Myoelectrically controlled wrist robot for stroke rehabilitation [PDF]
Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2013 AbstractBackgroundRobot-assisted rehabilitation is an advanced new technology in stroke rehabilitation to provide intensive training. Post-stroke motor recovery depends on active rehabilitation by voluntary participation of patient’s paretic motor system as early as possible in order to promote reorganization of brain. However, voluntary residual motor
