Soft Robotics in Upper Limb Neurorehabilitation and Assistance: Current Clinical Evidence and Recommendations Open
Soft robotics is gaining interest in rehabilitation applications, bringing new opportunities to offset the loss of upper limb motor function following neurological, neuromuscular, or traumatic injuries. Unlike conventional rigid robotics, …
Telerehabilitation using a 2-D planar arm rehabilitation robot for hemiparetic stroke: A feasibility study of clinic-to-home exergaming therapy Open
Aims: We evaluated the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a 2D-planar robot for minimally-supervised home-based upper-limb therapy for post-stroke hemiparesis. Materials and Methods: The H-Man, end effector robot, combined with web-based …
Upper limb sensorimotor recovery in Asian stroke survivors: a study protocol for the development and implementation of a Technology-Assisted dIgitaL biOmaRker (TAILOR) platform Open
Background Stroke is a leading cause of lifelong disability worldwide, partially driven by a reduced ability to use the upper limb in daily life causing increased dependence on caregivers. However, post-stroke functional impairments have o…
Upper Limb Position Matching After Stroke: Evidence for Bilateral Asymmetry in Precision but Not in Accuracy Open
Assessment and rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke have focused primarily on the contralesional arm. However, increasing evidence highlights functional sensorimotor alterations also in the ipsilesional arm. This study aims to eva…
Robotic Assisted Upper Limb Training Post Stroke: A Randomized Control Trial Using Combinatory Approach Toward Reducing Workforce Demands Open
Post stroke upper limb rehabilitation is a challenging problem with poor outcomes as 40% of survivors have functionally useless upper limbs. Robot-aided therapy (RAT) is a potential method to alleviate the effort of intensive, task-specifi…
Work with me, not for me: Relationship between robotic assistance and performance in subacute and chronic stroke patients Open
Introduction Studies in robotic therapy which applied the performance enhancement approach report improvements in motor performance during training, though these improvements do not always transfer to motor learning. Objectives We postulat…
Proprioceptive assessment in clinical settings: Evaluation of joint position sense in upper limb post-stroke using a robotic manipulator Open
Proprioception is a critical component for motor functions and directly affects motor learning after neurological injuries. Conventional methods for its assessment are generally ordinal in nature and hence lack sensitivity. Robotic devices…
