Background Physical therapy (PT) is one of the key disciplines in interdisciplinary stroke
rehabilitation. The aim of this systematic review was to provide an update of the evidence for …

Introduction Muscle weakness is a common consequence of stroke and can result in a
decrease in physical activity. Changes in gait performance can be observed, especially a …

Background MUNDUS is an assistive framework for recovering direct interaction capability
of severely motor impaired people based on arm reaching and hand functions. It aims at …

Background and Purpose—This study assessed whether cycling induced by functional
electrical stimulation (FES) was more effective than passive cycling with placebo stimulation …

It has been largely suggested in neuroscience literature that to generate a vast variety of
movements, the Central Nervous System (CNS) recruits a reduced set of coordinated …

Background Electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerves has been shown to be effective in
restoring sensory and motor functions in the lower and upper extremities. This neural …

The use of Brain–Computer Interfaces (BCI) as rehabilitation tools for chronically ill
neurological patients has become more widespread. BCIs combined with other techniques …

Background Muscle synergies analysis can provide a deep understanding of motor
impairment after stroke and of changes after rehabilitation. In this study, the neuro …

A randomized controlled trial, involving 35 post-acute hemiparetic patients, demonstrated
that a four-week treatment of cycling induced by functional electrical stimulation (FES …

Objective To investigate the effects of various rehabilitative interventions aimed at
enhancing poststroke motor recovery by assessing their effectiveness when compared with …
