1991年，一种新型机器人MIT-Manus被引入，以研究机器人可能帮助和量化运动功能的神经康复的潜力。MIT-Manus被证明是中风患者肩部和肘部康复的优秀工具，在临床试验中显示，仅限于锻炼的关节的运动损伤减少。这一成功的原则证明了额外的定向和密集的运动治疗，促使对机器人训练进行测试，检查其他肢体节段。本文介绍了一种用于手腕康复的机器人，该机器人具有三个旋转自由度。该设备的第一次临床试验将招募200名中风幸存者。最终，160名中风幸存者将使用近端肩部和肘部的MIT-Manus机器人以及新型的远端手腕机器人进行训练，此外还有40个中风幸存者控制装置。到目前为止，已有52名中风患者完成了机器人训练(正在进行的方案)。在这里，我们报告了36名志愿者的初步结果。这些结果表明，通过增加对其他肢体节段的额外训练，应该可以进一步改善。
In 1991, a novel robot, MIT-MANUS, was introduced to study the potential that robots might assist in and quantify the neuro-rehabilitation of motor function. MIT-MANUS proved an excellent tool for shoulder and elbow rehabilitation in stroke patients, showing in clinical trials a reduction of impairment in movements confined to the exercised joints. This successful proof of principle as to additional targeted and intensive movement treatment prompted a test of robot training examining other limb segments. This paper focuses on a robot for wrist rehabilitation designed to provide three rotational degrees-of-freedom. The first clinical trial of the device will enroll 200 stroke survivors. Ultimately 160 stroke survivors will train with both the proximal shoulder and elbow MIT-MANUS robot, as well as with the novel distal wrist robot, in addition to 40 stroke survivor controls. So far 52 stroke patients have completed the robot training (ongoing protocol). Here, we report on the initial results on 36 of these volunteers. These results demonstrate that further improvement should be expected by adding additional training to other limb segments.
