Towards an Integrated Approach to Multimodal Assistance of Stroke Patients Based on the Promotion of Intentionality

  • Conference paper
Converging Clinical and Engineering Research on Neurorehabilitation

Part of the book series: Biosystems & Biorobotics ((BIOSYSROB,volume 1))

Abstract

Different techniques for the rehabilitation of stroke patients have been developed so far mostly in isolation, namely robot therapy and functional electrical therapy. In many systems, assistance (either haptic or electrical) is provided without taking into account the intentionality of the patient. In this paper we review some general issues and advocate the need of an integrated approach to multimodal assistance, based on the evaluation of intentionality.

This work was supported in part by the EU, under FP7 project HUMOUR (grant n. ICT- 231724), and by internal funds of IIT (Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Genoa, Italy).
