BACKGROUND: Add-on robot-mediated therapy has proven to be more effective than conventional therapy alone in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Such robot-mediated interventions routinely use also visual biofeedback tools. A better understanding of bio...
BACKGROUND: Health information systems have developed rapidly and considerably during the last decades, taking advantage of many new technologies. Robots used in operating theaters represent an exceptional example of this trend. Yet, the more these s...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Jul 22, 2019
BACKGROUND: More than 70% of elderly people age 80 and older are experiencing problems in personal mobility. Assistive robotics can represent a concrete support providing also a support for caregivers, clinicians and nurses by reducing their burden.
BACKGROUND: Few investigations to date assessing the effectiveness of robot-assisted intersphincteric resection (ISR) have included sufficient patients and follow-up period. This study assessed the utility and safety of robot-assisted ISR by comparin...
Human-administered clinical scales are commonly used for quantifying motor performance and determining the course of therapy in post-stroke individuals. Computerized methods aim to improve consistency, resolution and duration of patients' evaluation....

The conservative transoral approach to hilo-parenchymal submandibular stones has been proposed as an alternative to traditional sialadenectomy. The main purpose is to preserve the gland and eliminate the risk of a cervical scar and damage to the marg...
A diversity of self-propelled chemical motors, based on Marangoni propulsive forces, has been developed in recent years. However, most motors are non-functional due to poor performance, a lack of control, and the use of toxic materials. To overcome t...
