Predicting mortality in brain stroke patients using neural networks: outcomes analysis in a longitudinal study.

Scientific reports
In this study, Neural Networks (NN) modelling has emerged as a promising tool for predicting outcomes in patients with Brain Stroke (BS) by identifying key risk factors. In this longitudinal study, we enrolled 332 patients form Imam hospital in Ardab...

A Flexible Wearable Supernumerary Robotic Limb for Chronic Stroke Patients.

Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
In this study, we present a flexible wearable supernumerary robotic limb that helps chronic stroke patients with finger rehabilitation and grasping movements. The design of this innovative limb draws inspiration from bending pneumatic muscles and the...

Effectiveness of Robotics in Stroke Rehabilitation to Accelerate Upper Extremity Function: Systematic Review.

Occupational therapy international
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effectiveness of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) combined with conventional therapy (CT) compared to CT alone in accelerating upper extremity (UE) recovery poststroke. . We searched five databases: Ovid, MEDLINE, CINAHL, PubMed...

Feasibility, safety, and efficacy of task-oriented mirrored robotic training on upper-limb functions and activities of daily living in subacute poststroke patients: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotic training with high repetitions facilitates upper-limb movements but provides fewer benefits for activities of daily living. Integrating activities of daily living training tasks and mirror therapy into a robot may enhance the func...

Hybrid Robotic and Electrical Stimulation Assistance Can Enhance Performance and Reduce Mental Demand.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Combining functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotics may enhance recovery after stroke, by providing neural feedback with the former while improving quality of motion and minimizing muscular fatigue with the latter. Here, we explored whethe...

Brief exosuit use improves post-stroke gait.

Science robotics
After only 2 weeks of training with an exoskeleton suit, post-stroke individuals improved their knee flexion and gait.

A robot-based interception task to quantify upper limb impairments in proprioceptive and visual feedback after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: A key motor skill is the ability to rapidly interact with our dynamic environment. Humans can generate goal-directed motor actions in response to sensory stimulus within ~ 60-200ms. This ability can be impaired after stroke, but most clin...

Evaluation of a novel real-time adaptive assist-as-needed controller for robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation following stroke.

PloS one
Rehabilitation therapy plays an essential role in assisting people with stroke regain arm function. Upper extremity robot therapy offers a number of advantages over manual therapies, but can suffer from slacking behavior, where the user lets the robo...

The effect of sequential combination of mirror therapy and robot-assisted therapy on motor function, daily function, and self-efficacy after stroke.

Scientific reports
Robot-assisted therapy and mirror therapy are both effective in promoting upper limb function after stroke and combining these two interventions might yield greater therapeutic effects. We aimed to examine whether using mirror therapy as a priming st...
