Application of intelligent rehabilitation equipment in occupational therapy for enhancing upper limb function of patients in the whole phase of stroke

Stroke was one of the leading causes of death in the Chinese population in 2017. Most stroke survivors may suffer from different levels of disabilities, which prevents them from returning to their daily activities. The decreased upper limb function is considered as the principal factor that makes th...
