TLDR
An active rehabilitation that can be manipulated by patients through a haptic device and an inertia sensor to perform a tracking task in virtual environment with coordination training of bilateral upper extremity and an assessment system using 6-axis force sensor is presented.Abstract:
This paper presents a novel upper extremity motor function rehabilitation system and an assessment system. The rehabilitation system is an active rehabilitation that can be manipulated by patients through a haptic device and an inertia sensor to perform a tracking task in virtual environment with coordination training of bilateral upper extremity. The design of system aims to augment patients' force exerted by their upper extremity and the ability of force control, namely, dexterity. The structure of rehabilitation system is compact and the inertia of the haptic device's stylus is very small (only 45 g), which makes the system suitable for home-rehabilitation. Simultaneously, in order to assess the effect of rehabilitation, an assessment system has been developed using a 6-axis force sensor. The proposed rehabilitation system is testified experimentally for the upper limbs' rehabilitation training.read more

Adaptive assistance for guided force training in chronic stroke
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a novel form of robotic therapy for the upper extremity in chronic stroke, which encourages subjects to consciously guide endpoint forces generated by the hemiparetic arm.
Design Process of Exoskeleton Rehabilitation Device and Implementation of Bilateral Upper Limb Motor Movement
Zhibin Song,Shuxiang Guo +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an upper limb exoskeleton rehabilitation device (ULERD) was developed for bilateral training, which has three active degrees of freedom (DoFs) in the elbow and wrist joints, and an additional four passive DoFs at these joints to correct any misalignment between the human and device joints.

Muscle Strength Assessment System Using sEMG-Based Force Prediction Method for Wrist Joint
Songyuan Zhang,Shuxiang Guo,Shuxiang Guo,Baofeng Gao,Qiang Huang,Muye Pang,Hideyuki Hirata,Hidenori Ishihara +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a method for predicting muscle strength using only sEMG signals is proposed, which can provide acceptable prediction results for tele-assessment systems and is validated further in real-time by a remote predicted-force evaluation experiment.

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.

Constraint-Induced Movement Therapy: a new family of techniques with broad application to physical rehabilitation--a clinical review.
TL;DR: The CI Therapy approach has been used successfully to date for the upper limb of patients with Chronic and subacute CVA and patients with chronic traumatic brain injury and for the lower limb of Patients with CVA, incomplete spinal cord injury, and fractured hip and has recently been extended to focal hand dystonia of musicians and possibly phantom limb pain.

Mechanisms underlying recovery of motor function after stroke.
Nick S. Ward,Leonardo G. Cohen +1 more
TL;DR: An understanding of how central nervous system reorganisation plays in recovery of function will facilitate the development of novel therapeutic techniques that are based on neurobiological principles and that are designed to minimise impairment in appropriately targeted patients suffering from stroke.

MIME robotic device for upper-limb neurorehabilitation in subacute stroke subjects: A follow-up study.
TL;DR: Combined unilateral and bilateral robotic training had advantages compared with conventional therapy, producing larger improvements on a motor impairment scale and a measure of abnormal synergies, however, gains in all treatment groups were equivalent at the 6-month follow-up.
