A randomized controlled trial on the effects induced by robot-assisted and usual-care rehabilitation on upper limb muscle synergies in post-stroke subjects.

Scientific reports
Muscle synergies are hypothesized to reflect connections among motoneurons in the spinal cord activated by central commands and sensory feedback. Robotic rehabilitation of upper limb in post-stroke subjects has shown promising results in terms of imp...

Motor Recovery: How Rehabilitation Techniques and Technologies Can Enhance Recovery and Neuroplasticity.

Seminars in neurology
There are now a large number of technological and methodological approaches to the rehabilitation of motor function after stroke. It is important to employ these approaches in a manner that is tailored to specific patient impairments and desired func...

Robot-Based Assessment of HIV-Related Motor and Cognitive Impairment for Neurorehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
There is a pressing need for strategies to slow or treat the progression of functional decline in people living with HIV. This paper explores a novel rehabilitation robotics approach to measuring cognitive and motor impairment in adults living with H...

A Randomised Controlled Trial to Assess the Benefit of Posterior Rhabdosphincter Reconstruction in Early Urinary Continence Recovery after Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

European urology oncology
Posterior rhabdosphincter reconstruction (PRR) has been proposed to improve early urinary continence (UC) recovery after radical prostatectomy (RP). In order to generate level 1b evidence, we designed a double-blind randomised controlled trial powere...

A usability study in patients with stroke using MERLIN, a robotic system based on serious games for upper limb rehabilitation in the home setting.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neuroscience and neurotechnology are transforming stroke rehabilitation. Robotic devices, in addition to telerehabilitation, are increasingly being used to train the upper limbs after stroke, and their use at home allows us to extend inst...

Robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function after stroke: Development of prediction models for reference to therapy.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
BACKGROUND: Recovery of hand function after stroke represents the hardest target for clinicians. Robot-assisted therapy has been proved to be effective for hand recovery. Nevertheless, studies aimed to refer patients to the best therapy are missing.

Automation of training and testing motor and related tasks in pre-clinical behavioural and rehabilitative neuroscience.

Experimental neurology
Testing and training animals in motor and related tasks is a cornerstone of pre-clinical behavioural and rehabilitative neuroscience. Yet manually testing and training animals in these tasks is time consuming and analyses are often subjective. Conseq...

Immediate post-operative PDE5i therapy improves early erectile function outcomes after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Journal of robotic surgery
To assess whether the timing of post-operative Phosphodiesterase Inhibitor (PDE5i) therapy after Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy (RARP) is associated with a change in early erectile function (EF) outcomes, continence or safety outcomes. Data wer...
