During
the last decade, different robotic devices have been developed for
motor rehabilitation of stroke survivors. These devices have been shown
to improve motor impairment and contribute to the understanding of
mechanisms underlying motor recovery after a stroke. The assessment of
the robotic technology for rehabilitation assumes great importance. The
aim of this study is to present preliminary results on the assessment of
the acceptability of the robotic technology for rehabilitation on a
group of thirty-four chronic stroke patients. The results from
questionnaires on the patients’ acceptability of two different
robot-assisted rehabilitation scenarios show that the robotic approach
was well accepted and tolerated by the patients.
