Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
May 16, 2022
BACKGROUND: Cognitive and motor function must work together quickly and seamlessly to allow us to interact with a complex world, but their integration is difficult to assess directly. Interactive technology provides opportunities to assess motor acti...
Upper limb dysfunctions (ULD) are common following a stroke. Annually, more than 15 million people suffer a stroke worldwide. We have developed a 7 degrees of freedom (DoF) exoskeleton robot named the smart robotic exoskeleton () to provide upper lim...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
May 12, 2022
PURPOSE: Enormous assistance is required during rehabilitation activities, which might result in a variety of complications if performed manually. To solve this issue, several solutions in the form of assistive devices have been presented recently. A...
Upper limb amputation severely affects the quality of life and the activities of daily living of a person. In the last decade, many robotic hand prostheses have been developed which are controlled by using various sensing technologies such as artific...
Arthroscopy : the journal of arthroscopic & related surgery : official publication of the Arthroscopy Association of North America and the International Arthroscopy Association
May 10, 2022
With the plethora of machine learning (ML) analyses published in the orthopaedic literature within the last 5 years, several attempts have been made to enhance our understanding of what exactly ML means and how it is used. At its most fundamental lev...
Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
Apr 29, 2022
BACKGROUND: The number of studies on the characteristics of patients with stroke who would benefit from robot-assisted upper limb rehabilitation is limited, and there are no clear criteria for determining which individuals should receive such treatme...
Upper-limb rehabilitation therapy sessions for post-stroke people generally contain rhythmic hand movements in a tiresome manner to rebuild the injured neural circuits. Fatigue formation causes breaks in the training and limits the therapy duration. ...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Apr 21, 2022
PURPOSE: Many recent clinical studies have suggested that the combination of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) can induce neurological recovery and improvement in motor function. In this review, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis to ev...
In post-stroke motor rehabilitation, treatment dose description is estimated approximately. The aim of this retrospective study was to quantify the treatment dose using robot-measured variables during robot-assisted training in patients with subacute...
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Apr 9, 2022
PURPOSE: Evidence suggests that patients with upper limb impairment following a stroke do not receive recommended amounts of motor practice. Robotics provide a potential solution to address this gap, but clinical adoption is low. The aim of this stud...
