Abstract
This review proposes an innovative closed-loop rehabilitation strategy that integrates multiple subdomains of stroke science to address the global challenge of upper-limb dyskinesia post-stroke. Despite advancements in neural remodeling and rehabilitation research, the compartmentalization of subdomains has limited the effectiveness of current rehabilitation strategies. Our approach unites key areas-including the post-stroke brain, upper-limb rehabilitation robotics, motion sensing, metrics, neural microfluidics, and neuroelectronics-into a cohesive framework designed to enhance upper-limb motion rehabilitation outcomes. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies such as lightweight rehabilitation robotics, advanced motion sensing, and neural microfluidic models, this strategy enables real-time monitoring, adaptive interventions, and personalized rehabilitation plans. Furthermore, we explore the potential of closed-loop systems to drive neural plasticity and functional recovery, offering a transformative perspective on stroke rehabilitation. Finally, we discuss future directions, emphasizing the integration of emerging technologies and interdisciplinary collaboration to advance the field. This review highlights the promise of closed-loop strategies in achieving unprecedented integration of subdomains and improving post-stroke upper-limb rehabilitation outcomes.
