There is increasing interest in using robotic devices to assist in movement training following
neurologic injuries such as stroke and spinal cord injury. This paper reviews control …

Objective. The aim of the study was to present a systematic review of studies that investigate
the effects of robot-assisted therapy on motor and functional recovery in patients with stroke …

Conventional neurorehabilitation appears to have little impact on impairment over and
above that of spontaneous biological recovery. Robotic neurorehabilitation has the potential …

Robot-mediated post-stroke therapy for the upper-extremity dates back to the 1990s. Since
then, a number of robotic devices have become commercially available. There is clear …

Background It is the purpose of this article to identify and review criteria that rehabilitation
technology should meet in order to offer arm-hand training to stroke patients, based on …

Synergies are thought to be the building blocks of vertebrate movements. The inability to
execute synergies in properly timed and graded fashion precludes adequate functional …

Abstract Background and Purpose: The purpose of this pilot study was to investigate the
impact of assisted motor training in a virtual environment on hand function in stroke …

Chronic hand impairment is common following stroke. While mass practice of movement has
shown promise for rehabilitation, initial impairment of the hand may be too severe to permit …

In this paper, we present a retrospective and chronological review of our efforts to
revolutionize the way physical medicine is practiced by developing and deploying …

BACKGROUND: Combining tDCS with robotic therapy is a new and promising form of
neurorehabilitation after stroke, however the effectiveness of this approach is likely to be …
