Introduction: Robot-assisted therapy is an emerging approach that performs highly
repetitive, intensive, task oriented and quantifiable neuro-rehabilitation. In the last decades …

Background and objective A wide range of adjunct therapies after botulinum toxin
administration have been proposed. The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview …

Spasticity is a motor disorder that causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and can
interfere with normal movement, speech, and gait. Traditionally, the spasticity assessment is …

INTRODUCTION: During the last decades, many studies have been carried out to
understand the possible positive effects of vibration therapy in post-stroke rehabilitation. In …

The use of robotics in rehabilitating motor functions has increased exponentially in recent
decades. One of the most used robotic tools is undoubtedly the Armeo® Power, which has …

Intensive-Care-Unit-Acquired Weakness (ICU-AW) is the most common neuromuscular
impairment in critically ill patients and can have a significant impact on long-term disability …

Background: The efficacy of upper limb (UL) robot-assisted therapy (RAT) on functional
improvement after stroke remains unclear. However, recently published randomized …

Objective: To examine the treatment effect of commercially available robotic-assisted
devices, compared to traditional occupational-and physiotherapy on arm and hand function …

Modulation on cerebral cortex and cerebral networks can induce reorganization of the brain,
which contributes to rehabilitation. Previous studies have proved that focal vibration (FV) on …

Background Sensory stimulation can play a fundamental role in the activation of the primary
sensorimotor cortex (S1-M1), which can promote motor learning and M1 plasticity in stroke …
