The past decades have seen rapid and vast developments of robots for the rehabilitation of
sensorimotor deficits after damage to the central nervous system (CNS). Many of these …

There is a lack of consistency among researchers and clinicians in the use of terminology
that describes changes in motor ability following neurological injury. Specifically, the terms …

The primary focus of rehabilitation for individuals with loss of upper limb movement as a
result of acquired brain injury is the relearning of specific motor skills and daily tasks. This …

In recent years, concepts and tools from dynamical systems theory have been successfully
applied to the study of movement systems, contradicting traditional views of variability as …

A major prerequisite for successful rehabilitation therapy after stroke is the understanding of
the mechanisms underlying motor deficits common to these patients. Studies have shown …

Longitudinal studies show that almost all stroke patients experience at least some
predictable degree of functional recovery in the first six months post stroke. However, the …

Objective: To determine the evidence for physical therapy interventions aimed at improving
functional outcome after stroke. Methods: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane Central Register of …

Objective. To explain and underscore the use of principal component analysis in clinical
biomechanics as an expedient, unbiased means for reducing high-dimensional data sets to …

This paper provides an analysis of the literature on trunk muscle recruitment in low-back
pain patients. Two models proposed in the literature, the pain–spasm–pain model and the …
