, with outcomes varying across individuals. Exploring biomarkers associated with the paretic hand can improve the prognosis and guide personalized rehabilitation. However, wh...
BACKGROUND: The majority of individuals with chronic stroke have residual upper extremity (UE) disability which they cite as their greatest barrier to recovery. Using orthoses, robotic devices, and functional electrical stimulation (FES) represent re...
Upper limb training dose after stroke is usually quantified by time and repetitions. This study analyzed upper limb motor training dose in stroke participants (N = 36) using a more comprehensive approach. Participants, classified by initial motor sev...

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective method for treating gait disorders in individuals with stroke. However, no previous studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of RAGT in individuals with acute stroke. This study aimed...
Upper-limb paresis is one of the main complications after stroke. It is commonly associated with impaired wrist-extension function. Upper-limb paresis can place a tremendous burden on stroke survivors and their families. A novel soft-actuator device,...
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional recovery after stroke is often limited, despite various treatment methods such as robot-assisted therapy. Repetitive sensory stimulation (RSS) might be a promising add-on therapy that is thought to directly drive pl...
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...
