Abstract

Objectives of Presentation:

1. Describe the impact of robotics on upper extremity function among various neurological populations.

2. Differentiate which patients are appropriate for robotics interventions for upper extremity rehabiliation.

3. Defend the feasibility of robotic interventions for upper extremity rehabilitation of neurological populations.

PICO: To what extend does robotic-assisted therapy improve UE function in adults with neurological conditions?

Note: Handout with references available at bottom of page.
