DESCRIPTION (Applicant's Abstract): The Phase II effort is the continuation of the development of a robotic bi-manual therapy machine for use in stroke rehabilitation. The robotic therapy device proposed here, called ARCHIME for the purposes of this proposal, has the potential to improve rehabilitation outcomes significantly for individuals who have upper limb impairments due to stroke. Demographic trends indicate a significant increase in the already large population of individuals who have experienced a stroke. The resulting loss of upper limb motor function is often resistant to therapeutic efforts. With the dramatic reduction of inpatient rehabilitation length of stay following. stroke, it is now critical to develop efficient, scientifically-validated interventions. The combination of demographic trends and healthcare cost containment pressures, and limitations in current clinical practice provide convincing evidence to support the potential for ARCMIME to become a commercially successful product. PROPOSED COMMERCIAL APPLICATION: The commercial applications of this project are the manufacture and distribution of a robotic therapy machine providing clinical rehabilitation of a stroke impairment, which is enchanced by computerized assessment and automated routines for remote or networked therapy. This methodology would lead to a more cost effective therapy that could be developed for other forms of rehabilitation therapy.

描述（申请人的摘要）：第二阶段的努力是继续 开发用于中风的机器人双手治疗机 康复活动.这里提出的机器人治疗设备，称为ARCHIME， 该提案的目的，有可能改善康复 结果显着的人谁有上肢损伤，由于 中风 人口趋势表明，本已庞大的 有中风经历的人群。因此遭受 上肢运动功能通常抵抗治疗努力。与 住院康复后住院时间显著缩短。 中风，现在至关重要的是开发有效的， 干预措施。人口趋势和医疗保健成本的结合 在当前临床实践中的遏制压力和限制提供了 令人信服的证据支持ARCMIME成为一种 商业上成功的产品。 拟定商业应用： 该项目的商业应用是制造和分销 提供中风损伤的临床康复的机器人治疗机， 通过计算机化评估和自动化程序， 网络治疗 这种方法将导致一种更具成本效益的治疗 可以用于其他形式的康复治疗。
