Does robot-assisted gait training improve mobility, activities of daily living and quality of life in stroke? A single-blinded, randomized controlled trial.

Acta neurologica Belgica
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on mobility, activities of daily living (ADLs), and quality of life (QoL) in stroke rehabilitation. Fifty-one stroke patients randomly assigned to Group 1...

Automatic versus manual tuning of robot-assisted gait training in people with neurological disorders.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, therapists choose the amount of assistance for robot-assisted training. This can result in outcomes that are influenced by subjective decisions and tuning of training parameters can be time-consuming. Therefore, vari...

Adaptive predictive systems applied to gait analysis: A systematic review.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Due to the high susceptivity of the walking pattern to be affected by several disorders, accurate analysis methods are necessary. Given the complexity and relevance of such assessment, the utilization of methods to facilitate it plays a s...

Increased gait variability during robot-assisted walking is accompanied by increased sensorimotor brain activity in healthy people.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Gait disorders are major symptoms of neurological diseases affecting the quality of life. Interventions that restore walking and allow patients to maintain safe and independent mobility are essential. Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) p...

Effectiveness of Intervention Based on End-effector Gait Trainer in Older Patients With Stroke: A Systematic Review.

Journal of the American Medical Directors Association
OBJECTIVE: The objective of the article is to analyze the effects of the end-effector technology for gait rehabilitation on acute, subacute, and chronic stroke in order to verify the efficacy of the treatment in older people, based on evidence from r...

Input representations and classification strategies for automated human gait analysis.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Quantitative gait analysis produces a vast amount of data, which can be difficult to analyze. Automated gait classification based on machine learning techniques bear the potential to support clinicians in comprehending these complex data....

A new deep learning-based method for the detection of gait events in children with gait disorders: Proof-of-concept and concurrent validity.

Journal of biomechanics
The stance and swing phases of the gait cycle are defined by foot strike (FS) and foot off (FO). Accurate determination of these events is thus an essential component of 3D motion recordings processing. Several methods have been developed for the aut...

Safety and immediate effects of Hybrid Assistive Limb in children with cerebral palsy: A pilot study.

Brain & development
PURPOSE: Early intervention is effective for developing motor ability and preventing contractures and deformities in patients with cerebral palsy (CP). Gait training using the newly developed Hybrid Assistive Limb (HAL) shows promise as an interventi...

Training for Walking Efficiency With a Wearable Hip-Assist Robot in Patients With Stroke: A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial.

Stroke
Background and Purpose- The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of gait training with a newly developed wearable hip-assist robot on locomotor function and efficiency in patients with chronic stroke. Methods- Twenty-eight patients wi...

A Dual-Modal Attention-Enhanced Deep Learning Network for Quantification of Parkinson's Disease Characteristics.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
It is well known that most patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have different degree of movement disorders, such as shuffling, festination and akinetic episodes, which could degenerate the life quality of PD patients. Therefore, it is very useful ...
