A Clinically Relevant Method of Analyzing Continuous Change in Robotic Upper Extremity Chronic Stroke Rehabilitation.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Robots designed for rehabilitation of the upper extremity after stroke facilitate high rates of repetition during practice of movements and record precise kinematic data, providing a method to investigate motor recovery profiles over time...

Robot training for hand motor recovery in subacute stroke patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Journal of hand therapy : official journal of the American Society of Hand Therapists
BACKGROUND: Evidence of superiority of robot training for the hand over classical therapies in stroke patients remains controversial. During the subacute stage, hand training is likely to be the most useful.

Improving proprioceptive deficits after stroke through robot-assisted training of the upper limb: a pilot case report study.

Neurocase
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a conventional robot-assisted therapy of the upper limb was able to improve proprioception and motor recovery of an individual after stroke who exhibited proprioceptive deficits. After robotic sensor...

Examining Differences in Patterns of Sensory and Motor Recovery After Stroke With Robotics.

Stroke
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Developing a better understanding of the trajectory and timing of stroke recovery is critical for developing patient-centered rehabilitation approaches. Here, we quantified proprioceptive and motor deficits using robotic techn...

Long-term Effectiveness of Intensive Therapy in Chronic Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Background While recent clinical trials involving robot-assisted therapy have failed to show clinically significant improvement versus conventional therapy, it is possible that a broader strategy of intensive therapy-to include robot-assisted rehabil...

Voxel-based Gaussian naïve Bayes classification of ischemic stroke lesions in individual T1-weighted MRI scans.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Manual lesion delineation by an expert is the standard for lesion identification in MRI scans, but it is time-consuming and can introduce subjective bias. Alternative methods often require multi-modal MRI data, user interaction, scans fro...

Effects of robotic gait rehabilitation on biomechanical parameters in the chronic hemiplegic patients.

Neurophysiologie clinique = Clinical neurophysiology
Hemiplegia is a more or less complete loss of hemibody voluntary motricity following a brain injury, usually resulting in alterations of the locomotor system with persistent disorders of movement and posture. We were interested in studying the gait p...

Robotic Therapy and the Paradox of the Diminishing Number of Degrees of Freedom.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
There has been remarkable growth in the development and application of robotics to ameliorate or remediate impairment. This growth is associated with a) the understanding that plasticity is a fundamental property of the adult human brain and might be...
