Motor (re) learning concepts used in technology assisted training of arm hand function in stroke: a review article.
Year: 2007
Type: report
Abstract: Background and purpose: It is the purpose of this article to review, which are possible criteria that rehabilitation technology should meet in order to offer upper limb training after stroke that is based on principles of motor learning.\nMethods: A computerised literature search was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL, and EMBASE. The period of time searched was 1997-2007. 130 journal papers (or booksections) were selected and have been used to write this review. Results: State-of-the art approaches in motor learning and training for stroke patients are described, followed by an overview of technology that supports training of arm and hand function after stroke. A list of possible criteria for upper limb rehabilitation technologyis presented. Finally, this paper evaluates strengths and weaknesses of current technological systems on the basis of the criteria thatare proposed. The review concludes with a vision on future developments.
