Robots and Rehabilitation Neville Hogan, Ph.D., Newman Laboratory, MIT, Cambridge Diane Anderson, Stroke Survivor there are no silver bullets after brain injury, but new robotic technologies are effective in helping stroke victims regain function in their arms and legs. This cutting edge technology doesn’t just assist by moving limbs; it fosters learning that actually rewires the brain. Robots are emerging as a promising new rehabilitation tool. An estimated two million Americans experience traumatic brain injuries each year. While thousands die from their injuries, millions more are part of a silent epidemic. These injuries are internal and often are not obvious to the eye. Brain injury has deep and profound implications for the injured, their families, and their friends. A brain injury can happen to you, or a member of your family, at any time. This program was produced by the San Diego Brain Injury Foundation, in conjunction with the University of California – San Diego. It was generously supported by an educational grant from Jaguar Kearny Mesa of San Diego. We thank everyone involved for their excellent contribution.
