Background Significant clinician training is required to mitigate the subjective nature and
achieve useful reliability between measurement occasions and therapists. Previous …

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 …

Electronic supplementary material Studies of stroke patients undergoing robot-assisted
rehabilitation have revealed various kinematic parameters describing movement quality of …

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/Objective. The authors previously developed a passive instrumented arm
orthosis (Therapy Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton [T-WREX]) that enables individuals with …

Objective To investigate the effect of robot-assisted therapy (RAT) on upper limb motor
control and activity function in poststroke patients compared with that of non-robotic therapy …

Background Several studies investigating the use of electromyographic (EMG) signals in
robot-based stroke neuro-rehabilitation to enhance functional recovery. Here we explored …

Background Quantitative measures of human movement quality are important for
discriminating healthy and pathological conditions and for expressing the outcomes and …

Based on the suboptimal research pathways that finally led to multicenter randomized
clinical trials (MRCTs) of treadmill training with partial body weight support and of robotic …

Traditional assessment of a stroke subject's motor ability, carried out by a therapist who
observes and rates the subject's motor behavior using ordinal measurements scales, is …
