[1 of 3] Robots and Rehabilitation After Brain Injury
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.
