Robotic treatment of the upper limb in chronic stroke and cerebral neuroplasticity: a systematic review.

Journal of biological regulators and homeostatic agents
Stroke is the second cause of mortality and the third cause of long-term disability worldwide. Deficits in upper limb (UL) capacity persist at 6 months post-stroke in 30-66% of hemiplegic stroke patients with major limitations in activity of daily li...

Upper Limb Robotic Rehabilitation After Stroke: A Multicenter, Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of neurologic physical therapy : JNPT
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: After stroke, only 12% of survivors obtain complete upper limb (UL) functional recovery, while in 30% to 60% UL deficits persist. Despite the complexity of the UL, prior robot-mediated therapy research has used only one robot ...

Beyond therapists: Technology-aided physical MS rehabilitation delivery.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
In the last decade, rehabilitation technology has been developed, investigated, and entered specialized clinical settings. In this chapter, we first discuss the potential of rehabilitation technology to support the achievement of key factors in motor...

Predictors of functional and motor outcomes following upper limb robot-assisted therapy after stroke.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Robot-assisted therapy is an effective treatment for stroke patients and has recently gained popularity. Clinicians and researchers are trying to identify predictors to stratify patients for ensuring better stroke rehabilitation outcomes. However, pr...

[Construction and analysis of muscle functional network for exoskeleton robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Exoskeleton nursing robot is a typical human-machine co-drive system. To full play the subjective control and action orientation of human, it is necessary to comprehensively analyze exoskeleton wearer's surface electromyography (EMG) in the process o...

Kinematic Redundancy Analysis during Goal-Directed Motion for Trajectory Planning of an Upper-Limb Exoskeleton Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
The kinematic redundancy of human arm imposes challenges on joint space trajectory planning for upper-limb rehabilitation robot. This paper aims to investigate normal motion patterns in reaching and reach-to-grasp movements, and obtain the unique sol...

Synergy-Based Myocontrol of a Multiple Degree-of-Freedom Humanoid Robot for Functional Tasks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In the context of sensor-based human-robot interaction, a particularly promising solution is represented by myoelectric control schemes based on synergy-derived signals. We developed and tested on healthy subjects a synergy-based control to achieve s...

Automatic Inference of Rat's Hindlimb Trajectory to Synchronize with Forelimb Gait Through Phase.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Synchronous forelimb-hindlimb gait pattern is important to facilitate natural walking behavior of an injured rat with total transection. Since our ultimate research goal is to build a rehabilitation robotic system to simulate the natural walking patt...
