The efficacy of hybrid neuroprostheses in the rehabilitation of upper limb impairment after stroke, a narrative and systematic review with a meta-analysis.

Artificial organs
BACKGROUND: Paresis of the upper limb (UL) is the most frequent impairment after a stroke. Hybrid neuroprostheses, i.e., the combination of robots and electrical stimulation, have emerged as an option to treat these impairments.

Technological Advances in Stroke Rehabilitation: Robotics and Virtual Reality.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
Robotic technology and virtual reality (VR) have been widely studied technologies in stroke rehabilitation over the last few decades. Both technologies have typically been considered as ways to enhance recovery through promoting intensive, repetitive...

A single-center retrospective comparative analysis of urinary continence in robotic prostatectomy with a combination of umbilical ligament preservation and Hood technique.

International journal of urology : official journal of the Japanese Urological Association
OBJECTIVES: Data available on the effect of the recently developed Hood technique and its modified iterations in robot-assisted radical prostatectomy on postoperative urinary continence are insufficient. We evaluated the time to achieve urinary conti...

Impact of modified bladder neck suspension on early recovery of continence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP).

Journal of robotic surgery
The incontinence after RARP significantly decreases the quality of life in prostate cancer patients. A number of techniques have been introduced for the recovery of continence after RARP. Although, the mechanism of the continence recovery is still un...

Impact of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome on Time to Complete Recovery of Continence After Robot-Assisted Radical Prostatectomy: A Propensity Score Matching Analysis.

Journal of endourology
Postoperative urinary incontinence after robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) represents a bothersome side effect, which may permanently affect patient's quality of life. Several studies have demonstrated that obstructive sleep apnea syndrome...

Performance-Based Robotic Training in Individuals with Subacute Stroke: Differences between Responders and Non-Responders.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The high variability of upper limb motor recovery with robotic training (RT) in subacute stroke underscores the need to explore differences in responses to RT. We explored differences in baseline characteristics and the RT dose between responders (ΔF...

New Artificial Intelligence-Integrated Electromyography-Driven Robot Hand for Upper Extremity Rehabilitation of Patients With Stroke: A Randomized, Controlled Trial.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: An artificial intelligence (AI)-integrated electromyography (EMG)-driven robot hand was devised for upper extremity (UE) rehabilitation. This robot detects patients' intentions to perform finger extension and flexion based on the EMG acti...

Simultaneous assessment and training of an upper-limb amputee using incremental machine-learning-based myocontrol: a single-case experimental design.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Machine-learning-based myocontrol of prosthetic devices suffers from a high rate of abandonment due to dissatisfaction with the training procedure and with the reliability of day-to-day control. Incremental myocontrol is a promising appro...

Treatment of the Paretic Hand with a Robotic Glove Combined with Physiotherapy in a Patient Suffering from Traumatic Tetraparesis: A Case Report.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: cervical spinal cord injury leads to loss of upper limb functionality, which causes a decrease in autonomy to perform activities of daily living. The use of robotic technologies in rehabilitation could contribute to improving upper limb f...
