Several studies have reported the effects of robotic arms on improving upper limb function in
patients with stroke. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings that may …

Sensorimotor deficits following stroke often result in loss of independence and are a leading
cause of long-term disability. 1, 2 These impairments can include weakness, spasticity, and …

In today's world, a large number of people suffer from motor impairment-related challenges.
Rehabilitation is the main method used to overcome these difficulties. The goal of the paper …

Background The aging of the population and the progressive increase in life expectancy in
developed countries is leading to a high incidence of cerebrovascular diseases. Several …

Persons post-stroke experience excessive muscle co-contraction, and consequently the arm

Introduction Stroke is the second leading cause of death in Europe. In the case of stroke
survival (almost 70%), only 25% of patients recover completely, while the remaining 75 …

Purpose Wearable robotic devices are currently being developed to improve upper limb
function for individuals with hemiparesis after stroke. Incorporating the views of clinicians …

Upper limb impairments and weakness are com-mon post-stroke and with advanced aging.
Rigid exoskeletons have been developed as a potential solution, but have had limited …

Most of motor recovery usually occurs within the first 3 months after stroke. Herein is
reported a remarkable late recovery of the right upper-limb motor function after a left middle …
