Effects and neural mechanisms of a brain-computer interface-controlled soft robotic glove on upper limb function in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled fNIRS study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The brain-computer interface-based soft robotic glove (BCI-SRG) holds promise for upper limb rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients, yet its efficacy and neural mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the t...

Neuroimaging and biological markers of different paretic hand outcomes after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
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...

How Can Robotic Devices Help Clinicians Determine the Treatment Dose for Post-Stroke Arm Paresis?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training within 1 week after stroke onset on degree of gait independence in individuals with hemiparesis: a propensity score-matched analysis in a single-center cohort study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
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...

Novel Robotic Balloon-Based Device for Wrist-Extension Therapy of Hemiparesis Stroke Patients.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
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,...

Augmented Effect of Combined Robotic Assisted Gait Training and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-irradiation Technique on Muscle Activation and Ankle Kinematics in Hemiparetic Gait: A Preliminary Study.

NeuroRehabilitation
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...

Telerehabilitation using a 2-D planar arm rehabilitation robot for hemiparetic stroke: a feasibility study of clinic-to-home exergaming therapy.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the feasibility, safety, and efficacy of a 2D-planar robot for minimally supervised home-based upper-limb therapy for post-stroke hemiparesis.

Sensory Stimulation and Robot-Assisted Arm Training After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of neurologic physical therapy : JNPT
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...

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...
