Rehabilitation robots for the treatment of sensorimotor deficits: a neurophysiological perspective

Roger Gassert and Volker Dietz; Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation 2018 15:46 doi:10.1186/s12984-018-0383-x

Future rehabilitation approaches will not only profit from the inclusion of robots, but also from an advanced understanding of neurophysiological mechanisms underlying normal and impaired sensorimotor functions, enabled by the use of robots as scientific tools. Resulting insights will benefit the development of advanced rehabilitation robots, and further promote collaboration between engineers, therapists and clinical neurophysiologists.
