“…These devices allow time-specific tasks to be executed repeatedly in a controlled and reliable way, as this has been shown to be a determining factor in facilitating cortical reorganization, allowing a concomitant increase in motor ability and improved functional activity performance (Liepert, 2006). Recent evidence has shown that intensive repetition of movements could make a useful contribution to clinical practice (Kawahira et al, 2010), constituting a promising approach for patients affected by motor impairments due to neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (Gijbels et al, 2011), cervical spinal cord injuries (Zariffa et al, 2012), and chronic stroke (Krebs et al, 2002;Macclellan et al, 2005;Sanchez et al, 2006;Masiero et al, 2007;Colombo et al, 2008;Kwakkel et al, 2008). Indeed, the use of devices designed to intensify therapy in the single patient could be a promising field of investigation (Masiero et al, 2009).…”
