Several recent studies have indicated that upper extremity injuries are classified as a top common workplace injury. Therefore, upper extremity rehabilitation has become a leading research area in the last few decades. However, this high number of upper extremity injuries is viewed as a challenging problem due to the insufficient number of physiotherapists. With the recent advancements in technology, robots have been widely involved in upper extremity rehabilitation exercises. Although robotic technology and its involvement in the rehabilitation field are rapidly evolving, the literature lacks a recent review that addresses the updates in the robotic upper extremity rehabilitation field. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art robotic upper extremity rehabilitation solutions, with a detailed classification of various rehabilitative robots. The paper also reports some experimental robotic trials and their outcomes in clinics.
最近的几项研究表明，上肢损伤被列为最常见的工作场所损伤之一。因此，上肢康复在过去几十年中已成为一个主要的研究领域。然而，由于物理治疗师数量不足，如此大量的上肢损伤被视为一个具有挑战性的问题。随着技术的最新进展，机器人已广泛参与上肢康复训练。尽管机器人技术及其在康复领域的应用正在迅速发展，但文献中缺乏对机器人上肢康复领域最新进展的综述。因此，本文对最先进的机器人上肢康复解决方案进行了全面综述，并对各种康复机器人进行了详细分类。本文还报告了一些临床机器人试验及其结果。
