Rusk experts, Preeti Raghavan, MD, and John Corcoran, PT, DPT, MS, Cert. MDT, were recently sought out to weigh in on the role of robotics in rehabilitation.
A report published Wednesday in the journal Nature, describes how two people who lost use of their arms and legs because of strokes years before were able to control free-standing robotic arms with the help of a tiny sensor implanted in their brains. Preeti Raghavan, MD, is quoted: http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-05/D9UPUUJO0.htm [1]
