The past decades have seen rapid and vast developments of robots for the rehabilitation of
sensorimotor deficits after damage to the central nervous system (CNS). Many of these …

Robot-Assisted Therapy (RT) is an innovative approach to neurological rehabilitation that
uses intensive, repetitive, interactive, and individualized practice. This systematic review …

Background Although it is well established that lower limb joint angles adapt to walking at
various speeds, limited research has examined the modifications in joint angular velocity …

Motor system uses muscle synergies as a modular organization to simplify the control of
movements. Motor cortical impairments, such as stroke and spinal cord injuries, disrupt the …

Background Following spasticity, neural and mechanical changes of the paretic muscle
often occur, which affect the muscle function. The aim of this study was to investigate the …

Muscle spasticity is characterized by exaggerated stretch reflexes and affects about 85% of
the children with cerebral palsy. However, the mechanisms underlying spasticity and its …

In this review, we will work around two simple definitions of two different entities, which most
often co-exist in patients with lesions to central motor pathways: Spasticity is “Enhanced …

Background and purpose: The MyotonPRO is a portable device that measures muscle tone
and biomechanical muscle properties objectively. MyotonPRO has already proven to be …

Objective The present study evaluated ankle stiffness in adults with and without neurological
disorders and investigated the accuracy and reproducibility of a clinically applicable method …

Poststroke deficits in upper extremity function occur during activities of daily living due to
motor impairments of the paretic arm, including weakness and abnormal synergies, both of …
