The ARAMIS project: a concept robot and technical design.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the ARAMIS (Automatic Recovery Arm Motility Integrated System) project, a concept robot applicable in the neuro-rehabilitation of the paretic upper limb after stroke. Methods, results and conclusion: The rationale and ... Read more...

Robot-assisted rehabilitation of the paretic upper limb: rationale of the ARAMIS project.

30 Oct 2009 Robot ARAMIS (Automatic Recovery Arm Motility Integrated System) is intended to provide the therapist with novel and time/cost-efficient approaches to the rehabilitation of the paretic upper limb after stroke. The system has been designed and ... Read more...

Orthopaedic issues in the musculoskeletal care of adults with cerebral palsy.

29 Sep 2009 AIMS: Orthopaedic care of adults with cerebral palsy (CP) has not been well documented in orthopaedic literature. This paper focuses on some of the common problems which present themselves when adults with CP seek orthopaedic intervention. In ... Read more...
