Stroke is a significant disability and death cause worldwide and is conventionally defined as a neurological impairment relating to the intense focal harm of the central nervous system (CNS) by vascular causative components. Although the applicability of robotic rehabilitation is a topic with considerable practical significance because it has produced noticeably higher improvements in motor function than regular (physical and occupational) therapy and exempted the therapists, most of the existing bibliometric papers were not focused on stroke survivors. Additionally, a modular system is designed by joining several medical end-effector devices to a single limb segment, which addresses the issue of potentially dangerous pathological compensatory motions. Searching the Web of Science database, 31,930 papers were identified, and using the VOSviewer software and science mapping technology, data were extracted on the most prolific countries, the connections between them, the most valuable journals according to certain factors, their average year of publication, the most influential papers, and the most relevant topical issues (bubble map of term occurrence). The most prolific country in the analyzed field and over the entire period evaluated (1975-2022) is the United States, and the most prolific journal is Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, observing a marked increase in the three periods of scientific interest for this field. The present paper assesses numerous scientific publications to provide, through statistical interpretation of the data, a detailed description of the use of robotic rehabilitation in stroke survivors. The findings may aid scientists, academics, and clinicians in establishing precise goals in the optimization of the management of stroke survivors via robotic rehabilitation, but also through easier access to scientifically validated literature.
中风是全球范围内导致重大残疾和死亡的原因，传统上被定义为与血管致病因素对中枢神经系统（CNS）造成的严重局灶性损害相关的神经功能障碍。尽管机器人康复的适用性是一个具有相当实际意义的话题，因为它在运动功能方面比常规（物理和职业）治疗产生了明显更大的改善，并且使治疗师得以解脱，但现有的大多数文献计量学论文并未聚焦于中风幸存者。此外，通过将多个医疗末端执行器设备连接到单个肢体节段来设计一个模块化系统，该系统解决了潜在危险的病理性代偿运动问题。在科学网数据库中进行搜索，共识别出31930篇论文，并使用VOSviewer软件和科学映射技术，提取了关于发文量最多的国家、它们之间的联系、根据某些因素最具价值的期刊、其平均出版年份、最具影响力的论文以及最相关的主题问题（术语出现气泡图）的数据。在所分析的领域以及整个评估期（1975 - 2022年）内，发文量最多的国家是美国，发文量最多的期刊是《神经康复与神经修复》，该领域在三个科学兴趣期内呈现出显著增长。本文评估了大量科学出版物，通过对数据的统计解读，详细描述了机器人康复在中风幸存者中的应用。这些发现可能有助于科学家、学者和临床医生在通过机器人康复优化中风幸存者管理方面确立精确目标，同时也有助于更便捷地获取经过科学验证的文献。
