Background. A recent Cochrane Review showed that early robotic training of the upper limb
in stroke survivors can be more effective than other interventions when improving activities …

Stroke is the first cause of disability. Several robotic devices have been developed for stroke
rehabilitation. Robot therapy by NeReBot is demonstrated to be an effective tool for the …

Objectives: To study the correlation between quantitative ultrasound (QUS) expressed as
stiffness index (SI) and the risk of aseptic loosening of knee arthroplasty. Methods: An …

Objective. The aim of the study was to present a systematic review of studies that investigate
the effects of robot-assisted therapy on motor and functional recovery in patients with stroke. …

Background/Objective. The authors previously developed a passive instrumented arm
orthosis (Therapy Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton [T-WREX]) that enables individuals with …

Based on the principles of neuroplasticity, the purpose of this crossover study was to determine
if improvement in upper extremity (UE) function and independence could be achieved in …

Background. Although rehabilitation therapy is commonly provided after stroke, many
patients do not derive maximal benefit because of access, cost, and compliance. A …

Background. Kinematic and kinetic measurements used in laboratory settings can quantify
upper extremity movement impairment following stroke, but their relationship to clinical …

Background. High-intensity repetitive training is challenging to provide poststroke. Robotic
approaches can facilitate such training by unweighting the limb and/or by improving trajectory …

… We would like to thank Gregorio Ferlini, MD, and Alice Chiasera, MD, from the Neuromotor
Rehabilitation Unit, Eremo Hospital, Arco (Trento, Italy), who helped with patient enrollment. …
