Exoskeleton and End-Effector Robots for Upper and Lower Limbs Rehabilitation: Narrative Review

Recovery of upper and lower limbs function is essential to reach independence in daily activities in patients with upper motor neuron  syndrome (UMNS). Rehabilitation can provide a guide for motor recovery influencing the neurobiology of neuronal plasticity providing controlled, repetitive, and variable patterns. Increasing therapy dosage, intensity, number of repetition, execution of task-oriented exercises, and combining top-do wn and bottom-up approaches can promote plasticity and functional recovery.
