Increase and Decrease in Velocity and Force During Exercise with a Hybrid Robotic-FES Rehabilitation System.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Early rehabilitation is beneficial for stroke patients, but it is often delayed since the patients are often bedbound due to their general condition. New robotic rehabilitation devices such as ROBERT® enable patients to exercise even while bedbound. ...

Detection thresholds for electrostimulation combined with robotic leg support in sub-acute stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Stroke is one of the leading causes of disability in adults in the European Union. It often leads to motor impairments, such as a hemiparetic lower extremity. Research indicates that early task-specific and intensive training promotes neuroplasticity...

Effects of partial body-weight support and functional electrical stimulation on gait characteristics during treadmill locomotion: Pros and cons of saddle-seat-type body-weight support.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robotic therapy for rehabilitation of the lower extremity is currently in its early stage of development. Aiming at exploring an efficacious intervention for gait rehabilitation, we investigate the characteristics of an end-effector gait-training dev...

Position and torque control via rehabilitation robot and functional electrical stimulation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Two common rehabilitation therapies for individuals possessing neurological conditions are functional electrical stimulation (FES) and robotic assistance. This paper focuses on combining the two rehabilitation strategies for use on the biceps brachii...

Neural network based forward prediction of bladder pressure using pudendal nerve electrical activity.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Individuals with spinal cord injury or neurological disorders have problems in urinary bladder storage and in voiding function. In these people, the detrusor of bladder contracts at low volume and this causes incontinence. The goal of bladder control...
