Robot-mediated post-stroke therapy for the upper-extremity dates back to the 1990s. Since
then, a number of robotic devices have become commercially available. There is clear …

Neuromotor disorders negatively affect the sensorimotor system, limiting the ability to
perform daily activities autonomously. Rehabilitation of upper limb impairments is therefore …

Background Hand function is often impaired after stroke, strongly affecting the ability to
perform daily activities. Upper limb robotic devices have been developed to complement …

Stroke is one of the most common causes of physical disability, and early, intensive, and
repetitive rehabilitation exercises are crucial to the recovery of stroke survivors …

Background. Stroke is one of the most common causes of physical disability worldwide. The
majority of survivors experience impairment of movement, often with lasting deficits affecting …

Objective The objective of this study was the evaluation of the clinical and
neurophysiological effects of intensive robot-assisted hand therapy compared to intensive …

Background. No strongly clinical evidence about the use of hand robot‐assisted therapy in
stroke patients was demonstrated. This preliminary observer study was aimed at evaluating …

Treatment options for stroke survivors with severe hand impairment are limited. Active task
practice can be restricted by difficulty in voluntarily activating finger muscles and interference …

Background Evidence of superiority of robot training for the hand over classical therapies in
stroke patients remains controversial. During the subacute stage, hand training is likely to be …

Many mechatronic devices exist to facilitate hand rehabilitation, however few directly
address deficits in muscle activation patterns while also enabling functional task practice …
