Effects of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Upper Limb Recovery After Stroke: A Systematic Review
TL;DR: Future research into the effects of robot-assisted therapy should distinguish between upper and lower robotics arm training and concentrate on kinematical analysis to differentiate between genuine upper limb motor recovery and functional recovery due to compensation strategies by proximal control of the trunk and upper limb.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robot-aided neurorehabilitation
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that robot-aided therapy does not have adverse effects, that patients tolerate the procedure, and that peripheral manipulation of the impaired limb may influence brain recovery, and one approach using kinematic data in a robot- aided assessment procedure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Robot-Assisted Therapy for Long-Term Upper-Limb Impairment after Stroke

Bever,Dawn M. Bravata,Pamela W. Duncan,Barbara H. Corn,Alysia D. Maffucci,Stephen E. Nadeau,Susan S. Conroy,Janet M. Powell,Grant D. Huang,Peter Peduzzi +20 more
TL;DR: In patients with long-term upper-limb deficits after stroke, robot-assisted therapy did not significantly improve motor function at 12 weeks, as compared with usual care or intensive therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Movement smoothness changes during stroke recovery.
Brandon Rohrer,Susan E. Fasoli,Hermano Igo Krebs,Richard Hughes,Bruce T. Volpe,Walter R. Frontera,Joel Stein,Neville Hogan +7 more
TL;DR: According to the fifth metric, the movements of patients with recent stroke grew less smooth over the course of therapy, suggesting that progressive blending of submovements underlies stroke recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rehabilitation Robotics: Performance-Based Progressive Robot-Assisted Therapy
Hermano Igo Krebs,J.J. Palazzolo,Laura Dipietro,Mark Ferraro,Jennifer Krol,K. Rannekleiv,Bruce T. Volpe,Neville Hogan +7 more
TL;DR: A proposed method to achieve this goal is a novel performance-based impedance control algorithm, which is triggered via speed, time, or EMG, which has already noted one very strong benefit, a significant reduction in arm tone.
