Since the late 1990s, there has been a burst of research on robotic devices for poststroke
rehabilitation. Robot-mediated therapy produced improvements on recovery of motor …

Upper-limb impairment after stroke is caused by weakness, loss of individual joint control,
spasticity, and abnormal synergies. Upper-limb movement frequently involves abnormal …

This study aimed to assess the physiological consequences of using an upper limb
exoskeleton during manual handling task, as muscle activity, upper limb kinematics, postural …

Background Soft wearable robots (exosuits), being lightweight, ergonomic and low power-
demanding, are attractive for a variety of applications, ranging from strength augmentation in …

When developing robotic exoskeletons, the design of physical connections between the
device and the human limb to which it is connected is a crucial problem. Indeed, using an …

Background Exoskeletons for lower and upper extremities have been introduced in
neurorehabilitation because they can guide the patient's limb following its anatomy, covering …

The field of rehabilitation robotics considers robotic systems that 1) provide therapy for
persons seeking to recover their physical, social, communication, or cognitive function …

There has been a dramatic increase over the last decade in research on technologies for
enhancing movement training and exercise for people with a disability. This paper reviews …

In the modern world, due to an increased aging population, hand disability is becoming
increasingly common. The prevalence of conditions such as stroke is placing an ever …

For human-robot co-manipulation by robotic exoskeletons, the interaction forces provide a
communication channel through which the human and the robot can coordinate their …
