Abstract
Rehabilitation robots are becoming an important tool in rehabilitation of stroke, SCI and other neurological pathologies. Compared to manual arm training, robot-supported training can be more intensive, of longer duration, repetitive and task-oriented. Therefore, such devices have the potential to improve the rehabilitation process in stroke patients. Whereas a majority of previous work in upper limb rehabilitation robotics has focused on end-effector based robots, a shift toward exoskeleton robots is taking place because they offer a better guidance of the human arm, especially for movements with large range of motions. One of the first actuated exoskeleton robot that is ready for deployment in clinics is the ARMin III robot. This paper gives a short overview of the ongoing clinical application and evaluation process of the ARMin III robot.
