<? Pub Dtl=""?> Significant functional impairment of the hand is common among stroke
survivors and restoration of hand function should be prioritized during post-stroke …

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

In Australia, a major cause of disability is the stroke and it is the second highest cause of
death after coronary heart disease. Studies have predicted that form 2008 to 2017 more than …

Abstract Study Design An iterative design process was used to obtain design parameters
that satisfy both kinematic and dynamic requirements for the hand exoskeleton. This design …

Stroke survivors can be affected by motor deficits in the hand. Robotic equipment associated
with brain–machine interfaces (BMI) may aid the motor rehabilitation of these patients. BMIs …

Most current hand exoskeletons have been designed specifically for rehabilitation, assistive,
or haptic applications to simplify the design requirements. Clinical studies on poststroke …

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 …

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 …

Voluntary hand movements are usually impaired after a cerebral stroke, affecting millions of
people per year worldwide. Recently, the use of hand exoskeletons for assistance and motor …

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 …
