Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability. Robot-assisted rehabilitation systems show great promise for motor recovery after a stroke. In this work, we present a gazecontrolled robotic system for upper limb rehabilitation. Subjects perform a pa...
BACKGROUND: Shedding light on the neuroscientific mechanisms of human upper limb motor control, in both healthy and disease conditions (e.g., after a stroke), can help to devise effective tools for a quantitative evaluation of the impaired conditions...
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study is to investigate the cortical activation during passive and active training modes under different speeds of upper extremity rehabilitation robots.
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to review the effects of robot-assisted therapy (RT) for improving poststroke upper extremity motor impairment.
