Finger impairment following stroke results in significant deficits in hand manipulation and the
performance of everyday tasks. While recent advances in rehabilitation robotics have shown …

Chronic hand impairment is common following stroke. While mass practice of movement has
shown promise for rehabilitation, initial impairment of the hand may be too severe to permit …

In this paper, a cable-driven exoskeleton device is developed for stroke patients to enable
them to perform passive range of motion exercises and teleoperation rehabilitation of their …

Background Following acute therapeutic interventions, the majority of stroke survivors are
left with a poorly functioning hemiparetic hand. Rehabilitation robotics has shown promise in …

Background and Purpose. Stroke survivors often show a limited recovery in the hand
function to perform delicate motions, such as full hand grasping, finger pinching and …

Hand and finger functions are of critical importance for independence in everyday activities,
but their recovery is often limited following neurological injury, motivating the need for novel …

Stroke patients often have flexor hypertonia and finger extensor weakness, which makes it
difficult to open their affected hand for functional grasp. Because of this impairment, hand …

Rehabilitation of the hands is critical for the restoration of independence in activities of daily
living for individuals exhibiting disabilities of the upper extremities. There is initial evidence …

Robots have the potential to help provide exercise therapy in a repeatable and reproducible
manner for stroke survivors. To facilitate rehabilitation of the wrist and fingers joint, an …

This paper presents a new exoskeleton with 4 degrees of freedom (DOF) for index finger
rehabilitation. The device can generate bi-directional movement for all joints of the finger …
