Assistive-as-needed strategy for upper-limb robotic systems: An initial survey
Stroke is amongst the leading causes of deprivation of one’s ability in carrying out activities of daily living. It has been reported from literature that, the functional recovery of stroke patients are rather poor, unless frequent rehabilitative therapy is assumed on the affected limb. Recent tr...

| Summary: | Stroke is amongst the leading causes of deprivation of one’s ability in carrying out
activities of daily living. It has been reported from literature that, the functional recovery of
stroke patients are rather poor, unless frequent rehabilitative therapy is assumed on the affected
limb. Recent trends of rehabilitation therapy have also shifted towards allowing more
participation of the patient in the therapy session rather than simple passive treatments as it has
been demonstrated to be non-trivial in promoting neural plasticity to expedite motor recovery
process. Therefore, the employment of rehabilitation robotics is seen as a means of mitigating
the limitations of conventional rehabilitation therapy. It enables unique methods for promoting
patient engagement by providing patients assistance only as needed basis. This paper attempts
on reviewing assist-as-needed control strategy applied on upper-limb robotic rehabilitation
devices. |
