Background A novel electromechanical robotic-exoskeleton was designed in-house for the
rehabilitation of wrist joint and Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. Objective The objective …

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 study, conducted in a group of nine chronic patients with right-side hemiparesis after
stroke, investigated the effects of a robotic-assisted rehabilitation training with an upper limb …

Background. The effect of using robots to improve motor recovery has received increased
attention, even though the most effective protocol remains a topic of study. Objective. The …

Research into rehabilitation robotics has grown rapidly and the number of therapeutic
rehabilitation robots has expanded dramatically during the last two decades. Robotic …

Upper-limb impairment after stroke is caused by weakness, loss of individual joint control,
spasticity, and abnormal synergies. Upper-limb movement frequently involves abnormal …

Background Robotic systems combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) showed
promising results on upper-limb motor recovery after stroke, but adequately-sized …

Background To date, the limited degrees of freedom (DOF) of most robotic training devices
hinders them from providing functional training following stroke. We developed a 6-DOF …

Stroke is a debilitating disease that has afflicted millions of people throughout the world.
Assisting physiotherapists in post-stroke activities to conduct rehabilitation therapies …

Background Different mechanical supporting strategies to the joints in the upper extremity
(UE) may lead to varied rehabilitative effects after stroke. This study compared the …
