Robot-assisted gait training: more randomized controlled trials are needed! Or maybe not?

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
I was encouraged by the recent article by Kuo et al. entitled "Prediction of robotic neurorehabilitation functional ambulatory outcome in patients with neurological disorders" to write an opinion piece on the possible further development of stationar...

Soft robotic exosuit augmented high intensity gait training on stroke survivors: a pilot study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of serious gait impairments and restoring walking ability is a major goal of physical therapy interventions. Soft robotic exosuits are portable, lightweight, and unobtrusive assistive devices designed to improve ...

Research on Theory and a Performance Analysis of an Innovative Rehabilitation Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
This paper presents an innovative application of a 6-DOF robot in the field of rehabilitation training. This robot operates in a parallel fashion for lower limb movement, which adopts a new structure that can help patients to carry out a variety of r...

Automatic Evaluation of Motor Rehabilitation Exercises Based on Deep Mixture Density Neural Networks.

Journal of biomedical informatics
An automatic assessment system for physical telerehabilitation could reduce the time and cost of treatments. But such assessment involves stochastic uncertainties, nonlinearities, and complexities of human movement. Probabilistic models and deep stru...

Application of the extended technology acceptance model to explore clinician likelihood to use robotics in rehabilitation.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Evidence suggests that patients with upper limb impairment following a stroke do not receive recommended amounts of motor practice. Robotics provide a potential solution to address this gap, but clinical adoption is low. The aim of this stud...

The Experiences of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Patients With Neurological Disorders: A Qualitative Study.

Rehabilitation nursing : the official journal of the Association of Rehabilitation Nurses
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to explore the rehabilitation experiences and perceptions of patients with neurological disorders who have used the Lokomat Augmented Feedback module, a robot-assisted gait training device.

Robot-assisted training using hybrid assistive limb ameliorates gait ability in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
OBJECTIVE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL; CYBERDYNE, Inc., Japan) is a wearable robot device that provides effective gait assistance according to voluntary intention by detecting weak bioelectrical signals of neuromuscular activity on the surface of...

Technical Feasibility of Supervision of Stretching Exercises by a Humanoid Robot Coach for Chronic Low Back Pain: The R-COOL Randomized Trial.

BioMed research international
Adherence to exercise programs for chronic low back pain (CLBP) is a major issue. The R-COOL feasibility study evaluated humanoid robot supervision of exercise for CLBP. Aims are as follows: (1) compare stretching sessions between the robot and a phy...

Acceptability and Preliminary Results of Technology-Assisted Balance Training in Parkinson's Disease.

International journal of environmental research and public health
(1) Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most common causes of disability among older individuals. The advanced stages of PD are usually characterized by postural instability and, as a consequence, falls. Those are among the main factor...

Robot-assisted gait training with auditory and visual cues in Parkinson's disease: A randomized controlled trial.

Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) may have beneficial effects on Parkinson's disease (PD); however, the evidence to date is inconsistent.
