Exploiting telerobotics for sensorimotor rehabilitation: a locomotor embodiment.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Manual treadmill training is used for rehabilitating locomotor impairments but can be physically demanding for trainers. This has been addressed by enlisting robots, but in doing so, the ability of trainers to use their experience and jud...

Robotic Locomotor Training Leads to Cardiovascular Changes in Individuals With Incomplete Spinal Cord Injury Over a 24-Week Rehabilitation Period: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To describe the effect of robotic locomotor training (RLT) and activity-based training (ABT) on cardiovascular indices during various physiological positions in individuals with spinal cord injury.

Out-of-Distribution Detection of Human Activity Recognition with Smartwatch Inertial Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Out-of-distribution (OOD) in the context of Human Activity Recognition (HAR) refers to data from activity classes that are not represented in the training data of a Machine Learning (ML) algorithm. OOD data are a challenge to classify accurately for ...

A usability study in patients with stroke using MERLIN, a robotic system based on serious games for upper limb rehabilitation in the home setting.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Neuroscience and neurotechnology are transforming stroke rehabilitation. Robotic devices, in addition to telerehabilitation, are increasingly being used to train the upper limbs after stroke, and their use at home allows us to extend inst...

Effectiveness of robotic balance training on postural instability in patients with mild Parkinson's disease: A pilot, single blind, randomized controlled trial.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether tailored robotic platform training could improve postural stability compared with conventional balance treatment in patients with mild Parkinson's disease.  Design: Randomized single-blind pilot study.

Robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function after stroke: Development of prediction models for reference to therapy.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
BACKGROUND: Recovery of hand function after stroke represents the hardest target for clinicians. Robot-assisted therapy has been proved to be effective for hand recovery. Nevertheless, studies aimed to refer patients to the best therapy are missing.

User training for machine learning controlled upper limb prostheses: a serious game approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Upper limb prosthetics with multiple degrees of freedom (DoFs) are still mostly operated through the clinical standard Direct Control scheme. Machine learning control, on the other hand, allows controlling multiple DoFs although it requir...

Effect of assist-as-needed robotic gait training on the gait pattern post stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Regaining gait capacity is an important rehabilitation goal post stroke. Compared to clinically available robotic gait trainers, robots with an assist-as-needed approach and multiple degrees of freedom (AAN) are expected to support motor ...

The Metabolic Cost of Exercising With a Robotic Exoskeleton: A Comparison of Healthy and Neurologically Impaired People.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
While neuro-recovery is maximized through active engagement, it has been suggested that the use of robotic exoskeletons in neuro-rehabilitation provides passive therapy. Using oxygen consumption (VO) as an indicator of energy expenditure, we investig...

AI Therapist Realizing Expert Verbal Cues for Effective Robot-Assisted Gait Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Repetitive and specific verbal cues by a therapist are essential in aiding a patient's motivation and improving the motor learning process. The verbal cues comprise various expressions, sentences, volumes, and timings, depending on the therapist's pr...
