Reza Abiri and Yalda Shahriari at the University of Rhode Island recently received a National Science Foundation award totaling $460,000 for work to improve stroke patient rehabilitation. Their new robotic platform can help post-stroke patients perform needed rehabilitation and regain motor skills. The three-year grant will help them expand the exoskeleton’s platform.
