Brief exosuit use improves post-stroke gait.

Science robotics
After only 2 weeks of training with an exoskeleton suit, post-stroke individuals improved their knee flexion and gait.

User preference optimization for control of ankle exoskeletons using sample efficient active learning.

Science robotics
One challenge to achieving widespread success of augmentative exoskeletons is accurately adjusting the controller to provide cooperative assistance with their wearer. Often, the controller parameters are "tuned" to optimize a physiological or biomech...

Active Human-Following Control of an Exoskeleton Robot With Body Weight Support.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
This article presents an active human-following control of the lower limb exoskeleton for gait training. First, to improve safety, considering the human balance, the OpenPose-based visual feedback is used to estimate the individual's pose, then, the ...

Clinical Uptake of Pediatric Exoskeletons: Pilot Study Using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: While the design and clinical evidence base of robot-assisted gait training devices has been advancing, few studies investigate user experiences with accessing and using such devices in pediatric rehabilitation. This pilot study aims to fu...

Effect of exoskeleton robot-assisted training on gait function in chronic stroke survivors: a systematic review of randomised controlled trials.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: Numbers of research have reported the usage of robot-assisted gait training for walking restoration post-stroke. However, no consistent conclusion has been reached yet about the efficacy of exoskeleton robot-assisted training (ERAT) on ga...

Direction-dependent differences in the quality and quantity of horizontal reaching in people after stroke.

Journal of neurophysiology
Arm reaching is often impaired in individuals with stroke. Nonetheless, how aiming directions influence reaching performance and how such differences change with motor recovery over time remain unclear. Here, we elucidated kinematic parameters of rea...

Effectiveness and Users' Perceptions of Upper Extremity Exoskeletons and Robot-Assisted Devices in Children with Physical Disabilities: Systematic Review.

Physical & occupational therapy in pediatrics
AIM: Systematically determine the effectiveness and users' perceptions of upper extremity (UE) exoskeletons and robot-assisted devices for pediatric rehabilitation.

Impairments of the ipsilesional upper-extremity in the first 6-months post-stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Ipsilesional motor impairments of the arm are common after stroke. Previous studies have suggested that severity of contralesional arm impairment and/or hemisphere of lesion may predict the severity of ipsilesional arm impairments. Histor...

A Novel Soft Glove Utilizing Honeycomb Pneumatic Actuators (HPAs) for Assisting Activities of Daily Living.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Fabric-based pneumatic actuators (FPAs) are extensively employed in the design of lightweight and compliant soft wearable assistive gloves. However, conventional FPAs typically exhibit limited output force, thereby restricting the applications of suc...

An Intelligent Rehabilitation Assessment Method for Stroke Patients Based on Lower Limb Exoskeleton Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The 6-min walk distance (6MWD) and the Fugl-Meyer assessment lower-limb subscale (FMA-LE) of the stroke patients provide the critical evaluation standards for the effect of training and guidance of the training programs. However, gait assessment for ...
