Performance-Based Hybrid Control of a Cable-Driven Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Patients after stroke may have different rehabilitation needs due to various levels of disability. To satisfy such needs, a performance-based hybrid control is proposed for a cable-driven upper-limb rehabilitation robot (CDULRR). The controller inclu...

HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN): telerehabilitation using an unactuated device based on serious games improves the upper limb function in chronic stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: HoMEcare aRm rehabiLItatioN (MERLIN) is an unactuated version of the robotic device ArmAssist combined with a telecare platform. Stroke patients are able to train the upper limb function using serious games at home. The aim of this study ...

A randomized controlled trial on the effects induced by robot-assisted and usual-care rehabilitation on upper limb muscle synergies in post-stroke subjects.

Scientific reports
Muscle synergies are hypothesized to reflect connections among motoneurons in the spinal cord activated by central commands and sensory feedback. Robotic rehabilitation of upper limb in post-stroke subjects has shown promising results in terms of imp...

Robot-Based Assessment of HIV-Related Motor and Cognitive Impairment for Neurorehabilitation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
There is a pressing need for strategies to slow or treat the progression of functional decline in people living with HIV. This paper explores a novel rehabilitation robotics approach to measuring cognitive and motor impairment in adults living with H...

A usability study in patients with stroke using MERLIN, a robotic system based on serious games for upper limb rehabilitation in the home setting.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neuroscience and neurotechnology are transforming stroke rehabilitation. Robotic devices, in addition to telerehabilitation, are increasingly being used to train the upper limbs after stroke, and their use at home allows us to extend inst...

Application of machine learning to the identification of joint degrees of freedom involved in abnormal movement during upper limb prosthesis use.

PloS one
To evaluate movement quality of upper limb (UL) prosthesis users, performance-based outcome measures have been developed that examine the normalcy of movement as compared to a person with a sound, intact hand. However, the broad definition of "normal...

Systematic review of guidelines to identify recommendations for upper limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: Upper limb motor impairment is one of the most frequent stroke consequences. Robot therapy may represent a valid option for upper limb stroke rehabilitation, but there are still gaps between research evidence and their use in clinical p...

Robot enhanced stroke therapy optimizes rehabilitation (RESTORE): a pilot study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation after stroke provides the potential to increase and carefully control dosage of therapy. Only a small number of studies, however, have examined robotic therapy in the first few weeks post-stroke. In this study we de...

Behavioral and neurophysiological effects of an intensified robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke: a case control study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Physical training is able to induce changes at neurophysiological and behavioral level associated with performance changes for the trained movements. The current study explores the effects of an additional intense robot-assisted upper ext...
