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 …

In previous work, we developed a lightweight wearable hand exoskeleton (Hand Spring
Operated Movement Enhancer) that improves range of motion and function in laboratory …

Improvement in hand function to promote functional recovery is one of the major goals of
stroke rehabilitation. This paper introduces a newly developed exoskeleton for hand …

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

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 …

Recovery of functional hand movements after stroke is directly linked to rehabilitation
duration and intensity. Continued therapy at home has the potential to increase both. For …

This study presents preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial comparing a novel
passive arm orthosis training system, the Therapy Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (T …

<? 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 A large number of robotic or gravity-supporting devices have been developed
for rehabilitation of upper extremity post-stroke. Because these devices continuously monitor …

An exoskeleton hand robotic training device is specially designed for persons after stroke to
provide training on their impaired hand by using an exoskeleton robotic hand which is …
