OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of the robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) device plus physiotherapy vs physiotherapy alone in improving ambulatory functions in patients with subacute stroke with hemiplegia.
According to statistics, stroke is the second or third leading cause of death and adult disability. Stroke causes losing control of the motor function, paralysis of body parts, and severe back pain for which a physiotherapist employs many therapies t...
Rehabilitation training and movement evaluation after stroke have become a research hotspot as stroke has become a very common and harmful disease. However, traditional rehabilitation training and evaluation are mainly conducted under the guidance of...
Stroke is a common reason for motor disability and is often associated with spasticity and poor motor function of the upper limbs involved. Spasticity management is important to accelerate motor recovery. The objective of this study was to investiga...
Intracranial vessel perforation is a peri-procedural complication during endovascular therapy (EVT). Prompt recognition is important as its occurrence is strongly associated with unfavorable treatment outcomes. However, perforations can be hard to de...

BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted hand training has shown positive effects on promoting neuromuscular control. Since both robot-assisted therapy and task-oriented training are often used in post-stroke rehabilitation, we raised the question of whether two i...
The first ever insurance reimbursement for an artificial intelligence (AI) system, which expedites triage of acute stroke, occurred in 2020 when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) granted approval for a New Technology Add-on Payment...
