Impact of Visual Feedback Configurations in a Task-Oriented Immersive Virtual Reality Mirror Therapy 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Mirror Therapy is a form of upper limb therapy in stroke, which consists on showing the mirrored symmetric movement of the unimpaired side using a mirror placed in the medial… read more

Identification of Spared and Proportionally Controllable Hand Motor Dimensions in Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injuries Using Latent Manifold Analysis

Identification of Spared and Proportionally Controllable Hand Motor Dimensions in Motor Complete Spinal Cord Injuries Using Latent Manifold Analysis 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
The loss of bilateral hand function is a debilitating challenge for millions of individuals that suffered a motor-complete spinal cord injury (SCI). We have recently demonstrated in eight tetraplegic individuals… read more

Restoring of Interhemispheric Symmetry in Patients With Stroke Following Bilateral or Unilateral Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Restoring of Interhemispheric Symmetry in Patients With Stroke Following Bilateral or Unilateral Robot-Assisted Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Bilateral robotic rehabilitation has proven helpful in the recovery of upper limb motor function in patients with stroke, but its effects on the cortical reorganization mechanisms underlying recovery are still… read more

AMBER: A Device for Hand Motor and Cognitive Rehabilitation—Development and Proof of Concept

AMBER: A Device for Hand Motor and Cognitive Rehabilitation—Development and Proof of Concept 150 150 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)
Stroke survivors usually exhibit concurrent motor and cognitive impairment. Historically, rehabilitation strategies post-stroke occur separately in terms of motor and cognitive functions. However, recent studies show that hand motor interventions… read more

Experimental results using force-feedback cueing in robot-assisted stroke therapy

Author(s)3: Michelle J. Johnson, H. F. Machiel Van der Loos, C.G. Burgar
Experimental results using force-feedback cueing in robot-assisted stroke therapy 512 245 Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering (TNSRE)

Abstract:Stroke is the leading cause of disability among adults in the United States. Behaviors such as learned nonuse hinder hemiplegic stroke survivors from the full use of both arms in…
