Overground Gait Training With a Wearable Robot in Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Cerebral palsy (CP) is the most common developmental motor disorder in children. Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) using a wearable robot can provide intensive overground walking experience.

Computer Vision for Gait Assessment in Cerebral Palsy: Metric Learning and Confidence Estimation.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Assessing the motor impairments of individuals with neurological disorders holds significant importance in clinical practice. Currently, these clinical assessments are time-intensive and depend on qualitative scales administered by trained healthcare...

Knee Angle Estimation from Surface EMG during Walking Using Attention-Based Deep Recurrent Neural Networks: Feasibility and Initial Demonstration in Cerebral Palsy.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Accurately estimating knee joint angle during walking from surface electromyography (sEMG) signals can enable more natural control of wearable robotics like exoskeletons. However, challenges exist due to variability across individuals and sessions. T...

Improving trunk posture control in children with CP through a cable-driven robotic hippotherapy: A randomized controlled feasibility study.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Many children with cerebral palsy (CP) show impairments in trunk posture control, one crucial factor contributing to impairments in gait and arm manipulation.

The Impact of Botulinum Toxin Combined with Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Spasticity and Gross Motor Function on Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy.

Developmental neurorehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the impact of combining botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) injection with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on lower limb spasticity and motor function in children with cerebral palsy.

DE-AFO: A Robotic Ankle Foot Orthosis for Children with Cerebral Palsy Powered by Dielectric Elastomer Artificial Muscle.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Conventional passive ankle foot orthoses (AFOs) have not seen substantial advances or functional improvements for decades, failing to meet the demands of many stakeholders, especially the pediatric population with neurological disorders. Our objectiv...

Robot-assisted gait training improves walking and cerebral connectivity in children with unilateral cerebral palsy.

Pediatric research
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is promising to help walking rehabilitation in cerebral palsy, but training-induced neuroplastic effects have little been investigated.

Outcome measures applied to robotic assistive technology for people with cerebral palsy: a pilot study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The application of robotic devices is being used as Assistive Technology (AT) for improving rehabilitation interventions. The purposes of this research were to (1) test a novel low-cost robotic AT to support interventions for people with Cerebral Pal...

Machine learning applied to gait analysis data in cerebral palsy and stroke: A systematic review.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Among neurological pathologies, cerebral palsy and stroke are the main contributors to walking disorders. Machine learning methods have been proposed in the recent literature to analyze gait data from these patients. However, machine lear...

Measuring functional hand use in children with unilateral cerebral palsy using accelerometry and machine learning.

Developmental medicine and child neurology
AIM: To investigate wearable sensors for measuring functional hand use in children with unilateral cerebral palsy (CP).
