How Can Robotic Devices Help Clinicians Determine the Treatment Dose for Post-Stroke Arm Paresis?

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Upper limb training dose after stroke is usually quantified by time and repetitions. This study analyzed upper limb motor training dose in stroke participants (N = 36) using a more comprehensive approach. Participants, classified by initial motor sev...

Combined effects and timing of robotic training and botulinum toxin on upper limb spasticity and motor function: a single‑blinded randomized controlled pilot study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of robotic training (RT) and botulinum toxin (BTX) injections on motor function and spasticity in individuals with post-stroke upper limb spasticity (ULS). We also sought to investigate th...

Optimal design of a wheelchair-mounted robotic arm for activities of daily living.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The increasing prevalence of upper limb dysfunctions due to stroke, spinal cord injuries, and multiple sclerosis presents a critical challenge in assistive technology: designing robotic arms that are both energy‑efficient and capable of effe...

Multicenter study on predicting postoperative upper limb muscle strength improvement in cervical spinal cord injury patients using radiomics and deep learning.

Scientific reports
Cervical spinal cord injury is often catastrophic, frequently leading to irreversible impairment. MRI has become the gold standard for evaluating spinal cord injuries (SCI). Our study aimed to assess the accuracy of a radiomics approach, based on mac...

Research on Upper Limb Motion Intention Classification and Rehabilitation Robot Control Based on sEMG.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
sEMG is a non-invasive biomedical engineering technique that can detect and record electrical signals generated by muscles, reflecting both motor intentions and the degree of muscle contraction. This study aims to classify and recognize nine types of...

Patient performance assessment methods for upper extremity rehabilitation in assist-as-needed therapy strategies: a comprehensive review.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
This paper aims to comprehensively review patient performance assessment (PPA) methods used in assist-as-needed (AAN) robotic therapy for upper extremity rehabilitation. AAN strategies adjust robotic assistance according to the patient's performance,...

A deep learning model for assistive decision-making during robot-aided rehabilitation therapies based on therapists' demonstrations.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: A promising approach to improving motor recovery during rehabilitation is the use of robotic rehabilitation devices. These robotic devices provide tools to monitor the patient's recovery progress while providing highly standardized and in...

Comparative efficacy of robot-assisted therapy associated with other different interventions on upper limb rehabilitation after stroke: A protocol for a network meta-analysis.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Post-stroke movement disorders are common, especially upper limb dysfunction, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of stroke patients. With the continuous development of intelligent technology, robot-assisted therapy h...

Clinical validation of an individualized auto-adaptative serious game for combined cognitive and upper limb motor robotic rehabilitation after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Intensive rehabilitation through challenging and individualized tasks are recommended to enhance upper limb recovery after stroke. Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) and serious games could be used to enhance functional recovery by providing si...

Effectiveness of robot-assisted task-oriented training intervention for upper limb and daily living skills in stroke patients: A meta-analysis.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Stroke is one of the leading causes of acquired disability in adults in high-income countries. This study aims to determine the intervention effects of robot-assisted task-oriented training on enhancing the upper limb function and daily livi...
