Rehabilitation robotics is an emerging research field that aims to employ
leading-edge robotic technology and virtual reality systems in the rehabilitation
treatment of neuro-logical patients. In post-stroke patients with upper limb
impairment, clinical trials have so far shown positive results in terms of motor
recovery, but poor efficacy in terms of functional outcome. Much work is needed
to develop a new generation of rehabilitation robots and clinical protocols that
will be more effective in helping patients to regain their abilities in
activities of daily living. This paper presents some key issues in the future
perspective of upper limb robotic rehabilitation after stroke.
