Kinesthetic deficits after perinatal stroke: robotic measurement in hemiparetic children.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: While sensory dysfunction is common in children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy (CP) secondary to perinatal stroke, it is an understudied contributor to disability with limited objective measurement tools. Robotic technology offers the po...

ArmAssist Robotic System versus Matched Conventional Therapy for Poststroke Upper Limb Rehabilitation: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

BioMed research international
The ArmAssist is a simple low-cost robotic system for upper limb motor training that combines known benefits of repetitive task-oriented training, greater intensity of practice, and less dependence on therapist assistance. The aim of this preliminary...

The impact of robot-mediated adaptive I-TRAVLE training on impaired upper limb function in chronic stroke and multiple sclerosis.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The current study aimed to investigate proof-of-concept efficacy of an individualized, robot-mediated training regime for people with MS (pwMS) and stroke patients.

Cognitive-Motor Interference on Upper Extremity Motor Performance in a Robot-Assisted Planar Reaching Task Among Patients With Stroke.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To explore motor performance on 2 different cognitive tasks during robotic rehabilitation in which motor performance was longitudinally assessed.

Rehabilitation robotics for the upper extremity: review with new directions for orthopaedic disorders.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The focus of research using technological innovations such as robotic devices has been on interventions to improve upper extremity function in neurologic populations, particularly patients with stroke. There is a growing body of evidence describing r...

Using robot fully assisted functional movements in upper-limb rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients: preliminary results.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is promising to promote function in stroke patients. The assist as needed training paradigm has shown to stimulate neuroplasticity but often cannot be used because stroke patients are too impaired to actively contro...

Robotic quantification of upper extremity loss of independent joint control or flexion synergy in individuals with hemiparetic stroke: a review of paradigms addressing the effects of shoulder abduction loading.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Unsupported or "against-gravity" reaching and hand opening movements are greatly impaired in individuals with hemiparetic stroke. The reduction in reaching excursion and hand opening is thought to be primarily limited by abnormal muscle co-activation...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Therapy for the Upper Limb After Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Robot technology for poststroke rehabilitation is developing rapidly. A number of new randomized controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the effects of robot-assisted therapy for the paretic upper limb (RT-UL).
