Robot-assisted hand training adopting end-effector devices results in an additional reduction of motor impairment in comparison to usual care alone in different stages of stroke recovery. These devices often allow the patient to perform practical, at...
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that robot-assisted therapy (RT) is effective in treating impairment and that it may also improve individuals' participation.
Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and the primary cause of acquired disability worldwide. Many stroke survivors have difficulty using their upper limbs, which have important functional roles in the performance of daily life activities. Con...
BACKGROUND: Home-based robotic therapy is a trend of post-stroke upper limb rehabilitation. Although home-based upper limb rehabilitation robots have been developed over several decades, no design specification has been published.

BACKGROUND: Neurological injuries such as stroke often differentially impair hand motor and somatosensory function, as well as the interplay between the two, which leads to limitations in performing activities of daily living. However, it is challeng...
In this research, a redundant cable-driven robust rehabilitation robot has been proposed for helping and automating the proper function of the patient's lower and upper limbs in the presence of uncertainties, disturbances, noise, and time delay using...
The hand gesture recognition (HGR) process is one of the most vital components in human-computer interaction systems. Especially, these systems facilitate hearing-impaired people to communicate with society. This study aims to design a deep learning ...

BACKGROUND: The clinical evaluation of the upper limb of severely impaired stroke patient is challenging. Sensor-based assessments may allow for an objective evaluation of this patient population. This study investigated the validity of a device-assi...
Passive movement is an important mean of rehabilitation for stroke survivors in the early stage or with greater paralysis. The upper extremity robot is required to assist therapists with passive movement during clinical rehabilitation, while customiz...
