Beyond motor recovery after stroke: The role of hand robotic rehabilitation plus virtual reality in improving cognitive function.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
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...

Effect of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Participation of People with Limited Upper Limb Functioning: A Systematic Review with GRADE Recommendations.

Occupational therapy international
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that robot-assisted therapy (RT) is effective in treating impairment and that it may also improve individuals' participation.

The Effect of Applying Robot-Assisted Task-Oriented Training Using Human-Robot Collaborative Interaction Force Control Technology on Upper Limb Function in Stroke Patients: Preliminary Findings.

BioMed research international
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...

A scoping review of design requirements for a home-based upper limb rehabilitation robot for stroke.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
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.

Reliable and valid robot-assisted assessments of hand proprioceptive, motor and sensorimotor impairments after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
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...

Robust control of a cable-driven rehabilitation robot for lower and upper limbs.

ISA transactions
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...

A deep convolutional neural network model for hand gesture recognition in 2D near-infrared images.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
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 ...

Clinical validation of kinematic assessments of post-stroke upper limb movements with a multi-joint arm exoskeleton.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
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...

Customizing Robot-Assisted Passive Neurorehabilitation Exercise Based on Teaching Training Mechanism.

BioMed research international
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...

State of the art and challenges for the classification of studies on electromechanical and robotic devices in neurorehabilitation: a scoping review.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: The rapid development of electromechanical and robotic devices has profoundly influenced neurorehabilitation. Growth in the scientific and technological aspects thereof is crucial for increasing the number of newly developed devices, an...
