Robotic exoskeleton uncovers sensory deficits that only 1% of clinicians ever test
SMRTR summary
University of Delaware researchers are using a robotic exoskeleton to identify proprioception deficits in stroke survivors, revealing that only 1% of clinicians test this crucial sense of body movement and position. The study shows these hidden sensory impairments significantly impact recovery, as patients may lose sensitivity to arm movement completely, affecting their ability to perform daily tasks safely and regain functional independence.
