Gait Event Detection for Stroke Patients during Robot-Assisted Gait Training.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Functional electrical stimulation and robot-assisted gait training are techniques which are used in a clinical routine to enhance the rehabilitation process of stroke patients. By combining these technologies, therapy effects could be further improve...

Can robotic gait rehabilitation plus Virtual Reality affect cognitive and behavioural outcomes in patients with chronic stroke? A randomized controlled trial involving three different protocols.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: The rehabilitation of cognitive and behavioral abnormalities in individuals with stroke is essential for promoting patient's recovery and autonomy. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effects of robotic neurorehabilitation using Lokom...

Effects of gait exercise assist robot (GEAR) on subjects with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate whether gait training using the Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) is more effective for improving gait ability than treadmill gait training in chronic stroke subjects.

Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Selective Voluntary Motor Control in Ambulatory Children with Cerebral Palsy.

Indian pediatrics
This pilot study investigated the efficacy of a four week robot-assisted gait training in twelve children with spastic diparesis. Short-term results and a 3-month follow-up showed statistically significantly increased selective motor control, walking...

Rehabilitation of older people with Parkinson's disease: an innovative protocol for RCT study to evaluate the potential of robotic-based technologies.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Parkinson's disease is one of the most frequent causes of disability among the older adults. It is a chronic-progressive neuro-degenerative disease, characterized by several motor disorders. Balance disorders are a symptom that involves t...

Augmented Performance Feedback during Robotic Gait Therapy Results in Moderate Intensity Cardiovascular Exercise in Subacute Stroke.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: Low cardiovascular fitness is common poststroke. Conventional subacute stroke rehabilitation does not meet Australian National Stroke Guidelines for cardiovascular exercise, particularly in mobility-dependent patients. Walking robotics ca...

Machine Learning Methods Predict Individual Upper-Limb Motor Impairment Following Therapy in Chronic Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
. Accurate prediction of clinical impairment in upper-extremity motor function following therapy in chronic stroke patients is a difficult task for clinicians but is key in prescribing appropriate therapeutic strategies. Machine learning is a highly ...

Robot-assisted arm training for treating adult patients with distal radius fracture: a proof-of-concept pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Fracture of the distal radius is a common wrist injury. As to its management after orthopedic (conservative or surgical) treatment, there is weak evidence for conventional rehabilitation interventions. Despite the increasing interest for ...

Effects of interactive robot-enhanced hand rehabilitation in treatment of paediatric hand-burns: A randomized, controlled trial with 3-months follow-up.

Burns : journal of the International Society for Burn Injuries
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of the robotic-assisted exercise with virtual gaming on total active range of motion (ROM) of the digits, hand grip strength (HGS), and hand function in children with hand burns.

Does robot-assisted gait training improve mobility, activities of daily living and quality of life in stroke? A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

Acta neurologica Belgica
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on mobility, activities of daily living (ADLs), and quality of life (QoL) in stroke rehabilitation. Fifty-one stroke patients randomly assigned to Group 1...
