Both parts will include five sections for the five key areas in rehabilitation robotics: (i) the upper limb; (ii) lower limb for gait rehabilitation (iii) hand, finger and wrist; (iv) ankle for strains and sprains; and (v) the use of EEG and EMG to create interfaces between the neurological and muscular functions of the patients and the rehabilitation robots. Each chapter provides a description of the design of the device, the control system used, and the implementation and testing to show how it fulfils the needs of that specific area of rehabilitation.The book will detail new devices, some of which have never been published before in any journal or conference. 650 4$aBiomedical Engineering 650 4$aRobotics and Automation 650 4$aRehabilitation 912 $a991004371038107536 996 $aAdvanced Robotics for Medical Rehabilitation$94315705 997 $aUNISALENTO
