Robotically-driven orthoses exert proximal-to-distal differential recovery on the lower limbs in children with hemiplegia, early after acquired brain injury.

European journal of paediatric neurology : EJPN : official journal of the European Paediatric Neurology Society
Robotically-driven orthoses (RDO) are promising for treating gait impairment in children with hemiplegia after acquired brain injury (ABI). Despite this, existing literature on the employment of RDO in ABI is scanty, and cohorts' age spans throughout...

Dynamic functional network connectivity discriminates mild traumatic brain injury through machine learning.

NeuroImage. Clinical
Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) can result in symptoms that affect a person's cognitive and social abilities. Improvements in diagnostic methodologies are necessary given that current clinical techniques have limited accuracy and are solely based ...

A novel method for the rapid detection of post-translationally modified visinin-like protein 1 in rat models of brain injury.

Brain injury
BACKGROUND: Although elevated serum levels of visinin-like protein 1 (VILIP-1), a neuron-specific calcium sensor protein, are associated with ischaemic stroke, only a single study has evaluated VILIP-1 as a biomarker of traumatic brain injury (TBI). ...

Adaptive hybrid robotic system for rehabilitation of reaching movement after a brain injury: a usability study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Brain injury survivors often present upper-limb motor impairment affecting the execution of functional activities such as reaching. A currently active research line seeking to maximize upper-limb motor recovery after a brain injury, deals...

A Novel Tool for Evaluation of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Patients in the Emergency Department: Does Robotic Assessment of Neuromotor Performance Following Injury Predict the Presence of Postconcussion Symptoms at Follow-up?

Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
OBJECTIVES: Postconcussion symptoms (PCS) are a common complication of mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Currently, there is no validated clinically available method to reliably predict at the time of injury who will subsequently develop PCS. The pu...

Computerized "Learn-As-You-Go" classification of traumatic brain injuries using NEISS narrative data.

Accident; analysis and prevention
One important routine task in injury research is to effectively classify injury circumstances into user-defined categories when using narrative text. However, traditional manual processes can be time consuming, and existing batch learning systems can...

Robotic gait rehabilitation and substitution devices in neurological disorders: where are we now?

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
Gait abnormalities following neurological disorders are often disabling, negatively affecting patients' quality of life. Therefore, regaining of walking is considered one of the primary objectives of the rehabilitation process. To overcome problems r...

Automated Outcome Classification of Computed Tomography Imaging Reports for Pediatric Traumatic Brain Injury.

Academic emergency medicine : official journal of the Society for Academic Emergency Medicine
BACKGROUND: The authors have previously demonstrated highly reliable automated classification of free-text computed tomography (CT) imaging reports using a hybrid system that pairs linguistic (natural language processing) and statistical (machine lea...

Robotic pilot study for analysing spasticity: clinical data versus healthy controls.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Spasticity is a motor disorder that causes significant disability and impairs function. There are no definitive parameters that assess spasticity and there is no universally accepted definition. Spasticity evaluation is important in deter...

Spinal plasticity in robot-mediated therapy for the lower limbs.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Robot-mediated therapy can help improve walking ability in patients following injuries to the central nervous system. However, the efficacy of this treatment varies between patients, and evidence for the mechanisms underlying functional improvements ...
