OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) on upper limb motor control and activity function in poststroke patients compared with that of non-robotic therapy.
BACKGROUND: Combining robotic therapy (RT) with task-oriented therapy is an emerging strategy to facilitate motor relearning in stroke rehabilitation. This study protocol will compare novel rehabilitation regimens that use bilateral RT as a priming t...
BACKGROUND: Impairments in upper limb motor function and cognitive ability are major health problems experienced by stroke patients, necessitating the development of novel and effective treatment options in stroke care. The aim of this study is to ex...

I was encouraged by the recent article by Kuo et al. entitled "Prediction of robotic neurorehabilitation functional ambulatory outcome in patients with neurological disorders" to write an opinion piece on the possible further development of stationar...
BACKGROUND: Dental prostheses, which aim to replace missing teeth and to restore patients' appearance and oral functions, should be biomimetic and thus adopt the occlusal morphology and three-dimensional (3D) position of healthy natural teeth. Since ...
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmia diseases. Thromboembolic prophylaxis plays an essential role in AF therapy, but at present, general practitioners (GPs) are presumed to lack the knowledge and enthusias...
