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 …
