Brain Activation Pattern Caused by Soft Rehabilitation Glove and Virtual Reality Scenes: A Pilot fNIRS Study.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Clinical studies have proved significant improvements in hand motor function in stroke patients when assisted by robotic devices. However, there were few studies on neural activity changes in the brain during execution. This study aimed to investigat...

Comparative Scoping Review: Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Stroke Rehabilitation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Versus High-Income Nations.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To examine robotic interventions for upper limb rehabilitation poststroke, focusing on geographic distribution, stroke chronicity, outcome measures, outcomes of robotic interventions, and publication trends in low- and middle-income countr...

Effects of end-effector robotic arm reach training with functional electrical stimulation for chronic stroke survivors.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Upper-extremity dysfunction significantly affects dependence in the daily lives of stroke survivors, limiting their participation in the social environment and reducing their quality of life.

Enhancing stroke rehabilitation with whole-hand haptic rendering: development and clinical usability evaluation of a novel upper-limb rehabilitation device.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: There is currently a lack of easy-to-use and effective robotic devices for upper-limb rehabilitation after stroke. Importantly, most current systems lack the provision of somatosensory information that is congruent with the virtual trai...

Restoring of Interhemispheric Symmetry in Patients With Stroke Following Bilateral or Unilateral Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Bilateral robotic rehabilitation has proven helpful in the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients with stroke, but its effects on the cortical reorganization mechanisms underlying recovery are still unclear. This pilot Randomized Controlle...

Effect and optimal exercise prescription of robot-assisted gait training on lower extremity motor function in stroke patients: a network meta-analysis.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) and explore the optimal exercise prescription using a network meta-analysis approach.

Optimizing Real-Time MI-BCI Performance in Post-Stroke Patients: Impact of Time Window Duration on Classification Accuracy and Responsiveness.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are promising tools for motor neurorehabilitation. Achieving a balance between classification accuracy and system responsiveness is crucial for real-time applications. This study aimed to assess how the duration of ti...

Effects of high-definition tDCS targeting individual motor hotspot with EMG-driven robotic hand training on upper extremity motor function: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Delivering HD-tDCS on individual motor hotspot with optimal electric fields could overcome challenges of stroke heterogeneity, potentially facilitating neural activation and improving motor function for stroke survivors. However, the inte...

Efficacy of robot-assisted gait training on lower extremity function in subacute stroke patients: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) is a novel technology widely employed in the field of neurological rehabilitation for patients with subacute stroke. However, the effectiveness of RAGT compared to conventional gait training (CGT) in im...

Sensory Stimulation and Robot-Assisted Arm Training After Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of neurologic physical therapy : JNPT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Functional recovery after stroke is often limited, despite various treatment methods such as robot-assisted therapy. Repetitive sensory stimulation (RSS) might be a promising add-on therapy that is thought to directly drive pl...
