Hybrid Assistive Limb® for sporadic inclusion body myositis: A case series.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
We evaluated the efficacy of rehabilitation therapy with Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL; hereafter HAL therapy) in three patients diagnosed with sporadic inclusion body myositis (sIBM) who were hospitalized to undergo HAL therapy. Among them, one patien...

Robotic Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study on End-Effectors and Neurophysiological Outcomes.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Robot-aided gait training (RAGT) has been implemented to provide patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with a physiological limb activation during gait, cognitive engagement, and an appropriate stimulation of peripheral receptors, which are essentia...

A Framework for User Adaptation and Profiling for Social Robotics in Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Physical rehabilitation therapies for children present a challenge, and its success-the improvement of the patient's condition-depends on many factors, such as the patient's attitude and motivation, the correct execution of the exercises prescribed b...

Recognition and Repetition Counting for Local Muscular Endurance Exercises in Exercise-Based Rehabilitation: A Comparative Study Using Artificial Intelligence Models.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation requires patients to perform a set of certain prescribed exercises a specific number of times. Local muscular endurance exercises are an important part of the rehabilitation program. Automatic exercise recognitio...

Neurocognitive robot-assisted rehabilitation of hand function: a randomized control trial on motor recovery in subacute stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Hand function is often impaired after stroke, strongly affecting the ability to perform daily activities. Upper limb robotic devices have been developed to complement rehabilitation therapy offered to persons who suffered a stroke, but th...

Caregiver burden in stroke inpatients: a randomized study comparing robot-assisted gait training and conventional therapy.

Acta neurologica Belgica
The effects of caregiver burden during the inpatient rehabilitation period have not yet been investigated. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the burden on stroke survivors' caregivers during the inpatient rehabilitation period, and to compare...

Passive, yet not inactive: robotic exoskeleton walking increases cortical activation dependent on task.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Experimental designs using surrogate gait-like movements, such as in functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cannot fully capture the cortical activation associated with overground gait. Overground gait in a robotic exoskeleton may b...

Improving abnormal gait patterns by using a gait exercise assist robot (GEAR) in chronic stroke subjects: A randomized, controlled, pilot trial.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Although the Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) has been reported to effectively improve gait of hemiplegic patients, no study has investigated its use in chronic stroke patients. It is possible to facilitate gait reorganization by gait tr...

Gait improvements by assisting hip movements with the robot in children with cerebral palsy: a pilot randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Recently, rehabilitation robots are expected to improve the gait of cerebral palsy (CP) children. However, only few previous studies have reported the kinematic and kinetic changes by using wearable exoskeleton robots. The aim of this stu...

Functional recovery in multiple sclerosis patients undergoing rehabilitation programs is associated with plasma levels of hemostasis inhibitors.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
BACKGROUND: Increasing evidence for contribution of hemostasis components in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been reported. Hemostasis protein inhibitors display key regulatory roles, extending to regulation of innate immune response and inflammation, an...
