Experts have created a robot that is able to interact with the patient by processing the signals of his brain. During classes, the machine can show people movements and feedback in real time, thereby automating and speeding up the rehabilitation process. Scientists have noted the benefits of the new machine.

According to researchers from the Scottish organization National Robotarium, about 80 percent of people who have suffered a stroke and traumatic brain injury have disorders in the upper extremities. To recover, they need to repeat certain movements many times. However, only 30 percent of patients successfully complete the program, writes lenta.ru.

During the study, the researchers worked with 16 patients who had suffered a stroke or traumatic brain injury, helping them with the help of a robot. It turned out that through the neural interface, the machine can effectively predict the movements of users and demonstrate to them the order of exercises.
