A follow-up on humanoid-mediated stroke physical rehabilitation

Abstract

We report the results of standardized tests on a single subject with a stroke at 4, 20 and 28 weeks after completion of the study. These results follow from previous work[1]. The subject demonstrated sustained improvement in motor function 28 weeks after completing the study. In addition to quantitative results, the questionnaire results by the subject and the spouse testify that the subjective user experience was also positive. This further advocates the use of general purpose robots to complement human therapists.
