Efficacy of Robot-Assisted and Virtual Reality Interventions on Balance, Gait, and Daily Function in Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the comparative effectiveness and ranking of robot-assisted training, virtual reality, and robot-assisted rehabilitation combined with virtual reality in improving balance, gait, and daily function in patients ...

The Use of Machine Learning for Inferencing the Effectiveness of a Rehabilitation Program for Orthopedic and Neurological Patients.

International journal of environmental research and public health
Advance assessment of the potential functional improvement of patients undergoing a rehabilitation program is crucial in developing precision medicine tools and patient-oriented rehabilitation programs, as well as in better allocating resources in ho...

Treatment of the Paretic Hand with a Robotic Glove Combined with Physiotherapy in a Patient Suffering from Traumatic Tetraparesis: A Case Report.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: cervical spinal cord injury leads to loss of upper limb functionality, which causes a decrease in autonomy to perform activities of daily living. The use of robotic technologies in rehabilitation could contribute to improving upper limb f...

Mobile Robotic Balance Assistant (MRBA): a gait assistive and fall intervention robot for daily living.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Aging degrades the balance and locomotion ability due to frailty and pathological conditions. This demands balance rehabilitation and assistive technologies that help the affected population to regain mobility, independence, and improve t...

Restoring arm function with a soft robotic wearable for individuals with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Science translational medicine
Despite promising results in the rehabilitation field, it remains unclear whether upper limb robotic wearables, e.g., for people with physical impairments resulting from neurodegenerative disease, can be made portable and suitable for everyday use. W...

The-state-of-the-art of soft robotics to assist mobility: a review of physiotherapist and patient identified limitations of current lower-limb exoskeletons and the potential soft-robotic solutions.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Soft, wearable, powered exoskeletons are novel devices that may assist rehabilitation, allowing users to walk further or carry out activities of daily living. However, soft robotic exoskeletons, and the more commonly used rigid exoskeleto...

A Multirobot Person Search System for Finding Multiple Dynamic Users in Human-Centered Environments.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Multirobot coordination for finding multiple users in an environment can be used in numerous robotic applications, including search and rescue, surveillance/monitoring, and activities of daily living assistance. Existing approaches have limited coord...

Efficacy of Robot-Assisted Gait Therapy Compared to Conventional Therapy or Treadmill Training in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: Motor, gait and balance disorders reduce functional capabilities for activities of daily living in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) is being used to complement conventional therapy (CT) or treadmill th...

Robot-assisted rehabilitation training improves knee function and daily activity ability in older adults following total knee arthroplasty.

Research in nursing & health
To evaluate the effects of robot-assisted rehabilitation training on knee function and the daily activity ability of older adults following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Eighty-eight patients who underwent TKA were randomly assigned to a robot-assis...

Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation Architecture Supported by a Distributed Data Acquisition System.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Rehabilitation robotics aims to facilitate the rehabilitation procedure for patients and physical therapists. This field has a relatively long history dating back to the 1990s; however, their implementation and the standardisation of their applicatio...
