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...

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.
