Combined effects and timing of robotic training and botulinum toxin on upper limb spasticity and motor function: a single‑blinded randomized controlled pilot study.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to evaluate the combined effects of robotic training (RT) and botulinum toxin (BTX) injections on motor function and spasticity in individuals with post-stroke upper limb spasticity (ULS). We also sought to investigate th...

Exploring the Effect of an 8-Week AI-Composed Exercise Program on Pain Intensity and Well-Being in Patients With Spinal Pain: Retrospective Cohort Analysis.

JMIR formative research
BACKGROUND: Spinal pain, one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), significantly impacts the quality of life due to chronic pain and disability. Physical activity has shown promise in managing spinal pain, although optimizing adherence...

Can muscle synergies shed light on the mechanisms underlying motor gains in response to robot-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy?

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) often experience gait impairments. Robot-assisted gait training (RGT) has been shown to have beneficial effects in this patient population. However, clinical outcomes of RGT vary substantially from patien...

Task-oriented robotic rehabilitation for back mobility and functioning in a post-intensive care unit obese patient: A case report.

Journal of back and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
BackgroundIntensive care unit (ICU) acquired weakness is a detrimental condition characterized by muscle weakness, difficulty in weaning from mechanical ventilation, impaired mobility, and functional limitations, severely affecting overall quality of...

Optimized assessment of physical rehabilitation exercises using spatiotemporal, sequential graph-convolutional networks.

Computers in biology and medicine
Rehabilitation is the process of helping people regain or improve lost or impaired function due to injury, illness, or disease. To assist in tracking the progress of patients undergoing rehabilitation, this paper proposes a lightweight graph-based de...

Feasibility and Acceptance of a Remotely Supervised Home-Based Group Mobility Exercise for Older Adults Using a Mobile Robotic Telepresence: A Pilot Study.

Journal of aging and physical activity
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES:  Mobile robotic telepresence could be used to remotely supervise physical activity programs. Our study aims to explore the feasibility, acceptance, and usability of a physical activity program offered synchronously via a mobile...

Augmented Effect of Combined Robotic Assisted Gait Training and Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation-irradiation Technique on Muscle Activation and Ankle Kinematics in Hemiparetic Gait: A Preliminary Study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BackgroundProprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) alone has limited effectiveness in restoring gait, while robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) improves motor relearning through repetitive, task-specific movements. Combining PNF with robotic...

Core reference ontology for individualized exercise prescription.

Scientific data
"Exercise is medicine" emphasizes personalized prescriptions for better efficacy. Current guidelines need more support for personalized prescriptions, posing scientific challenges. Facing those challenges, we gathered data from established guidelines...
