Timely and adequate rehabilitation is critical in facilitating post-stroke recovery. However, the organization and delivery of rehabilitation are resource-demanding, and are only available to approximately 25% of stroke survivors in…
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide. The efficacy of recovery is determined by a variety of factors, including patient adherence to rehabilitation programs. One way to increase patient adherence to their…
Rehabilitation assessment is critical to determine an adequate intervention for a patient. However, the current practices of assessment mainly rely on therapist's experience, and assessment is infrequently executed due to the limited…
Rehabilitation is essential and critical for post-stroke patients, addressing both physical and cognitive aspects. Stroke predominantly affects older adults, with 75% of cases occurring in individuals aged 65 and older, underscoring the…
Stroke is known as a major global health problem, and for stroke survivors it is key to monitor the recovery levels. However, traditional stroke rehabilitation assessment methods (such as the popular clinical assessment) can be subjective…
Stroke rehabilitation continues to face challenges in accessibility and patient engagement, where traditional approaches often fall short. Virtual reality (VR)-based telerehabilitation offers a promising avenue, by enabling home-based…
Assessing the quality of movements for post-stroke patients during the rehabilitation phase is vital given that there is no standard stroke rehabilitation plan for all the patients. In fact, it depends basically on the patient's functional…
Stroke can have a severe impact on an individual's quality of life, leading to consequences such as motor loss and communication problems, especially among the elderly. Studies have shown that early and easy access to stroke rehabilitation…
Recovery after stroke is often incomplete, but rehabilitation training may potentiate recovery by engaging endogenous neuroplasticity. In preclinical models of stroke, high doses of rehabilitation training are required to restore functional…
Socially assistive robots are increasingly being explored to improve the engagement of older adults and people with disability in health and well-being-related exercises. However, even if people have various physical conditions, most prior…
Effective stroke recovery requires continuous rehabilitation integrated with daily living. To support this need, we propose a home-based rehabilitation exercise and feedback system. The system consists of (1) hardware setup with RGB-D…
Stroke patients with upper limb motor impairments are re-acclimated to their corresponding motor functionalities through therapeutic interventions. Physiotherapists typically assess these functionalities using various qualitative protocols.…
Neurological disorders, including stroke, spinal cord injuries, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson's disease, generally lead to diminished upper extremity (UE) function, impacting individuals' independence and quality of life. Traditional…
The main purpose of the paper is development, implementation, and testing of a low-cost portable system to assist partially paralyzed patients in their hand rehabilitation after strokes or some injures. Rehabilitation includes time…
Recent advancements in technology have improved the connectivity between humans enhancing the transfer of information. Leveraging these technological marvels in the healthcare industry has led to the development of telehealth allowing…
Stroke represents the third cause of death and disability worldwide, and is recognised as a significant global health problem. A major challenge for stroke survivors is persistent hand dysfunction, which severely affects the ability to…
The research of a socially assistive robot has a potential to augment and assist physical therapy sessions for patients with neurological and musculoskeletal problems (e.g. stroke). During a physical therapy session, generating personalized…
Despite advancements in rehabilitation protocols, clinical assessment of upper extremity (UE) function after stroke largely remains subjective, relying heavily on therapist observation and coarse scoring systems. This subjectivity limits…
Physical movement therapy is a crucial method of rehabilitation aimed at reinstating mobility among patients facing motor dysfunction due to neurological conditions or accidents. Such therapy is usually featured as patient-specific,…
Rehabilitation exercises are essential to ensure speedy recovery of stroke patients. An automated system to assist the patient in performing a rehabilitation exercise repeatedly is designed. The design process is presented in this report.
