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 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 …

Background Loss of arm function is a common problem after stroke. Robot-assisted training
might improve arm function and activities of daily living. We compared the clinical …

The development of highly sensitive pressure sensors with a low-cost and facile fabrication
technique is desirable for electronic skins and wearable sensing devices. Here a low-cost …

The recovery of hand function is one of the most challenging topics in stroke rehabilitation.
Although the robot‐assisted therapy has got some good results in the latest decades, the …

The training for both translation and rotation of the hand is desirable for patients with
impairments. This paper focuses on the design and control of a 7-degree-of-freedom cable …

In 1991, a novel robot, MIT-MANUS, was introduced to study the potential that robots might
assist in and quantify the neuro-rehabilitation of motor function. MIT-MANUS proved an …

To realize ideal force control of robots that interact with a human, a very precise actuating
system with zero impedance is desired. For such applications, a rotary series elastic actuator …

Background Following acute therapeutic interventions, the majority of stroke survivors are
left with a poorly functioning hemiparetic hand. Rehabilitation robotics has shown promise in …

Stroke is one of the leading causes of long-term disability today; therefore, many research
efforts are focused on designing maximally effective and efficient treatment methods. In …
