Exoskeleton robotics has ushered in a new era of modern neuromuscular rehabilitation
engineering and assistive technology research. The technology promises to improve the …

Since the late 1990s, there has been a burst of research on robotic devices for poststroke
rehabilitation. Robot-mediated therapy produced improvements on recovery of motor …

Background Arm hemiparesis secondary to stroke is common and disabling. We aimed to
assess whether robotic training of an affected arm with ARMin—an exoskeleton robot that …

Technology-supported rehabilitation therapy for neurological patients has gained increasing
interest since the last decades. The literature agrees that the goal of robots should be to …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability today; therefore, many research
efforts are focused on designing maximally effective and efficient treatment methods. In …

The development of robotic devices for rehabilitation is a fast-growing field. Nowadays,
thanks to novel technologies that have improved robots' capabilities and offered more cost …

Background Several strategies have been proposed to improve patient motivation and
exercise intensity during robot-aided stroke rehabilitation. One relatively unexplored …

Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and loss
of motor function. Millions of people around the world are effected by it each year. Stroke …

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 People with chronic arm impairment should exercise intensely to regain their
abilities, but frequently lack motivation, leading to poor rehabilitation outcome. One …
