Effects of short-term upper limb robot-assisted therapy on the rehabilitation of sub-acute stroke patients.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted therapy (RT) has become a promising stroke rehabilitation intervention.

Comparison of active-assisted and active-unassisted robot-mediated upper limb therapy in subacute stroke.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Upper-limb robot-mediated therapy is usually carried out in active-assisted mode because it enables performance of many movements. However, assistance may reduce the patient's own efforts which could limit motor recovery.

Movement strategy and EMG activities of the upper extremity at assisted reaching exercise with a 7 DOF collaborative robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Recovering of upper extremity functions is important for stroke patients to perform various tasks in daily life. For better rehabilitation outcomes and accurate measurement, robot assisted exercises have been developed. However, there are limited num...

Subject-specific, Impairment-based Robotic Training of Functional Upper Limb Movements.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Significant hand and upper-limb impairment is common post-stroke. Robotic training can administer a high-dose of repetitive movement training to stroke survivors, but its efficacy can be further improved by targeting specific impairments of individua...

A Paediatric 3D-Printed Soft Robotic Hand Prosthesis for Children with Upper Limb Loss.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Designing prosthetic hands for children is challenging due to the limited space for electronics and the need of reducing the cost to cater for the constant growth of their hand. In this paper, we proposed an anthropomorphic hand prosthesis for childr...

Design and Validation of a Lower-Limb Haptic Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Present robots for investigating lower-limb motor control and rehabilitation focus on gait training. An alternative approach is to focus on restoring precursor abilities such as motor adaptation and volitional movement, as is common in upper-limb rob...

[Intensities in the application of robotic technologies in upper extremity rehabilitation after a stroke: a systematic review of randomised controlled clinical trials].

Revista de neurologia
INTRODUCTION: In the vast majority of cases stroke entails long-term limitations in the use of the upper extremities that are affected. Robotic technologies provide beneficial results in motor rehabilitation, but the optimal levels of intensity are n...

The future of upper extremity rehabilitation robotics: research and practice.

Muscle & nerve
The loss of upper limb motor function can have a devastating effect on people's lives. To restore upper limb control and functionality, researchers and clinicians have developed interfaces to interact directly with the human body's motor system. In t...

Evaluation of admittance control as an alternative to passive arm supports to increase upper extremity function for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Muscle & nerve
The degree of upper extremity active range of motion provided by an admittance control robot compared with a commercially available passive arm support for individuals with DMD who have limited arm function was investigated in this study. The reachab...
