[Preliminary study of robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation for children with cerebral palsy].

Beijing da xue xue bao. Yi xue ban = Journal of Peking University. Health sciences
OBJECTIVE: To propose a kind of robotic ankle-foot rehabilitation system for children with cerebral palsy and to preliminarily verify its feasibility in clinical application.

Ankle passive and active movement training in children with acute brain injury using a wearable robot.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the feasibility and effectiveness of a wearable robotic device in guiding isometric torque generation and passive-active movement training for ankle motor recovery in children with acute brain injury.

Artificial neural network simulation of lower limb joint angles in normal and impaired human gait.

Acta of bioengineering and biomechanics
PURPOSE: Simulating the complexities of lower limb motion can be useful for orthosis or rehabilitation planning. The aim of this study was to develop an artificial neural network (ANN) able to accurately simulate the changes in the angle of the ankle...

[Effectiveness of modified suture technique in treatment of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of modified suture technique in the treatment of acute closed Achilles tendon rupture.

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 ...

Pediatric robotic rehabilitation: Current knowledge and future trends in treating children with sensorimotor impairments.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-aided sensorimotor therapy imposes highly repetitive tasks that can translate to substantial improvement when patients remain cognitively engaged into the clinical procedure, a goal that most children find hard to pursue. Knowing th...

Intensive seated robotic training of the ankle in patients with chronic stroke differentially improves gait.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic driven treatment plans targeting isolated joints of the upper limb have improved the sensorimotor condition of patients with stroke. Similar intensive efforts to allay lower limb gait impairment have not been so successful. In pat...

Robotic-assisted locomotor training enhances ankle performance in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: Ankle joint control plays an important role in independent walking. This study investigated the effects of robotic-assisted locomotor training on impaired ankle joint control in individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Classification of squat quality with inertial measurement units in the single leg squat mobility test.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many assessment and diagnosis protocols in rehabilitation, orthopedic surgery and sports medicine rely on mobility tests like the Single Leg Squat (SLS). In this study, a set of three Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) were used to estimate the joint ...
