A review of technological and clinical aspects of robot-aided rehabilitation of upper-extremity after stroke.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or stroke is one of the leading causes of disability and loss of motor function. Millions of people around the world are effected by it each year. Stroke results in disabled arm function. Restoration of arm function is ...

Robotically assisted treadmill exercise training for improving peak fitness in chronic motor incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized controlled trial.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of robotically assisted body weight supported treadmill training (RABWSTT) for improving cardiovascular fitness in chronic motor incomplete spinal cord injury (CMISCI).

Assist-as-Needed Robot-Aided Gait Training Improves Walking Function in Individuals Following Stroke.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
A novel robot-aided assist-as-needed gait training paradigm has been developed recently. This paradigm encourages subjects' active participation during training. Previous pilot studies demonstrated that assist-as-needed robot-aided gait training (RAG...

Robot-assisted gait training in a patient with hereditary spastic paraplegia.

PM & R : the journal of injury, function, and rehabilitation
Robot-assisted gait training has been investigated for restoring walking through activity-dependent neuroplasticity in persons with various neurologic disorders. This case report presents the outcome of robot-assisted gait training combined with phys...

Robot-assisted gait training is not superior to balance training for improving postural instability in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease: a single-blind randomized controlled trial.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The main aim was to compare robotic gait training vs. balance training for reducing postural instability in patients with Parkinson's disease. The secondary aim was to compare their effects on the level of confidence during activities of d...

Humanoid assessing rehabilitative exercises.

Methods of information in medicine
INTRODUCTION: This article is part of the Focus Theme of Methods of Information in Medicine on "New Methodologies for Patients Rehabilitation".

Work-rate-guided exercise testing in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury using a robotics-assisted tilt-table.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Robotics-assisted tilt-table (RTT) technology allows neurological rehabilitation therapy to be started early thus alleviating some secondary complications of prolonged bed rest. This study assessed the feasibility of a novel work-rate-guided...

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in poststroke patients.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demo...
