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...

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...
