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...

Cerebral Palsy Prediction with Frequency Attention Informed Graph Convolutional Networks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Early diagnosis and intervention are clinically con-sidered the paramount part of treating cerebral palsy (CP), so it is essential to design an efficient and interpretable automatic prediction system for CP. We highlight a significant difference betw...

Virtual reality combined with robot-assisted gait training to improve walking ability of children with cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled trial.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have disorders of posture and movement and which can limit physical activities such as walkingOBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) combined with robot-assist...

Gait changes following robot-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy.

Physiological research
This study investigated changes of gait pattern induced by a 4-week robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 10.4+/-3.2 years old by using computerized gait analysis (CGA). Pre-...

Differentiating Motor Coordination in Children with Cerebral Palsy and Typically Developing Populations Through Exploratory Factor Analysis of Robotic Assessments.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
General motor and executive functions are integral for tasks of daily living and are typically assessed when quantifying impairment of an individual. Robotic tasks offer highly repeatable and objective measures of motor and cognitive function. Additi...

Robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy does not change gait pattern in children with cerebral palsy.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Although robotic-assisted locomotor treadmill therapy is utilized on children with cerebral palsy (CP), its impact on the gait pattern in childhood is not fully described. We investigated the outcome of robotized gait training focusing on the gait pa...

The effect of patient-specific factors on responsiveness to robot-assisted gait training in patients with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: No general recommendations are yet available for the application of robot-assisted treadmill therapy for children with cerebral palsy regarding the length and intensity of the intervention.

Gait-assisted exoskeletons for children with cerebral palsy or spinal muscular atrophy: A systematic review.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Palsy (CP) and Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) are common causes of motor disability in childhood. Gait exoskeletons are currently being used as part of rehabilitation for children with walking difficulties.

Differentiating Motor Coordination and Position Sense in Children with Cerebral Palsy and Typically Developing Populations Through Robotic Assessments.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Motor function and coordination improve as children age. Robotic assessments of motor function and coordination have been shown to be repeatable, objective, and accurate. Additionally, robotic assessments have been used to measure and quantify defici...

Effect of robot-assisted gait training on motor functions in adolescent and young adult patients with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy: A randomized controlled trial.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) allows an intensive gait training in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). There are few evidences on the effectiveness of RAGT in adults with CP.
