Approximately 50 to 60 percent of the more than five million stroke survivors are moderately or minimally impaired, and may greatly benefit from rehabilitation. There is a strong need for cost-effective, long-term rehabilitation solutions, which require the therapists to provide repetitive movements to the affected limb. This is a suitable task for specialized robotic devices; however, with the few commercially available robots, the therapists are required to spend a considerable amount of time programming the robot, monitoring the patients, analyzing the data from the robot, and assessing the progress of the patients. This paper focuses on the design, development, and clinically testing an expert systembased post-stroke robotic rehabilitation system for hemiparetic arm. The results suggest that it is not necessary for a therapist to continuously monitor a stroke patient during robotic training. Given the proper intelligent tools for a rehabilitation robot, cost-effective long-term therapy can be delivered with minimal supervision.
