Sponsor's own description

The current work aims to examine whether the proposed rehabilitation training or exercise will eventually yield improvements in both motor and somatosensory aspects at one goal. Here, the word 'somatosensory' refers to bodily sensations associated with proprioception or kinesthesia, not the sensation of touch, pain, and temperature. The study focuses on upper limb retraining for community-dwelling stroke survivors using a robotic device. At the end of training, both movement accuracy and somatosensory acuity in chronic stroke survivors are presumed to improve, and such paradigm is expected to provide reliable benefits as compared to conventional intervention alone.
