Quantitative Evaluation System of Upper Limb Motor Function of Stroke Patients Based on Desktop Rehabilitation Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Rehabilitation training and movement evaluation after stroke have become a research hotspot as stroke has become a very common and harmful disease. However, traditional rehabilitation training and evaluation are mainly conducted under the guidance of...

The Effect of Robot-Mediated Virtual Reality Gaming on Upper Limb Spasticity Poststroke: A Randomized-Controlled Trial.

Games for health journal
Stroke is a common reason for motor disability and is often associated with spasticity and poor motor function of the upper limbs involved. Spasticity management is important to accelerate motor recovery. The objective of this study was to investiga...

Robot-assisted distal training improves upper limb dexterity and function after stroke: a systematic review and meta-regression.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, and more than half of stroke patients face distal upper extremity dysfunction. Considering that robot-assisted training may be effective in improving distal upper extremity function...

A Case Study of Upper Limb Robotic-Assisted Therapy Using the Track-Hold Device.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The Track-Hold System (THS) project, developed in a healthcare facility and therefore in a controlled and protected healthcare environment, contributes to the more general and broad context of Robotic-Assisted Therapy (RAT). RAT represents an advance...

Effects of Balance Exercise Assist Robot training for patients with hemiparetic stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted rehabilitation for patients with stroke is promising. However, it is unclear whether additional balance training using a balance-focused robot combined with conventional rehabilitation programs supplements the balance funct...

Motor Ability Evaluation of the Upper Extremity with Point-To-Point Training Movement Based on End-Effector Robot-Assisted Training System.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Assessment is critical during the procedure of stroke rehabilitation. However, traditional assessment methods are time-consuming, laborious, and dependent on the skillfulness of the therapist. Moreover, they cannot distinguish whether the improvement...

Probabilistic Model-Based Learning Control of a Soft Pneumatic Glove for Hand Rehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Stroke survivors are usually unable to perform activities of daily living (ADL) independently due to loss of hand functions. Soft pneumatic gloves provide a promising assistance approach for stroke survivors to conduct ADL tasks. However, ...

Comparative effects of EMG-driven robot-assisted therapy versus task-oriented training on motor and daily function in patients with stroke: a randomized cross-over trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted hand training has shown positive effects on promoting neuromuscular control. Since both robot-assisted therapy and task-oriented training are often used in post-stroke rehabilitation, we raised the question of whether two i...

Using Machine Learning to Develop a Short-Form Measure Assessing 5 Functions in Patients With Stroke.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop and validate a machine learning-based short measure to assess 5 functions (the ML-5F) (activities of daily living [ADL], balance, upper extremity [UE] and lower extremity [LE] motor function, and mobility) in pa...

Effects of a Brain-Computer Interface-Operated Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot on Motor Function Recovery in Patients with Stroke.

Journal of healthcare engineering
PURPOSE: To observe the effect of a brain-computer interface-operated lower limb rehabilitation robot (BCI-LLRR) on functional recovery from stroke and to explore mechanisms.
