Over the past decade, rehabilitation hospitals have begun to incorporate robotics technologies into the daily treatment schedule of many patients. These interventions hold greater promise than simply replicating traditional therapy, because they allow therapists an unprecedented ability to specify and monitor movement features such as speed, direction, amplitude, and joint coordination patterns and to introduce controlled perturbations into therapy. We argue that to fully realize the potential of robotic devices in neurorehabilitation, it is necessary to better understand the specific aspects of movement that should be facilitated in rehabilitation. In this article, we first discuss neurorecovery in the context of motor control and learning principles that can provide guidelines to rehabilitation professionals for enhancing recovery of motor function. We then discuss how robotic devices can be used to support such activities.
在过去十年中，康复医院已开始将机器人技术纳入许多患者的日常治疗计划。这些干预措施比单纯复制传统疗法更具前景，因为它们使治疗师能够以前所未有的能力指定和监测运动特征，如速度、方向、幅度和关节协调模式，并在治疗中引入可控干扰。我们认为，要充分实现机器人设备在神经康复中的潜力，有必要更好地理解康复中应促进的运动的具体方面。在本文中，我们首先在运动控制和学习原则的背景下讨论神经恢复，这些原则可为康复专业人员增强运动功能恢复提供指导。然后我们讨论如何使用机器人设备来支持此类活动。
