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...

Robotic Assessment of Upper Limb Function in a Nonhuman Primate Model of Chronic Stroke.

Translational stroke research
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide and survivors are frequently left with long-term disabilities that diminish their autonomy and result in the need for chronic care. There is an urgent need for the development of therapies t...

An Exoneuromusculoskeleton for Self-Help Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke.

Soft robotics
This article presents a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven exoneuromusculoskeleton that integrates the neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), soft pneumatic muscle, and exoskeleton techniques, for self-help upper limb training after stroke. Th...

Brain-Computer Interface-Based Soft Robotic Glove Rehabilitation for Stroke.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled feasibility study investigates the ability for clinical application of the Brain-Computer Interface-based Soft Robotic Glove (BCI-SRG) incorporating activities of daily living (ADL)-oriented tasks for stroke reha...
