Robotic-assisted gait training improves walking abilities in diplegic children with cerebral palsy.

European journal of paediatric neurology : EJPN : official journal of the European Paediatric Neurology Society
The robotic-assisted gait training therapy (RAGT), based on intensity and repetition of movement, presents beneficial effects on recovery and improvement of postural and locomotor functions of the patient. This study sought to highlight the effect of...

Comparison of the effects on dynamic balance and aerobic capacity between objective and subjective methods of high-intensity robot-assisted gait training in chronic stroke patients: a randomized controlled trial.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is effective for improving dynamic balance and aerobic capacity, but previous RAGT method does not set suitable training intensity. Recently, high-intensity treadmill gait training at 70% of heart rate ...

Patient-Centered Robot-Aided Passive Neurorehabilitation Exercise Based on Safety-Motion Decision-Making Mechanism.

BioMed research international
Safety is one of the crucial issues for robot-aided neurorehabilitation exercise. When it comes to the passive rehabilitation training for stroke patients, the existing control strategies are usually just based on position control to carry out the tr...

Feasibility and safety of early lower limb robot-assisted training in sub-acute stroke patients: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: So far, the development of robotic devices for the early lower limb mobilization in the sub-acute phase after stroke has received limited attention.

Rehabilitation robotics for the upper extremity: review with new directions for orthopaedic disorders.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
The focus of research using technological innovations such as robotic devices has been on interventions to improve upper extremity function in neurologic populations, particularly patients with stroke. There is a growing body of evidence describing r...

Motivation, expectations, and usability of a driven gait orthosis in stroke patients and their therapists.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In the development of efficacious driven gait orthoses (DGO), it is an added value to consider patients' and therapists' perspectives concerning robot-assisted gait training (RAGT). A better understanding of these issues may improve the p...

Effectiveness of endurance exercise training in patients with coronary artery disease: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

European journal of cardiovascular nursing
BACKGROUND: Exercise interventions apparently reduce the risks of and prevent coronary artery disease (CAD). Developing an exercise intervention for patients with CAD is a rapidly expanding focus worldwide. The results of previous studies are inconsi...

Using robot fully assisted functional movements in upper-limb rehabilitation of chronic stroke patients: preliminary results.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotic rehabilitation is promising to promote function in stroke patients. The assist as needed training paradigm has shown to stimulate neuroplasticity but often cannot be used because stroke patients are too impaired to actively contro...

Tele-rehabilitation using in-house wearable ankle rehabilitation robot.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
This article explores wide-ranging potential of the wearable ankle robot for in-house rehabilitation. The presented robot has been conceptualized following a brief analysis of the existing technologies, systems, and solutions for in-house physical an...
