Neurotechnology's Prospects for Bringing About Meaningful Reductions in Neurological Impairment.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Here we report and comment on the magnitudes of post-stroke impairment reduction currently observed using new neurotechnologies. We argue that neurotechnology's best use case is impairment reduction as this is neither the primary strength nor main go...

Body weight-supported gait training for patients with spinal cord injury: a network meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Scientific reports
Different body weight-supported gait-training strategies are available for improving ambulation in individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI). These include body weight-supported overground training (BWSOGT), body weight-supported treadmill training (...

A robot for overground physical human-robot interaction experiments.

PloS one
Many anticipated physical human-robot interaction (pHRI) applications in the near future are overground tasks such as walking assistance. For investigating the biomechanics of human movement during pHRI, this work presents Ophrie, a novel interactive...

Patient-Specific Exercises with the Development of an End-Effector Type Upper Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Journal of healthcare engineering
End-effector type upper limb rehabilitation robots (ULRRs) are connected to patients at one distal point, making them have simple structures and less complex control algorithms, and they can avoid abnormal motion and posture of the target anatomical ...

Revisiting dose and intensity of training: Opportunities to enhance recovery following stroke.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
PURPOSE: Stroke is a global leading cause of adult disability with survivors often enduring persistent impairments and loss of function. Both intensity and dosage of training appear to be important factors to help restore behavior. However, current p...

Internet of Things (IoT) Enables Robot-Assisted Therapy as a Home Program for Training Upper Limb Functions in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Control Crossover Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To compare the effects of using an Internet of things (IoT)-assisted tenodesis-induced-grip exoskeleton robot (TIGER) and task-specific motor training (TSMT) as home programs for the upper-limb (UL) functions of patients with chronic strok...

Do people with multiple sclerosis perceive upper limb improvements from robotic-mediated therapy? A mixed methods study.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
BACKGROUND: Robot-mediated training is increasingly considered as a rehabilitation intervention targeting upper limb disability. However, experiences of such an intervention have been rarely explored in the multiple sclerosis population. This mixed m...

Is Leg-Driven Treadmill-Based Exoskeleton Robot Training Beneficial to Poststroke Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to systematically review the effects of leg-driven treadmill-based exoskeleton robot training on balance and walking ability in poststroke patients.

The effects of robotic assistance on upper limb spatial muscle synergies in healthy people during planar upper-limb training.

PloS one
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is a commonly adopted technique used to restore motor functionality of neurological patients. However, despite promising results were achieved, the effects of human-robot interaction on human motor control and the r...

Adjustable Parameters and the Effectiveness of Adjunct Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals with Chronic Stroke.

International journal of environmental research and public health
The aims of this study were (1) to compare the effect of robot-assisted gait orthosis (RAGO) plus conventional physiotherapy with the effect of conventional therapy alone on functional outcomes, including balance, walking ability, muscle strength, da...
