Will Your Next Therapist Be a Robot?—A Review of the Advancements in Robotic Upper Extremity Rehabilitation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Several recent studies have indicated that upper extremity injuries are classified as a top common workplace injury. Therefore, upper extremity rehabilitation has become a leading research area in the last few decades. However, this high number of upper extremity injuries is viewed as a challenging problem due to the insufficient number of physiotherapists. With the recent advancements in technology, robots have been widely involved in upper extremity rehabilitation exercises. Although robotic technology and its involvement in the rehabilitation field are rapidly evolving, the literature lacks a recent review that addresses the updates in the robotic upper extremity rehabilitation field. Thus, this paper presents a comprehensive review of state-of-the-art robotic upper extremity rehabilitation solutions, with a detailed classification of various rehabilitative robots. The paper also reports some experimental robotic trials and their outcomes in clinics.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
