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...

Comparing Inertial Measurement Units to Markerless Video Analysis for Movement Symmetry in Quarter Horses.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: With an increasing number of systems for quantifying lameness-related movement asymmetry, between-system comparisons under non-laboratory conditions are important for multi-centre or referral-level studies. This study compares an artifici...

The role of robot-assisted training on rehabilitation outcomes in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Disability and rehabilitation
PURPOSE: The study aims to assess the efficacy of robot-assisted rehabilitation training on upper and lower limb motor function and fatigue in Parkinson's disease (PD), and to explore the best-acting robotic rehabilitation program.

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...

CARRT-Motion Capture Data for Robotic Human Upper Body Model.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In recent years, researchers have focused on analyzing humans' daily living activities to study various performance metrics that humans subconsciously optimize while performing a particular task. In order to recreate these motions in robotic structur...

ChatGPT in medical research: challenging time ahead.

The Medico-legal journal
Since its launch, ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence-powered language model tool, has generated significant attention in research writing. The use of ChatGPT in medical research can be a double-edged sword. ChatGPT can expedite the research writing ...

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...

A bidirectional fabric-based soft robotic glove for hand function assistance in patients with chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Chronic stroke patients usually experience reduced hand functions, impeding their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs) independently. Additionally, improvements in hand functions by physical therapy beyond six months after...

Using robotics to move a neurosurgeon's hands to the tip of their endoscope.

Science robotics
A major advantage of surgical robots is that they can reduce the invasiveness of a procedure by enabling the clinician to manipulate tools as they would in open surgery but through small incisions in the body. Neurosurgery has yet to benefit from thi...
