Comparative efficacy of robot-assisted therapy associated with other different interventions on upper limb rehabilitation after stroke: A protocol for a network meta-analysis.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Post-stroke movement disorders are common, especially upper limb dysfunction, which seriously affects the physical and mental health of stroke patients. With the continuous development of intelligent technology, robot-assisted therapy h...

Clinical validation of an individualized auto-adaptative serious game for combined cognitive and upper limb motor robotic rehabilitation after stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Intensive rehabilitation through challenging and individualized tasks are recommended to enhance upper limb recovery after stroke. Robot-assisted therapy (RAT) and serious games could be used to enhance functional recovery by providing si...

Effectiveness of robot-assisted task-oriented training intervention for upper limb and daily living skills in stroke patients: A meta-analysis.

PloS one
PURPOSE: Stroke is one of the leading causes of acquired disability in adults in high-income countries. This study aims to determine the intervention effects of robot-assisted task-oriented training on enhancing the upper limb function and daily livi...

Predicting upper limb motor recovery in subacute stroke patients via fNIRS-measured cerebral functional responses induced by robotic training.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neural activation induced by upper extremity robot-assisted training (UE-RAT) helps characterize adaptive changes in the brains of poststroke patients, revealing differences in recovery potential among patients. However, it remains unclea...

Barrier function-based prescribed performance trajectory tracking control of wheelchair upper-limb exoskeleton robot under actuator fault and external disturbance: Experimental verification.

ISA transactions
This paper presents an innovative control strategy for the trajectory tracking of wheelchair upper-limb exoskeleton robots, integrating sliding mode control with a barrier function-based prescribed performance approach to handle actuator faults and e...

Impedance for Assistance: Upper-Limb Assistive Soft Robotic Suit Using Linked-Layer Jamming Mechanisms.

Soft robotics
Wearable robots, especially those composed of soft materials, are increasingly attracting interest due to their comfort, ease of donning and doffing, and their ability to provide assistance across various applications. In wearable robotics, striking ...

Impact of upper extremity robotic rehabilitation on respiratory parameters, functional capacity and dyspnea in patients with stroke: a randomized controlled study.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
BACKGROUND: Stroke leads to reduced mobility and functional capacity, also negatively affects respiratory functions and muscle strength.

A fuzzy-logic approach for longitudinal assessment of patients' psychophysiological state: an application to upper-limb orthopedic robot-aided rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Understanding the psychophysiological state during robot-aided rehabilitation is crucial for assessing the patient experience during treatments. This paper introduces a psychophysiological estimation approach using a Fuzzy Logic inference model to as...

Cost analysis of technological vs. conventional upper limb rehabilitation for patients with neurological disorders: an Italian real-world data case study.

Frontiers in public health
INTRODUCTION: Most patients suffering from neurological disorders endure varying degrees of upper limb dysfunction, limiting their everyday activities, with only a limited number regaining full arm use. Robotic and technological rehabilitation has be...

Comparative Scoping Review: Robot-Assisted Upper Limb Stroke Rehabilitation in Low- and Middle-Income Countries Versus High-Income Nations.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To examine robotic interventions for upper limb rehabilitation poststroke, focusing on geographic distribution, stroke chronicity, outcome measures, outcomes of robotic interventions, and publication trends in low- and middle-income countr...
