Post-treatment surveys revealed a subjective preference for T-WREX training over conventional gravity-supported exercises. These preliminary results suggest that the T-WREX is a safe device feasible for clinical use, and effective in enhancing upper …

Oct 6, 2020 · The therapy Wilmington exoskeleton (T-Wrex) is an active upper limb rehabilitation robot with five degrees of freedom [49,50]. It is dedicated for individuals with significant arm weakness by providing intensive training.

4 days ago · T-Wrex was a middleweight robot built by Regan Designs which competed in three seasons of Comedy Central BattleBots. The robot's design was essentially half of Omega-13, with half the drive and size of the heavyweight, but instead of two spiked ends the robot had one end that had five red spikes and a long thwacking arm in the rear.

This paper describes the development of such a system, called Therapy WREX or ("T-WREX"). The system consists of an orthosis that assists in arm movement across a large workspace, a grip sensor that detects hand grip pressure, and software that simulates functional activities.

Nov 16, 2022 · We begin this chapter by reviewing the motivation behind and development of an exemplar mechanically assisted device, T-WREX, which eventually was commercialized and became one of the most widely used devices for arm training after stroke, ArmeoSpring.

T-WREX is a passive (ie, nonrobotic) arm orthosis that provides support for the arm against gravity and measures arm movement and trace hand grasp as users interact with computer games.

Gravity-supported arm exercise, using the T-WREX or tabletop support, can improve arm movement ability after chronic severe hemiparesis with brief one-on-one assistance from a therapist (approximately 4 minutes per session).

This study presents preliminary results of a randomized controlled trial comparing a novel passive arm orthosis training system, the Therapy Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (T-WREX), with conventional self-directed upper extremity exercises. Chronic

Jul 13, 2007 · The Training-Wilmington Robotic Exoskeleton (T-WREX), developed at the University of California-Irvine, 51 was designed for adults with significant arm weakness resulting from stroke, and...

The resulting passive device (Training WREX or "T-WREX") allows individuals with severe motor impairment to practice functional movements (reaching, eating, and washing) in a simple virtual reality environment called Java Therapy 2.0.
