Task-specific training versus usual care to improve upper limb function after stroke: The “Task-AT Home” randomised controlled trial protocol. Frontiers in Neurology, 14, Article 1140017. https://doi.org/10.3389/fneur.2023.1140017

Background: Sixty percent of people have non-functional arms 6 months after stroke. More effective treatments are needed. Cochrane Reviews show low-quality evidence that task-specific training improves upper limb function. Our feasibility trial showe...

Background: Soft, wearable, powered exoskeletons are novel devices that may assist rehabilitation, allowing users to walk further or carry out activities of daily living. However, soft robotic exoskeletons, and the more commonly used rigid exoskeleto...
