...RT-UL can offer patients feedback about position and force and is typically supported by games that facilitate functional use of the upper paretic limb.(14,15) An alternative classification of upper limb robotics can be based on the number of joints (ie, arm segments), and hence the degrees of freedom that they control in upper limb performance out of basic motor synergies (ie, synergy-independent movements)....

...However, our review also confirms that the effects of the technologically more complex and expensive exoskeleton devices have been insufficiently investigated.(15) Therefore, our conclusions with respect to robot type should be interpreted with caution, since the statistical power of all trials was low, * References 31, 34, 36, 37, 39, 42, 45, 47-49, 52, 56, 58, 67-69, 74, 75....

...Nevertheless, it is believed that LFP recordings are the most informative signals of the underlying neural activity generated by an ensemble of coupled neurons (Buzsáki et al., 2012)....

...…the direct relationship between neuronal activity and EEG recordings it is not well defined because the electrical activity, generated by thousands of neurons, must diffuse through various media (cerebrospinal fluid, dura mater, cranium, muscle and skin) that distort and attenuate the signals....
