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...
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...
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.

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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...

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...
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...
