背景：在美国，每年有超过13万人中风。在这些受害者中，76%的人残疾，这给国家造成了超过540亿美元的失业和医疗费用损失。一个突出的残疾是上肢偏瘫，大约50%的中风患者会出现这种情况。机器人技术有潜力为控制康复和辅助任务导向治疗提供自动化平台。
BackgroundMore than 130,000 people have strokes each year in the United States [1]. Of these victims, 76% are left with disabilities that cost the nation over $54 billion in lost work and medical fees. One prominent disability is upper extremity hemiplegia, which occurs among approximately 50% of stroke sufferers [2]. Robotic technology has the potential to provide an automated platform for controled rehabilitation and assisted, task-oriented therapy.
