Study of human walking patterns based on the parameter optimization of a passive dynamic walking robot.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The study of human walking patterns mainly focuses on how control affects walking because control schemes are considered to be dominant in human walking.

Biomechanics of Step Initiation After Balance Recovery With Implications for Humanoid Robot Locomotion.

Journal of biomechanical engineering
Balance-recovery stepping is often necessary for both a human and humanoid robot to avoid a fall by taking a single step or multiple steps after an external perturbation. The determination of where to step to come to a complete stop has been studied,...

Robot-assisted gait training versus treadmill training in patients with Parkinson's disease: a kinematic evaluation with gait profile score.

Functional neurology
The purpose of this study was to quantitatively compare the effects, on walking performance, of end-effector robotic rehabilitation locomotor training versus intensive training with a treadmill in Parkinson's disease (PD). Fifty patients with PD were...

Analysis of reaching movements of upper arm in robot assisted exercises. Kinematic assessment of robot assisted upper arm reaching single-joint movements.

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia
Robot-mediated therapy (RMT) has been a very dynamic area of research in recent years. Robotics devices are in fact capable to quantify the performances of a rehabilitation task in treatments of several disorders of the arm and the shoulder of variou...

Disk hernia and spondylolisthesis diagnosis using biomechanical features and neural network.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
Artificial neural networks have found applications in various areas of medical diagnosis. The capability of neural networks to learn medical data, mining useful and complex relationships that exist between attributes has earned it a major domain in d...

[Kinematics Modeling and Analysis of Central-driven Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation after Stroke].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
The present paper proposed a central-driven structure of upper limb rehabilitation robot in order to reduce the volume of the robotic arm in the structure, and also to reduce the influence of motor noise, radiation and other adverse factors on upper ...

[A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON SMALL INTESTINAL SUBMUCOSA-SILK COMPOSITE SCAFFOLD TO RECONSTRUCT ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To prepare the small intestinal submucosa (SIS)-silk composite scaffold for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, and to evaluate its properties of biomechanics, biocompatibility, and the influence on synovial fluid leaking into...

Electroencephalographic markers of robot-aided therapy in stroke patients for the evaluation of upper limb rehabilitation.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Stroke is the leading cause of permanent disability in developed countries; its effects may include sensory, motor, and cognitive impairment as well as a reduced ability to perform self-care and participate in social and community activities. A numbe...
