Develop a wearable ankle robot for in-bed acute stroke rehabilitation

Boy does this make a lot of sense, especially with all the downtime a survivor spends in bed with no therapy available. I used something similar to this when I was in a research study on ankle movement,
I was trying to follow a jagged line while in an MRI machine. It was difficult since I wasn't wearing my glasses and things were quite blurry. Pictures at the URL.

ACUTE stroke survivors are actively trained with activities helpful for recovery of mobility in only 13% of the time and they are left alone in more than 60% of the time in early post-acute rehabilitation window [1]. Considering the first few months post stroke is critical in stroke recovery (neuroplasticity) [2], there is a strong need for active movement therapy and manipulate/mobilize the joints early in acute stroke rehabilitation. This project seeks a feasible solution which can meet this clinic need and deliver well-controlled passive stretching and motivating active movement therapy with robotic assistance/resistance for better motor re-learning in acute stage.
