Overview of the role of robots in upper limb disabilities rehabilitation: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Neuromotor rehabilitation and improvement of upper limb functions are necessary to improve the life quality of patients who have experienced injuries or have pathological outcomes. Modern approaches, such as robotic-assisted rehabilitation can help to improve rehabilitation processes and thus improve upper limb functions. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the role of robots in upper limb disability improvement and rehabilitation.

Methods

This scoping review was conducted by search in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE (January 2012- February 2022). Articles related to upper limb rehabilitation robots were selected. The methodological quality of all the included studies will be appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). We used
