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 …

The quality of arm movements typically improves in the sub-acute phase of stroke affecting
the upper extremity. Here, we used whole arm kinematic analysis during reaching …

Stroke is a major cause of disability in the world. The activities of upper limb segments are
often compromised following a stroke, impairing most daily tasks. Robotic training is now …

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 …

Studies on robotic interventions for gait rehabilitation after stroke require:(i) rigorous
performance evidence;(ii) systematic procedures to tune the control parameters; and (iii) …

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

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 Motor deficits are the most common symptoms after stroke. There is some
evidence that intensity and amount of exercises influence the degree of improvement of …

Background: Robot-assisted arm training is generally delivered in the robot-like manner of
planar or mechanical 3-dimensional movements. It remains unclear whether integrating …

An important goal in rehabilitation engineering is to develop technology that allows
individuals with severe motor impairment to practice arm movement without continuous …
