Technological Advances in Stroke Rehabilitation: Robotics and Virtual Reality.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
Robotic technology and virtual reality (VR) have been widely studied technologies in stroke rehabilitation over the last few decades. Both technologies have typically been considered as ways to enhance recovery through promoting intensive, repetitive...

Robotics for Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
Improving walking function is a desirable outcome in rehabilitation and of high importance for social and vocational reintegration for persons with neurologic-related gait impairment. Robots for lower limb gait rehabilitation are designed principally...

Gait Segmentation of Data Collected by Instrumented Shoes Using a Recurrent Neural Network Classifier.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
The authors present a Recurrent Neural Network classifier model that segments the walking data recorded with instrumented footwear. The signals from 3 piezoresistive sensors, a 3-axis accelerometer, and Euler angles are used to generate temporal gait...

Robot-assisted Therapy for the Upper Limb after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
Tetraplegia resulting from cervical injury is the most frequent neurologic category after spinal cord injury and causes substantial disability. The residual strength of partially paralyzed muscles is an important determinant of independence and funct...

Robotic Therapy and the Paradox of the Diminishing Number of Degrees of Freedom.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
There has been remarkable growth in the development and application of robotics to ameliorate or remediate impairment. This growth is associated with a) the understanding that plasticity is a fundamental property of the adult human brain and might be...
