One of the most difficult components stroke therapy is regaining hand mobility. This research describes a preliminary approach to robot-assisted motion therapy. Our objectives were twofold: First, we used machine learning approaches determine and describe patterns in healthy people. Surface electrodes collect electromyographic (EMG) data from forearm’s flexion extension muscles. The time freque...

Patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease display a number of symptoms such a resting tremor, bradykinesia, etc. Bradykinesia is the hallmark and most disabling symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Herein, a basal ganglia-cortico-spinal circuit for the control of voluntary arm movements in PD bradykinesia is extended by incorporating DAergic innervation of cells in the cortical and spinal com...
