UPPER LIMB REHABILITATION WITH A COLLABORATIVE ROBOT

Abstract

The interest in rehabilitation robotics is showing a steady growth over the last decades. This paper presents a rehabilitation application for the upper limb, achieved using a well-known industrial collaborative robot. The proposed robotic system has been programmed and a specific layout has been developed to provide an active-assistive control strategy.  Key words: robotic rehabilitation, upper limb, collaborative robot, control strategy, post-stroke.
