Our study shows that nonspecific LBP is a frequent event in teenagers, particularly in females, sedentary children and those with a family history of LBP.

According to our results, NeReBot therapy may efficaciously complement standard post-stroke multidisciplinary rehabilitation and offer novel therapeutic strategies for neurological rehabilitation.

The successful motor rehabilitation of stroke patients requires an intensive and task-specific therapy approach. The plasticity of the adult human brain provides opportunities to enhance traditional rehabilitation programs for these individuals. Intensive robot-aided sensorimotor training may have a positive effect on reducing impairment and disability and increasing reorganization of the adult brain. This approach may therefore efficaciously complement standard post-stroke multidisciplinary programs as shown by recent experimental trials.

Among the various sensorimotor exercise strategies that may be added to rehabilitation of the post-stroke paralysed upper limb, robotic-aided therapy seems to represent a novel, realistic approach that can provide high-intensity, repetitive, task-specific intervention. We tested whether early additional sensorimotor training of the upper limb in poststroke patients, delivered by a robotic device, enhanced motor recovery and functional outcom
