Muscle damage impairs vital functions e.g., movement, respiration. Recovery depends on the long-term interaction between neuromuscular and immune systems. If exposed to regimens of electro-mechanical stimuli, damaged muscles can remodel new structural properties over days. Inflammation at the damage site is initially needed to clear debris but if prolonged, as in many neuromuscular disorders, it may hamper structural remodeling. Rehabilitation robots such as exoskeletons and neurostimulators can deliver tunable stimuli to muscles. However, although they can compensate for lack of e.g., muscle strength (within seconds), they cannot control for how muscles remodel across days. ROBOREACTOR…
