Timing of intermittent torque control with wire-driven gait training robot lifting toe trajectory for trip avoidance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait training robots are useful for changing gait patterns and decreasing risk of trip. Previous research has reported that decreasing duration of the assistance or guidance of the robot is beneficial for efficient gait training. Although robotic int...

Motor adaptation to lateral pelvis assistance force during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The goal of this study was to determine how individuals post-stroke response to the lateral assistance force applied to the pelvis during treadmill walking. Ten individuals post chronic (> 6 months) stroke were recruited to participate in this study....

Design and experimental evaluation of a lightweight, high-torque and compliant actuator for an active ankle foot orthosis.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The human ankle joint plays a crucial role during walking. At the push-off phase the ankle plantarflexors generate the highest torque among the lower limb joints during this activity. The potential of the ankle plantarflexors is affected by numerous ...

Toward goal-oriented robotic gait training: The effect of gait speed and stride length on lower extremity joint torques.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted gait training is becoming increasingly common to support recovery of walking function after neurological injury. How to formulate controllers capable of promoting desired features in gait, i.e. goals, is complicated by the limited unde...

Biomechanical effects of robot assisted walking on knee joint kinematics and muscle activation pattern.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Since manual rehabilitation therapy can be taxing for both the patient and the physiotherapist, a gait rehabilitation robot has been built to reduce the physical strain and increase the efficacy of the rehabilitation therapy. The prototype of the gai...

Research of the BWS system for lower extremity rehabilitation robot.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Body weight support (BWS) system is increasingly used in conjunction with treadmills to assist the patients with neurological impairments. Owing to lower limbs of the patients unable to bear the whole weight during the rehabilitation training, some w...

The effect of haptic interaction between balance assessment robot and pelvis on muscle activation of leg muscles.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Admittance control is considered as a promising paradigm in rehabilitation that provides us with means to establish well controlled and adjustable interaction and cooperation between rehabilitation devices and patients. Recently we developed balance ...

A novel robot-assisted training approach for improving gait symmetry after stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait asymmetry as a consequence of hemiparesis is known as a serious long-term disability, where typical compensatory gait movements are used by stroke subjects in order to cope with their daily activities. This study presents a gait symmetry trainin...

MIT-Skywalker: On the use of a markerless system.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper describes our efforts to employ the Microsoft Kinect as a low cost vision control system for the MIT-Skywalker, a robotic gait rehabilitation device. The Kinect enables an alternative markerless solution to control the MIT-Skywalker and al...

How do strength and coordination recovery interact after stroke? A computational model for informing robotic training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic devices can train strength, coordination, or a combination of both. If a robotic device focuses on coordination, what happens to strength recovery, and vice versa? Understanding this interaction could help optimize robotic training. We develo...
