Usefulness of robotic gait training plus neuromodulation in chronic spinal cord injury: a case report.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: Spinal cord injury (SCI) affects more than 2.5 million people worldwide, often leading to severe disability. Thus, a proper management of individuals with SCI is required either in the acute or in the post-acute rehabilitative phase.

The effects of robot-assisted gait training in progressive multiple sclerosis: A randomized controlled trial.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
BACKGROUND: Gait and mobility impairments are common in progressive multiple sclerosis (MS), leading to reduced quality of life (QoL).

Robot training for hand motor recovery in subacute stroke patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Journal of hand therapy : official journal of the American Society of Hand Therapists
BACKGROUND: Evidence of superiority of robot training for the hand over classical therapies in stroke patients remains controversial. During the subacute stage, hand training is likely to be the most useful.

Improving proprioceptive deficits after stroke through robot-assisted training of the upper limb: a pilot case report study.

Neurocase
The purpose of this study was to determine whether a conventional robot-assisted therapy of the upper limb was able to improve proprioception and motor recovery of an individual after stroke who exhibited proprioceptive deficits. After robotic sensor...

Effects of combining robot-assisted therapy with neuromuscular electrical stimulation on motor impairment, motor and daily function, and quality of life in patients with chronic stroke: a double-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted therapy (RT) is a widely used intervention approach to enhance motor recovery in patients after stroke, but its effects on functional improvement remained uncertain. Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) is one potent...

Long-term Effectiveness of Intensive Therapy in Chronic Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
Background While recent clinical trials involving robot-assisted therapy have failed to show clinically significant improvement versus conventional therapy, it is possible that a broader strategy of intensive therapy-to include robot-assisted rehabil...

A Context-Aware Application to Increase Elderly Users Compliance with Physical Rehabilitation Exercises at Home via Animatronic Biofeedback.

Journal of medical systems
Biofeedback from physical rehabilitation exercises has proved to lead to faster recovery, better outcomes, and increased patient motivation. In addition, it allows the physical rehabilitation processes carried out at the clinic to be complemented wit...

Robotic therapy for chronic stroke: general recovery of impairment or improved task-specific skill?

Journal of neurophysiology
There is a great need to develop new approaches for rehabilitation of the upper limb after stroke. Robotic therapy is a promising form of neurorehabilitation that can be delivered in higher doses than conventional therapy. Here we sought to determine...

Proximal tibia fracture in a patient with incomplete spinal cord injury associated with robotic treadmill training.

Spinal cord
STUDY DESIGN: One case report of proximal tibia fracture in a patient with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) associated with robotic treadmill training.
