Over the past decade, robotic neurorehabilitation has become one of the most discussed innovations in neurological recovery. Robotic gait trainers, upper-limb rehabilitation systems, exoskeletons, and AI-assisted rehabilitation devices are increasingly being adopted by hospitals and rehabilitation centres worldwide. However, an important question remains: Are robots the future of neurorehabilitation—or are they simply another tool in the rehabilitation toolbox? As clinicians and researchers, we must move beyond marketing claims and focus on scientific evidence, patient selection, and clinical reasoning. What is Robotic Neurorehabilitation? Robotic neurorehabilitation involves the use of electromechanical devices that assist, guide, resist, or augment movement during therapy. These technologies include: • Robotic gait trainers • Wearable exoskeletons • Upper limb robotic rehabilitation devices • End-effector robotic systems • Sensor-based rehabilitation platforms • AI-assiste...
The orientation to an EEG record involves understanding the key components and information present in an EEG recording. Here are some important aspects of orienting to an EEG record: 1. Electrode Placement : EEG recordings are obtained by placing electrodes on specific locations on the scalp according to standardized systems such as the "10-20" electrode placement system. Understanding the electrode locations and their corresponding brain regions is essential for interpreting the EEG data accurately. 2. Montage Selection : EEG recordings can be displayed in different montages, such as bipolar and referential montages. Each montage provides a different perspective on the brain activity, and selecting the appropriate montage is crucial for analyzing specific aspects of the EEG data. 3. Interpretation of Waveforms : EEG recordings display electrical waveforms that represent the brain's electrical activity. Understanding the characteristics of different waveforms, such as fre...
