Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective adjunctive treatment for patients with stroke that helps to regain functional mobility and is applied in many rehabilitation units for poststroke neurorecovery. We discuss our successful attempt to ...
The preliminary test results of a novel robotic hand rehabilitation device aimed at treatment for the loss of motor abilities in the fingers and thumb due to stroke are presented. This device has been developed in collaboration with physiotherapists ...
Interest in home-based stroke rehabilitation mechatronics, which includes both robots and sensor mechanisms, has increased over the past 12 years. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the existing lack of access to rehabilitation for stroke survivor...
Upper extremity hemiplegia is a serious problem affecting the lives of many people post-stroke. Motor recovery requires high repetitions and quality of task-specific practice. Sufficient practice cannot be completed during therapy sessions, requiring...
BACKGROUND: The single pellet reaching and grasp (SPRG) task is a behavioural assay widely used to study motor learning, control and recovery after nervous system injury in animals. The manual training and assessment of the SPRG is labour intensive a...
BACKGROUND: Despite evolving treatments, functional recovery in patients with large vessel occlusion stroke remains variable and outcome prediction challenging. Can we improve estimation of functional outcome with interpretable deep learning models u...
Robot-assisted therapy can effectively treat upper extremity (UE) paralysis in patients who experience a stroke. Presently, UE, as a training item, is selected according to the severity of the paralysis based on a clinician's experience. The possibil...
For patients with acute ischemic stroke, histological quantification of thrombus composition provides evidence for determining appropriate treatment. However, the traditional manual segmentation of stained thrombi is laborious and inconsistent. In th...

OBJECTIVE: Although existing assist-as-needed (AAN) controllers have been designed to adapt the robotic assistance to patients' movement performance, they ignore patient's active participation. This study proposed a voluntary AAN (VAAN) controller co...
