Robotic rehabilitation for end-effector device and botulinum toxin in upper limb rehabilitation in chronic post-stroke patients: an integrated rehabilitative approach.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
BACKGROUND: Determine the effects of an integrated rehabilitation protocol, including botulinum toxin and conventional rehabilitation exercise plus end-effector (EE) robotic training for functional recovery of the upper limb (UL) compared to training...

Effects of robot-assisted training on balance function in patients with stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy on balance function in stroke survivors.

Optimization of the ASPIRE Spherical Parallel Rehabilitation Robot Based on Its Clinical Evaluation.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The paper presents the design optimization of the ASPIRE spherical parallel robot for shoulder rehabilitation following clinical evaluation and clinicians' feedback. After the development of the robotic structure and the implementation of the control...

Evaluating Rehabilitation Progress Using Motion Features Identified by Machine Learning.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Evaluating progress throughout a patient's rehabilitation episode is critical for determining the effectiveness of the selected treatments and is an essential ingredient in personalised and evidence-based rehabilitation practice. The evaluation proce...

Performance-Based Hybrid Control of a Cable-Driven Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Patients after stroke may have different rehabilitation needs due to various levels of disability. To satisfy such needs, a performance-based hybrid control is proposed for a cable-driven upper-limb rehabilitation robot (CDULRR). The controller inclu...

Converging Robotic Technologies in Targeted Neural Rehabilitation: A Review of Emerging Solutions and Challenges.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent advances in the field of neural rehabilitation, facilitated through technological innovation and improved neurophysiological knowledge of impaired motor control, have opened up new research directions. Such advances increase the relevance of e...

HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN): telerehabilitation using an unactuated device based on serious games improves the upper limb function in chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN) is an unactuated version of the robotic device ArmAssist combined with a telecare platform. Stroke patients are able to train the upper limb function using serious games at home. The aim of this study ...

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...
