Upper limb motor deficits in severe stroke survivors often remain unresolved over extended
time periods. Novel neurotechnologies have the potential to significantly support upper limb …

Purpose Stroke, spinal cord injury and other neuromuscular disorders lead to impairments in
the human body. Upper limb impairments, especially hand impairments affect activities of …

Background A novel electromechanical robotic-exoskeleton was designed in-house for the
rehabilitation of wrist joint and Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint. Objective The objective …

This article presents a novel electromyography (EMG)-driven exoneuromusculoskeleton that
integrates the neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), soft pneumatic muscle, and …

Background Robotic systems combined with Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES) showed
promising results on upper-limb motor recovery after stroke, but adequately-sized …

Despite more than thirty-five years of research on wearable technologies to assist the upper-
limb and a multitude of promising preliminary results, the goal of restoring pre-impairment …

Several recent studies have indicated that upper extremity injuries are classified as a top
common workplace injury. Therefore, upper extremity rehabilitation has become a leading …

Background and Purpose: Limited research has been conducted with the aim of
understanding which upper extremity movements are difficult for persons with severe …

Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is capable of activating muscles that are under-
recruited in neurological diseases, such as stroke. Therefore, FES provides a promising …

Background Different mechanical supporting strategies to the joints in the upper extremity
(UE) may lead to varied rehabilitative effects after stroke. This study compared the …
