Robotic technology designed to assist rehabilitation can potentially increase the efficiency
of, and accessibility to, therapy by assisting therapists to provide consistent training for …

This review paper defines NeuroRehabilitation Mechatronics (NRM) as an overlap between
two areas of applied science: Bio-mechatronics and Neural Engineering. NRM is an …

Ankle movement training is important in motor recovery post stroke and early intervention is
critical to stroke rehabilitation. However, acute stroke survivors receive motor rehabilitation …

Objective It is still not clarified whether spasticity contributes to impairments of gait function.
Here we compared biomechanical measures of muscle weakness and stiffness of ankle …

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential for shear wave elastography
(SWE) to measure passive biceps brachii individual muscle stiffness as a musculoskeletal …

Objective. This review aims to provide a systematical investigation of clinical effectiveness of
active training strategies applied in platform‐based ankle robots. Method. English‐language …

Robotics is rapidly emerging as a viable approach to enhance motor recovery after disabling
stroke. Current principles of cognitive motor learning recognize a positive relationship …

There is an increasing research interest in exploring use of robotic devices for the physical
therapy of patients suffering from stroke and spinal cord injuries. Rehabilitation of patients …

Because the dynamics of wrist rotations are dominated by stiffness, understanding wrist
rotations requires a thorough characterization of wrist stiffness in multiple degrees of …

Many stroke survivors have limited ankle range of motion (ROM) caused by weak
dorsiflexors and stiff plantarflexors. Passive ankle stretching exercises with physical …
