Automation of motor dexterity assessment.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Motor dexterity assessment is regularly performed in rehabilitation wards to establish patient status and automatization for such routinary task is sought. A system for automatizing the assessment of motor dexterity based on the Fugl-Meyer scale and ...

An optimized design of a parallel robot for gait training.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The guidelines for enhancing robot-assisted training for post-stroke survivors head towards increasing exercise realism and variability; in particular lower limb rehabilitation needs the patient to feel challenged to adapt his locomotion and dynamic ...

Addition of forelimb training reduces gains from robotic gait training in a rat model of spinal cord injury.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
To restore locomotor function following spinal cord injury the disrupted descending supraspinal drive needs to be re-connected to regions caudal to the injury. Robotic gait training aims to facilitate recovery by stimulating the proprioceptive networ...

Timing of intermittent torque control with wire-driven gait training robot lifting toe trajectory for trip avoidance.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait training robots are useful for changing gait patterns and decreasing risk of trip. Previous research has reported that decreasing duration of the assistance or guidance of the robot is beneficial for efficient gait training. Although robotic int...

Toward goal-oriented robotic gait training: The effect of gait speed and stride length on lower extremity joint torques.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted gait training is becoming increasingly common to support recovery of walking function after neurological injury. How to formulate controllers capable of promoting desired features in gait, i.e. goals, is complicated by the limited unde...

A novel robot-assisted training approach for improving gait symmetry after stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait asymmetry as a consequence of hemiparesis is known as a serious long-term disability, where typical compensatory gait movements are used by stroke subjects in order to cope with their daily activities. This study presents a gait symmetry trainin...

[Effect of different intensity treadmill training on repair of micro-injured Achilles tendon in rats].

Zhongguo xiu fu chong jian wai ke za zhi = Zhongguo xiufu chongjian waike zazhi = Chinese journal of reparative and reconstructive surgery
OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of different intensity treadmill training on the repair of micro-injured Achilles tendon induced by collagenase in rats.

[Robotic systems for gait re-education in cases of spinal cord injury: a systematic review].

Revista de neurologia
INTRODUCTION: The evidence underlying robotic body weight supported treadmill training in patients with spinal cord injury remains poorly characterized.

Design of Rehabilitation Treatment Coach Robot.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In the rehabilitation treatment for at-home patients, it is not only costly for a patient to hire a professional therapist or personal trainer, but also time consuming for a therapist or trainer to visit all the patients. To improve the situation, we...

A novel Robotic Gait Training System (RGTS) may facilitate functional recovery after stroke: A feasibility and safety study.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training has been introduced as a practical treatment adjunctive to traditional stroke rehabilitation to provide high-intensity repetitive training. The design of robots is usually based on either the end-effector and ...
