In the researchers' words
The advantage of the EMG-driven exoskeletons is that patient's own muscle power known as Residual Muscle Power is used to move the extremity while many other robotic devices work and drive impaired limb based on machine directed force. However, it is not clear which group of patients are suitable for EMG driven exoskeletons use and there has not been any established treatment protocol. The aims of the study are 1- to investigate the effectiveness of the EMG-driven exoskeleton for hand rehabilitation in patients with acute stroke. 2- to understand which group of the patients may give the best response to the EMG-driven technology and how should be the treatment protocol designed.
