Epilogue: Robots for Neurorehabilitation—The Debate

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

There is an ongoing debate over the value of robotic movement training devices for clinical rehabilitation practice and their promise for the future. In this Epilogue, we break down the debate into a series of specific propositions and then provide commentary from two perspectives. JK is a neurologist and neuroscientist who has developed novel location-based immersive training environments combined with proprietary gaming software that encourages active exploration to reduce upper limb impairment after stroke. DR is an engineer and neuroscientist who has developed robotic and sensor-based rehabilitation training systems and computational models of motor recovery.
