Summary

Rehabotics is a comprehensive rehabilitation system designed to deliver individualized upper-limb therapy for patients with motor impairments, particularly after stroke. Its core components include an exoskeletal robotic aid for assisted hand training and an interactive augmented reality platform for rehabilitation exercises and functional task practice. The system supports both treatment and assessment by enabling the monitoring of motor performance and patient progress through quantitative data. The overall aim of Rehabotics is to enhance the quality, intensity, and personalization of hand rehabilitation in clinical settings, with the potential to support remote care applications in the future.

Conditions

• Stroke
• Upper Extremity Dysfunction
• Spasticity Post Stroke

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DEVICE	Rehabotics Physiotherapy	A supervised 5-week upper-limb rehabilitation program using the Rehabotics system, delivered in 3 sessions per week, with each session lasting 30 minutes. Each session combined two components: (1) task-oriented training through an augmented reality serious-games platform using markerless hand tracking with a standard RGB camera, and (2) assisted stretching of the affected finger flexor muscles using the Active Exoskeletal Aid. The AR component included grip-specific functional tasks designed to simulate activities of daily living. The exoskeletal component provided repetitive, therapist-adjustable finger stretching through servo motor-driven movement, with programmable parameters including extension speed, maximum extension angle, and return speed.
