BACKGROUND: Gait rehabilitation using a footpad-type locomotion interface has been reported as effective in improving gait ability in chronic stroke patients. However, the effect on subacute stroke patients is unknown.
BACKGROUND: No general recommendations are yet available for the application of robot-assisted treadmill therapy for children with cerebral palsy regarding the length and intensity of the intervention.
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are common causes of motor disability in childhood. Gait exoskeletons are currently being used as part of rehabilitation for children with walking difficulties.
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of disability resulting in long-term functional ambulation deficits. Conventional therapy can improve ambulation, but may not be able to provide consistent, high dose repetition of movement, resulting in variable...
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) allows an intensive gait training in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). There are few evidences on the effectiveness of RAGT in adults with CP.
OBJECTIVE: To explore the impact of rehabilitation robot training (RRT) on upper limb motor function and daily activity ability in patients with stroke.
BACKGROUND: While Walkbot-assisted locomotor training (WLT) provided ample evidence on balance and gait improvements, the therapeutic effects on cardiopulmonary and psychological elements as well as fall confidence are unknown in stroke survivors.
BACKGROUND: Advances in medical technology produce highly complex datasets in neurorehabilitation clinics and research laboratories. Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been utilized to analyze big and complex datasets in various fields, but the u...
