The world's population is aging, with the number of people ages 65 or older expected to surpass 1.5 billion people, or 16% of the global total. As people age, there are notable declines in proprioception due to changes in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Moreover, the risk of stroke increases with age, with approximately two-thirds of stroke-related hospitalizations occurring in people over the age of 65. In this literature review, we first summarize behavioral studies investigating proprioceptive deficits in normally aging older adults and stroke patients, and discuss the differences in proprioceptive function between these populations. We then provide a state of the art review the literature regarding therapist- and robot-based rehabilitation of the upper extremity proprioceptive dysfunction in stroke populations and discuss avenues of future research.
世界人口正在老龄化，预计 65 岁或以上的人口将超过 15 亿，占全球总人口的 16%。随着人们年龄的增长，由于中枢和外周神经系统的变化，本体感觉明显下降。此外，随着年龄的增长，中风的风险增加，大约三分之二的中风相关住院发生在 65 岁以上的人群中。在这篇文献综述中，我们首先总结了行为研究，调查了正常衰老的老年人和中风患者的本体感觉缺陷，并讨论了这些人群的本体感觉功能差异。然后，我们提供了一个关于上肢本体感觉功能障碍在中风人群中治疗师和机器人康复的文献综述，并讨论了未来研究的方向。
