Robots are effective tools for aiding in the restoration of hand function through rehabilitation
programs or by providing in-task assistance. To date, a multitude of exoskeletal devices …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers better visualization for diagnosis, interventional
radiology, and surgery from other imaging modalities without X-ray exposure. Medical robots …

Background: Besides efficacy with regard to workload, subjective evaluation (wearing
comfort and discomfort, and user acceptance) is an important secondary outcome to …

Limited research has been conducted on hand exoskeletons for an augmentative role. Hand
and wrist exoskeletons for therapeutic purposes, however, are widely researched featuring …

The current state of the art in systems and actuators for controlling soft exoskeletons is
reviewed. The most important prototypes of flexible actuators are studied. Applications of …

Medical imaging offers a comprehensive approach to studying complex sensorimotor
processes in the brain, like motor learning and plasticity. While neural correlates of human …

Upper motor neuron injuries such as traumatic brain injury and stroke can cause
hemiparesis and subsequent hand impairment. Repeated hand movements in physical …

This paper proposes a hand exoskeleton system for evaluating hand functions. To evaluate
hand functions, the hand exoskeleton system must be able to pull each finger joint, measure …

High-risk diseases such as stroke can do great harm to human hands. Hand rehabilitation
for stroke patients is a complex and necessary task. To achieve this goal, this paper …

Wearable robots typically signify a specific solution for a specific problem or task rather than
a generalized solution adaptable to different purposes, such as preventive care, health …
