Upper extremity rehabilitation using interactive virtual environments
… leading cause of major disability. Recovery of upper extremity function remains particularly resistant to intervention, with 80% to 95% of persons demonstrating residual upper extremity impairments lasting beyond six months after the stroke. The NJIT Robot Assistive Virtual Rehabilitation …

Adaptable videogame platform for interactive upper extremity rehabilitation
… of this work is to design a recreational rehabilitation videogame platform for customizing motivating games that interactively encourage purposeful upper extremity gross motor movements. Virtual reality (VR) technology is a popular application for rehabilitation therapies but there is a …

Assessment of a hand exoskeleton on proximal and distal training in virtual environments for robot mediated upper extremity rehabilitation
… functional recovery of the paretic limb. Robotic rehabilitation may present an exercise intervention that can improve training and induce motor plasticity in individuals with stroke. An active (motorized) hand exoskeleton that provides support for wrist flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, …

MIT Skywalker : a novel robot for gait rehabilitation of stroke and cerebral palsy patients
… intensive physical and occupational therapy. Upper extremity rehabilitation robotics is well established and recommended by the American Heart Association, the Veterans Administration, and the Department of Defense; however, lower extremity rehabilitation robots are still in their infancy, so …

Virtual reality based upper extremity stroke rehabilitation system.
… can achieve improved results in post stroke rehabilitation. Despite the wealth of ongoing research applied to trying to build a virtual reality based system for upper extremity rehabilitation, there still exists a strong need for a training platform that would provide whole arm …

Utilization of auditory cues to enhance therapy for children with cerebral palsy
… in neurological fields as well as in music-based rehabilitation and therapy. RAS is a method in which the rhythm functions as a sensory cue to induce temporal stability and enhancement of movement patterns by what is believed to be a temporal constraint of the patient’s internal optimized path of …

An artificial skeletal muscle for use in pediatric rehabilitation robotics
… of daily life (ADLs) rely heavily upon upper extremity function; and those with impaired reaching ability are at great risk for delays in these areas. While increasing user ADL independence, automated assistive devices may potentially increase the dose of interaction, which may enhance …
