- Rehabilitation robotics is a field of research dedicated to understanding and augmenting rehabilitation through the application of robotic devices. Rehabilitation robotics includes development of robotic therapies, and the use of robots as therapy aids instead of solely as assistive devices.
- Rehabilitation using robotics is generally well tolerated by patients, and has been found to be an effective adjunct to therapy in individuals suffering from motor impairments, especially due to stroke.
- Current robotic devices include exoskeletons for aiding limb or hand movement such as the Tibion Bionic Leg, the Myomo Neuro-robotic System and the Berkeley Bionics eLegs; enhanced treadmills such as Hocoma's Lokomat; and robotic arms to retrain motor movement of the limb such as the MIT-MANUS(An MIT robot for physical therapy of the arm and wrists).
- Often robotic technologies attempt to leverage the principles of neuroplasticity (The brain's natural ability to form new connections in order to compensate for injury or changes in one's environment) by improving quality of movement, and increasing the intensity and repetition of the task.
- Rehabilitation robotics can also be applied to individuals with cerebral palsy, or those recovering from orthopaedic surgery
- Rehabilitation robotics may also include virtual reality technology.

If you had financial problems, then it is time for you to smile. You only need to contact Mr. Benjamin with the amount you wish to borrow at the low rate of 2% ROI and the payment period that suits you and you will have your loan within three working days. I just benefited for the sixth time from a loan of 700 thousand dollars for a period of 180 months with the possibility of paying before the expiration date. Mr Benjamin has been helping me with the loan.Make contact with him and you will see that he is a very honest man with a good heart.His email is 247officedept@gmail.com and his WhatApp phone number is + 1-989-394-3740 .
