This scoping review gives an overview of current research activities in the field of very early mobilization with robotic devices of intensive care patients. It presents the effect of very early, robot-assisted mobilization on intensive care patients...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the effects of robot-assisted therapy (RT) for improving poststroke upper extremity motor impairment.
BACKGROUND: Even though a variety of rehabilitative technique have been implemented to ameliorate neglect symptoms of patients with stoke, the effects of limb activation using a robotic device are still unknown. The purpose of this study was to inves...

BACKGROUND: Upper limb motor deficits in patients with severe stroke often remain unresolved over time. Combining transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with robotic therapy is an innovative neurorehabilitation approach that holds promise to improve...
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of disability resulting in long-term functional ambulation deficits. Conventional therapy can improve ambulation, but may not be able to provide consistent, high dose repetition of movement, resulting in variable...
