Abstract:
The
occurrence of strokes has been progressively increasing. Upper limb
recovery after stroke is more difficult than lower limb. One of the
rapidly expanding technologies in post-stroke rehabilitation is
robot-aided therapy. The advantage of robots is that they are able to
deliver highly repetitive therapeutic tasks with minimal supervision of a
therapist. However, from the literature, the focus of robotic design in
stroke rehabilitation has been technology-driven. Clinical and
therapeutic requirements were not seriously considered in the design of
rehabilitation robots. The purpose of this study was twofold: (1)
demonstrate the missing elements of current robot-aided therapy; (2)
identify design factors and opportunities of rehabilitation robots (in
upper-limb training after stroke). In this study, we performed a
literature review on articles relevant to rehabilitation robots in
upper-limb training after stroke. We identified the design foci of
current rehabilitation robots for upper limb stroke recovery. Using the
therapeutic framework for stroke rehabilitation in occupational therapy,
we highlighted design factors and opportunities of rehabilitation
robots. The outcomes of this study benefit the robotics design community
in the design of rehabilitation robots.
