简要总结
The purpose of the study is to test the technical functionality, safety, and feasibility of a bimanual robotic exoskeletal platform and associated serious games in order to offer information on technological and functional advances that will be included in the device's finalization.
In addition, a secondary goal will be to assess the therapeutic effects of a rehabilitation therapy based on the bimanual configuration, comparing it to a unimanual treatment delivered on the same platform (using the specific configuration).
