Effects of combining robot-assisted therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on motor impairment, motor and daily function, and quality of life in patients with chronic stroke: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted therapy (RT) is a widely used intervention approach to enhance motor recovery in patients after stroke, but its effects on functional improvement remained uncertain. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is one potent...

Magnetic nanoparticles and nanocomposites for remote controlled therapies.

Journal of controlled release : official journal of the Controlled Release Society
This review highlights the state-of-the-art in the application of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and their composites for remote controlled therapies. Novel macro- to nano-scale systems that utilize remote controlled drug release due to actuation of M...

Machine Learning Approach to Optimizing Combined Stimulation and Medication Therapies for Parkinson's Disease.

Brain stimulation
BACKGROUND: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the subthalamic region is an established therapy for advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). However, patients often require time-intensive post-operative management to balance their coupled stimulation and medi...

Comparison of robotics, functional electrical stimulation, and motor learning methods for treatment of persistent upper extremity dysfunction after stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To compare response to upper-limb treatment using robotics plus motor learning (ML) versus functional electrical stimulation (FES) plus ML versus ML alone, according to a measure of complex functional everyday tasks for chronic, severely i...

Robot-assisted retroperitoneal lymph node dissection as primary treatment for stage II seminoma germ cell tumor.

International braz j urol : official journal of the Brazilian Society of Urology
INTRODUCTION: Historically, therapeutic avenues for patients with clinical stage II seminoma germ cell tumors (SGCT) were confined to radiotherapy and chemotherapy. While survival rates with these modalities are commendable, both entail substantial l...
