Using Robots at Home to Support Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Journal of medical Internet research
BACKGROUND: Socially assistive robots are being developed for patients to help manage chronic health conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Adherence to medication and availability of rehabilitation are suboptimal in this pa...

Systematic Review of Appropriate Robotic Intervention for Gait Function in Subacute Stroke Patients.

BioMed research international
The purpose of this study was to critically evaluate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on gait-related function in patients with acute/subacute stroke. We conducted a systematic review of randomized controlled trials published betwee...

Comparison of proximal versus distal upper-limb robotic rehabilitation on motor performance after stroke: a cluster controlled trial.

Scientific reports
This study examined the treatment efficacy of proximal-emphasized robotic rehabilitation by using the InMotion ARM (P-IMT) versus distal-emphasized robotic rehabilitation by using the InMotion WRIST (D-IMT) in patients with stroke. A total of 40 pati...

Efficacy of the Regent Suit-based rehabilitation on gait EMG patterns in hemiparetic subjects: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: The recovery of the functional limb mobility of patients with cerebral damages can take great benefit of the role offered by proprioceptive rehabilitation. Recently have been developed a special Regent Suit (RS) for rehabilitative applica...

Effect of a short-term physical activity intervention on liver fat content in obese children.

Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is the most common chronic liver disease and can present with advanced fibrosis or nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a 7-day intense physical activity interventio...

A bicentric controlled study on the effects of aquatic Ai Chi in Parkinson disease.

Complementary therapies in medicine
OBJECTIVES: Various exercise strategies have been suggested to address movement deficits in order to improve motor function and quality of life for individuals in the early or moderate stages of Parkinson disease. The purpose is to evaluate the effec...

Robotic finger perturbation training improves finger postural steadiness and hand dexterity.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
The purpose of the study was to understand the effect of robotic finger perturbation training on steadiness in finger posture and hand dexterity in healthy young adults. A mobile robotic finger training system was designed to have the functions of hi...

Effect of robotic-assisted gait rehabilitation on dynamic equilibrium control in the gait of children with cerebral palsy.

Gait & posture
Due to the intensity and repetition of movement, roboticassisted gait training therapy could have a beneficial effect on the recovery and improvement of postural and locomotor functions of the patient. This study sought to highlight the effects of ro...

Hand Rehabilitation Robotics on Poststroke Motor Recovery.

Behavioural neurology
The recovery of hand function is one of the most challenging topics in stroke rehabilitation. Although the robot-assisted therapy has got some good results in the latest decades, the development of hand rehabilitation robotics is left behind. Existin...

Research on Safety and Compliance of a New Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot.

Journal of healthcare engineering
The lower limb rehabilitation robot is an application of robotic technology for stroke people with lower limb disabilities. A new applicable and effective sitting/lying lower limb rehabilitation robot (LLR-Ro) is proposed, which has the mechanical li...
