Robot-Aided Neurorehabilitation: A Robot for Wrist Rehabilitation

Abstract: In 1991, a novel robot, MIT-MANUS, was introduced to study the potential that robots might assist in and quantify the neuro-rehabilitation of motor function. MIT-MANUS proved an excellent tool for shoulder and elbow rehabilitation in stroke patients, showing in clinical trials a reduction of impairment in movements confined to the exercised joints. This successful proof of principle as to additional targeted and intensive movement treatment prompted a test of robot training examining other limb segments. This … Show more

“…Numerous haptic devices have been developed for motor and neurological rehabilitation of upper limbs, and their effectiveness has been validated and presented in the last decade [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. While improved effectiveness over conventional treatment has not been convincingly shown, in general, the leading advantages of robotic rehabilitation over traditional therapy are-1.…”

“…Serial mechanism devices typically have between 1 and 3 degrees of freedom (DOFs), with the exception of those that have additional DOFs for wrist movement [21][22], while exoskeleton mechanisms typically have 7 DOFs. In general, a high number of DOFs in an exoskeleton mechanism trades affordability for functional versatility, impeding widespread use.…”
