Exercises for paretic upper limb after stroke: a combined virtual-reality and telemedicine approach.

30 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVE: Telerehabilitation enables a remotely controlled programme to be used to treat motor deficits in post-stroke patients. The effects of this telerehabilitation approach were compared with traditional motor rehabilitation methods. DESIGN: ... 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...

Virtual reality and motor rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke: a generation of progress?

30 Oct 2009 AIM: To review the rationale, criteria of application, potentialities and limits of the available procedures for upper limb rehabilitation in virtual reality setups. METHODS: Classification of the available virtual reality setups and comparison ... Read more...
