Stroke is a medical emergency that needs immediate treatment. A large number of cases around the world are witnessed every year. For disabled stroke patients, the key approaches used for treatment using MANUS robotic system were presented in [35]. A novel algorithm was developed based on performance-based-progressive theory for rehabilitation, and an algorithm was developed for triggering the recovery of stroke patients [36]. The approaches made in human-centered robotic systems were presented and consisted of patient-cooperative abilities that did not impose any predefined movement on stroke patients [37]. ARKOD device for knee rehabilitation was presented, which had damping closed-loop control and an electro-rheological fluid for effective flexion of knee movement [38]. Virtual Gait Rehabilitation Robot (ViGRR) for providing gait motion, training, and motivation to the stroke patients was designed and prototyped [39]. The wearable inflatable robot was designed for stroke patients and showed less cardiac activity for the therapist [40]. Table 1.1 enlists some of the published work with the proposed solution(s) for the stroke patients employing rehabilitation robotics.

Table 1.1 Summary of certain articles related to the use of robotics for stroke patients.

Ref. number	Area of rehabilitation robotics explored	Remarks
[35]	MANUS robotic systems	Different approaches used for treating disabled people and the main areas where MANUS system had significant effects were presented.
[36]	Assistance using a performance-based-progressive theory	A novel method for assistance was developed for stroke patients, and the assistance was based on speed, time, or EMG limits.
[37]	Human-centered robotic systems	The system was applied for the rehabilitation of the impaired stroke patients, and patient-cooperative system, which produced actions based on the actions of the patient, was presented.
[38]	Knee rehabilitation device AKROD	A device was designed particularly for stroke patients and consisted of damped closed-loop control and electro-rheological fluid.
[39]	Haptic-based rehabilitation robot	Virtual Gait Rehabilitation Robot (ViGRR) was designed for stroke patients, and its prototype was also presented. It provided gait motion, training, and motivation.
[40]	Inflatable wearable robot	The device was tested on stroke patients and showed less cardiac and muscular activity by the therapist.
