Does frequent use of an exoskeletal upper limb robot improve motor function in stroke patients?

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: To determine how differences in frequency of the single-joint hybrid assistive limb (HAL-SJ) use affect the improvement of upper limb motor function and activities of daily living (ADL) in stroke patients.

Bimanual motor skill learning with robotics in chronic stroke: comparison between minimally impaired and moderately impaired patients, and healthy individuals.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Most activities of daily life (ADL) require cooperative bimanual movements. A unilateral stroke may severely impair bimanual ADL. How patients with stroke (re)learn to coordinate their upper limbs (ULs) is largely unknown. The objectives ...

Corticomuscular integrated representation of voluntary motor effort in robotic control for wrist-hand rehabilitation after stroke.

Journal of neural engineering
The central-to-peripheral voluntary motor effort (VME) in the affected limb is a dominant force for driving the functional neuroplasticity on motor restoration post-stroke. However, current rehabilitation robots isolated the central and peripheral in...

Impact of the robotic-assistance level on upper extremity function in stroke patients receiving adjunct robotic rehabilitation: sub-analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic therapy has been demonstrated to be effective in treating upper extremity (UE) paresis in stroke survivors. However, it remains unclear whether the level of assistance provided by robotics in UE training could affect the improveme...

Robot-Assisted Therapy Combined with Trunk Restraint in Acute Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: Reducing the compensatory mechanism by restraining unnecessary trunk movements may help enhance the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy.

A Hybrid Arm-Hand Rehabilitation Robot With EMG-Based Admittance Controller.

IEEE transactions on biomedical circuits and systems
Reach-and-grasp is one of the most fundamental activities in daily life, while few rehabilitation robots provide integrated and active training of the arm and hand for patients after stroke to improve their mobility. In this study, a novel hybrid arm...

The diagnostic levels of evidence of instrumented devices for measuring viscoelastic joint properties and spasticity; a systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Many diagnostic robotic devices have been developed to quantify viscoelastic properties and spasticity of patients with upper motor neuron lesions. However, in clinical practice, subjective and nonvalid clinical scales are still commonly ...

Brain Network Organization Following Post-Stroke Neurorehabilitation.

International journal of neural systems
Brain network analysis can offer useful information to guide the rehabilitation of post-stroke patients. We applied functional network connection models based on multiplex-multilayer network analysis (MMN) to explore functional network connectivity c...

Is robot-assisted gait training intensity a determinant of functional recovery early after stroke? A pragmatic observational study of clinical care.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Gait rehabilitation is a critical factor in functional recovery after a stroke. The aim of this pragmatic observational study was to identify the optimal dose and timing of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) that can lead to a favourable outcome in ...

Effects of the Robot-Assisted Gait Training Device Plus Physiotherapy in Improving Ambulatory Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke With Hemiplegia: An Assessor-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of the robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) device plus physiotherapy vs physiotherapy alone in improving ambulatory functions in patients with subacute stroke with hemiplegia.
