[Voluntary and Adaptive Control Strategy for Ankle Rehabilitation Robot].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
The control strategy of rehabilitation robots should not only adapt to patients with different levels of motor function but also encourage patients to participate voluntarily in rehabilitation training. However, existing control strategies usually co...

[Minimally invasive intelligent innovative technologies in foot and ankle surgery: development status and prospects].

Zhonghua wai ke za zhi [Chinese journal of surgery]
The rapid development of technology has ushered in a new era of minimally invasive and intelligent surgery.Minimally invasive surgeries, such as small incision, percutaneous surgery, arthroscopic surgery, and endoscopic surgery, have contributed to l...

Neuro-Rehabilitation Therapy with T-FLEX Ankle Exoskeleton and Serious Games: A Case Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Acquired Brain Injury (ABI) causes permanent disabilities, such as foot drop. This condition affects the gait pattern, increasing the metabolic cost and risk of falling. Robotics with serious games has shown promising results in the gait rehabilitati...

A Novel Evaluation Index and Optimization Method for Ankle Rehabilitation Robots Based on Ankle-Foot Motion.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
The ability of ankle rehabilitation robots to accurately mimicking the actual human ankle motion is an important judgment basis for robot-assisted rehabilitation training. This paper proposes an evaluation index and mechanism parameter optimization m...

Ankle rehabilitation robot training for stroke patients with foot drop: Optimizing intensity and frequency.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic solutions for ankle joint physical therapy have extensively been researched. The optimal frequency and intensity of training for patients when using the ankle robot is not known which can affect rehabilitation outcome.

Improving Ankle Muscle Recruitment via Plantar Pressure Biofeedback during Robot Resisted Gait Training in Cerebral Palsy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Neurological impairment from stroke or cerebral palsy often presents with diminished ankle plantar flexor function during the propulsive phase of gait. This deficit often results in slow, energy-expensive walking patterns that limit community mobilit...

Mirror-Based Robotic Therapy for Ankle Recovery with a Serious Game: A Case Study with a Neurological Patient.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Neuromuscular disorders, such as foot drop, severely affect the locomotor function and walking independence after a brain injury event. Mirror-based robotic therapy (MRT) has been a promising rehabilitation strategy favouring upper limb muscle streng...

Deep Learning Method for Hip Knee Ankle Angle Prediction on Postoperative Full-Limb Radiographs of Total Knee Arthroplasty Patients.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This study developed and evaluated deep learning models for prediction of hip knee ankle angle (HKAA) measurements on postoperative full-limb radiographs of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients. The process involved extracting regions of interest (...

Mechanical Efficiency Investigation of an Ankle-Assisted Robot for Human Walking With a Backpack-Load.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
The purpose of this work is to investigate the efficiency of wearable assistive devices under different load-carriage walking. We designed an experimental platform with a lightweight ankle-assisted robot. Eight subjects were tested in three experimen...

Effects of innovative hip-knee-ankle interlimb coordinated robot training on ambulation, cardiopulmonary function, depression, and fall confidence in acute hemiplegia.

NeuroRehabilitation
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.
