BACKGROUND: Early prediction of upper limb recovery is important to optimise rehabilitation and inform patients but remains challenging due to inter-individual variability. This study aims to (1) develop and validate a machine learning model to predi...
INTRODUCTION: Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability creating a huge economic burden annually. Robot-assisted training (RT) is a promising therapy in stroke rehabilitation, but for the elderly, traditional 'reaching objects'" task...
Robot-assisted mirror therapy (MRT) is a cutting-edge rehabilitative treatment that combines mirror therapy and rehabilitation robots and can improve stroke patient participation in rehabilitation training. The aim of this study was to investigate th...
Therapeutic and assistive exoskeletons and exosuits show promise in both clinical and real-world settings. Improving their autonomy can enhance usability, effectiveness, and cost efficiency. This Review presents a generic control framework for autono...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The brain-computer interface-based soft robotic glove (BCI-SRG) holds promise for upper limb rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients, yet its efficacy and neural mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the t...
. Upper-limb gesture identification is an important problem in the advancement of robotic prostheses. Prevailing research into classifying electromyographic (EMG) muscular data or electroencephalographic (EEG) brain data for this purpose is often lim...
With the development of society, the service level of rehabilitation institutions needs to be improved. Pneumatic drive technology has attracted widespread attention due to its high safety and easy control. As a new type of driving element, pneumatic...
BACKGROUND: The majority of individuals with chronic stroke have residual upper extremity (UE) disability which they cite as their greatest barrier to recovery. Using orthoses, robotic devices, and functional electrical stimulation (FES) represent re...
