Advances in Rehabilitation and Assistive Robots for Restoring Limb Function in Persons with Movement Disorders
Call for Papers
Rehabilitation and assistive robots play an important role in restoring limb functions and improving the quality of life in persons with movement disorders such as after stroke, cerebral palsy, spinal cord injury, and limb loss. Recently, rehabilitation and assistive robots have been significantly advanced primarily due to the advances in actuators, sensors, microprocessors, and mobile software platforms. Successful development and implementation of rehabilitation and assistive robots would rely largely on a team consisting of both engineers and clinicians, as well as a thorough understanding of the human-machine interaction.
This special issue aims to gather the latest achievements in rehabilitation robots, exoskeletons, and prostheses. We solicit both original research and review articles that have not been submitted or accepted in other journals.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
