Clinical effects of robot-assisted gait training and treadmill training for Parkinson's disease. A randomized controlled trial.

Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Although gait disorders strongly contribute to perceived disability in people with Parkinson's disease, clinical trials have failed to identify which task-oriented gait training method can provide the best benefit. Freezing of gait remain...

Robot-Assisted Arm Training in Chronic Stroke: Addition of Transition-to-Task Practice.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
. Robot-assisted therapy provides high-intensity arm rehabilitation that can significantly reduce stroke-related upper extremity (UE) deficits. Motor improvement has been shown at the joints trained, but generalization to real-world function has not ...

Randomized Controlled Trial of Gait Training Using Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) in Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
PURPOSE: This trial aimed to validate the effectiveness of using the Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) in patients with hemiplegia after primary stroke.

Acute stroke rehabilitation for gait training with cyborg type robot Hybrid Assistive Limb: A pilot study.

Journal of the neurological sciences
Robot-assisted gait training following acute stroke could allow patients with severe disability to receive a high dosage and intensity of gait training compared with conventional physical therapy (CP). However, given the limited data on gauging the e...

Efficacy of Cardiac Rehabilitation with Assistance from Hybrid Assistive Limb in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Study.

Cardiology
The hybrid assistive limb (HAL) provides motion assistance based on bioelectrical signals detected on the skin surface when muscle forces are generated. The lumbar-type HAL is expected to expand the therapeutic options for severe cardiac patients who...

Fast and automatic assessment of fall risk by coupling machine learning algorithms with a depth camera to monitor simple balance tasks.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Falls in the elderly constitute a major health issue associated to population ageing. Current clinical tests evaluating fall risk mostly consist in assessing balance abilities. The devices used for these tests can be expensive or inconven...

FriWalk robotic walker: usability, acceptance and UX evaluation after a pilot study in a real environment.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
: Scientific evidence supports that prevention strategies like multicomponent physical exercise help avoiding functional decline, falls and frailty. The robotic walker FriWalk, developed within the ACANTO project, supports the execution of controlled...

Robotic-Assisted Gait Training Effect on Function and Gait Speed in Subacute and Chronic Stroke Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

European neurology
BACKGROUND: The review is intended to provide the effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) for functional gait recovery in poststroke survivors through a systematic review and to provide evidence for gait speed improvements through the ...

Over-ground walking or robot-assisted gait training in people with .multiple sclerosis: does the effect depend on baseline walking speed and disease related disabilities? A systematic review and meta-regression.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: It was suggested that robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) should not be routinely provided to disabled patients in place of conventional over-ground walking training (CGT). There exist several randomised controlled trials reporting on RAG...

Spatiotemporal gait characteristic changes with gait training using the hybrid assistive limb for chronic stroke patients.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation has been attracting attention as a means to carry out "intensive", "repetitive", "task-specific", gait training. The newly developed robotic device, the Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL), is thought to have the possibilit...
