“…Such approaches include constrained-induced movement therapy for patients with partial functional deficits (TAUB et aL, 1993), as well as repetitive training techniques (FEYS et al, 1998) biofeedback (SCHLEENBAKER and MAINOUS, 1993) and functional electrical stimulation (e.g. SONDE et al, 1998) for patients with severe arm paresis.…”

Task-oriented repetitive movements can improve muscle strength and movement co-ordination in patients with impairments due to neurological lesions. The application of robotics and automation technology can serve to assist, enhance, evaluate and document the rehabilitation of movements. The paper provides an overview of existing devices that can support movement therapy of the upper extremities in subjects with neurological pathologies. The devices are critically compared with respect to technical function, clinical applicability, and, if they exist, clinical outcomes.

“…In contrast, Inglis et al showed that, compared with conventional therapy, biofeedback improved functional properties, such as muscle force, active range of movement, and motor recovery of patients with hemiplegia [80]. Several further studies reported positive functional effects of EMG biofeedback applied to stroke patients [81][82].…”

Abstract-Robot-aided gait training can increase the duration and number of training sessions while reducing the number of therapists required for each patient. However, current automated gait trainers do not adapt their movement to the patient's muscular efforts and passive musculoskeletal properties. Furthermore, robot-aided training without therapists lacks the feedback required for patient assessment. In this article, we present results from the literature and our research to provide an overview of novel human-centered strategies for robot behaviors that are patient-cooperative and support motorfunction assessment. Combining robot-aided training with robot-aided assessment will likely make future gait therapy easier, more comfortable, and more efficient. Broad clinical testing is still required for proving this assumption.

“…Apart from the many clinical studies which have been carried out, the designs of which range from case studies to randomized controlled trials, there have also been several attempts to synthesize the findings from different studies in reviews or metaanalyses. Most of these focus on one specific intervention, such as EMG biofeedback, [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] or electrostimulation. 10,11 With regard to exercise therapy, many literature reviews do not present separate results for the upper and lower extremity.…”

population-based Copenhagen Stroke Study, it was found that on admission 32% of the stroke patients had severe arm paresis and 37% had mild arm paresis. 1 In 64 (13%) out of 491 surviving patients, the affected arm remained entirely a-functional, despite the efforts of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme. These patients accounted for 25% of the total number of bed-days for all 491 patients. 2 In recent Objective: Assessment of the available evidence for the effectiveness of exercise therapy to improve arm function in patients who have suffered from a stroke. Methods: A systematic search of bibliographical databases and reference checking were performed to identify publications on randomized controlled trials (RCTs) which evaluated the effect of exercise therapy on arm function in stroke patients. The methodological quality was assessed systematically by two raters, based on a standardized list of methodological criteria. Study characteristics, such as the chronicity and severity of impairment of the patient population, the amount and duration of interventions, and specific methodological criteria, were related to reported effects.
