SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): A portable robotic device that can help stroke patients with their recovery at home was unveiled at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) on Wednesday (Oct 28).

With help from the robot, patients can do the repetitive exercises needed to regain control in their arms and build up their strength once more, without always having to visit a clinic or hospital to attend sessions with an occupational therapist.
