Robotic Orthosis for Upper Limb Rehabilitation [PDF]
The 1st International Electronic Conference on Actuator Technology: Materials, Devices and Applications, 2020 Subjects with impaired upper limb have motor limitations that interfere with their ability to independently perform activities of daily living. An alternative rehabilitation consists of Robot Assisted Therapy, a method that increases the intensity, dosage and consequently the effectiveness of the treatment.

Robotic and Sensor Technology for Upper Limb Rehabilitation [PDF]
PM&R, 2018 AbstractRobotic and sensor‐based neurologic rehabilitation for the upper limb is an established concept for motor learning and is recommended in many national guidelines. The complexity of the human hands and arms and the different activities of daily living are leading to an approach in which robotic and sensor‐based devices are used in combination to

A Review on Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robots [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2020 Rehabilitation is the process of treating post-stroke consequences. Impaired limbs are considered the common outcomes of stroke, which require a professional therapist to rehabilitate the impaired limbs and restore fully or partially its function. Due to the shortage in the number of therapists and other considerations, researchers have been working on
