Successful use of robots in stroke therapy. As part of the VITALISE H2020 Project, a study by the #AIT and The National Robotarium of the Heriot-Watt University based in Edinburgh/Scotland has investigated the rehabilitation process and the support provided by robots for patients with hemiplegia. The team has now investigated the extent to which people with hemiplegia can be better supported in their upper limb rehabilitation and targeted movement exercises by a combination of social assistive robots (SARs) and brain-computer interfaces (a device worn on the head with several sensors to measure brain waves). "The results of the study are promising and point the way forward for future stroke therapy," summarize Markus Garschall and Professor Lynne Baillie (she/her). A further evaluation project involving people with hemiparesis is planned for 2024 in Scotland.
