Deck 11: Rehabilitation Technologies to Promote Upper Limb Recovery after Stroke

Question 1

The MIT-MANUS is classified as what type of robotic system?

A) Active system
B) Passive system
C) Interactive system
D) None of the above

Answer 1

C
This type of system consists of actuators or motors combined with impedance and control strategies that allow the robot to react to the patient's movement attempts.

Question 2

The overall goal of robotic therapy is to provide repetitive,task-specific training to help restore lost motor function.

Answer 2

True
Current robotic therapy provides an adjunctive means for clients to engage in motivating repetitive task practice.

Question 3

Which device is classified as a neuroprosthesis?

A) Saeboflex
B) Autocite
C) Myomo e100
D) NESS H200 Hand Rehabilitation System

Answer 3

D
This device is a custom-fit orthosis that uses functional electrical stimulation to provide neuromuscular reeducation,sequentially activate muscle groups in the forearm,and elicit active grasp and release in the paretic hand.

Question 4

At this point in time,robotic interventions most clearly positively impact which level of function based on the International Classification of Functioning,Disability,and Health (ICF)?

A) Impairment
B) Activity limitations
C) Participation restrictions
D) All of the above
