Hemiparesis
Robotic Brace Incorporating Electromyography for Moderate Affected Arm Impairment After Stroke
Of the 5.7 million stroke survivors in the United States, up to 80% exhibit significant weakness in one arm (called "hemiparesis"). This devastating impairment undermines performance of valued activities and quality of life.
