Exoneuromusculoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation After Stroke
Recruiting now · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Upper Limb Rehabilitation
In brief
A new clothing robotic arm was developed for multi-joint coordinated upper limb rehabilitation after stroke. Patients after stroke will be recruited to evaluate the rehabilitation effectiveness of the device assisted upper limb rehabilitation. Both patients with chronic stroke and subacute stroke will be investigated.
