Effect of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in a Large Population of Children With Motor Impairment Due to Cerebral Palsy or Acquired Brain Injury.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate retrospectively the effect of robotic rehabilitation in a large group of children with motor impairment; an additional goal was to identify the effects in children with cerebral palsy (CP) and acquired brain injury (ABI) and wi...

The effect of using Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) on gait pattern in stroke patients: a cross-sectional pilot study.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
: The Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) has been developed to support gait training for stroke patients. The GEAR can assist paretic lower limb swing and stance stability, which make it possible to practice walking without excessive compensation move...

Ankle torque steadiness and gait speed after a single session of robot therapy in individuals with chronic hemiparesis: a pilot study.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
Anklebot therapy has proven to be effective in improving hemiparetic gait. However, neither ankle torque steadiness nor the relationship between changes in force control and functional tasks after therapy with Anklebot were described. To assess whet...

Clinical effects of robot-assisted gait training and treadmill training for Parkinson's disease. A randomized controlled trial.

Annals of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Although gait disorders strongly contribute to perceived disability in people with Parkinson's disease, clinical trials have failed to identify which task-oriented gait training method can provide the best benefit. Freezing of gait remain...

Robot-assisted gait training for balance and lower extremity function in patients with infratentorial stroke: a single-blinded randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Balance impairments are common in patients with infratentorial stroke. Although robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) exerts positive effects on balance among patients with stroke, it remains unclear whether such training is superior to con...

Influences of the biofeedback content on robotic post-stroke gait rehabilitation: electromyographic vs joint torque biofeedback.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Add-on robot-mediated therapy has proven to be more effective than conventional therapy alone in post-stroke gait rehabilitation. Such robot-mediated interventions routinely use also visual biofeedback tools. A better understanding of bio...

Acute stroke rehabilitation for gait training with cyborg type robot Hybrid Assistive Limb: A pilot study.

Journal of the neurological sciences
Robot-assisted gait training following acute stroke could allow patients with severe disability to receive a high dosage and intensity of gait training compared with conventional physical therapy (CP). However, given the limited data on gauging the e...

A robust machine learning enabled decomposition of shear ground reaction forces during the double contact phase of walking.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Dynamic analyses of walking rely on the 3D ground reaction forces (GRF) under each foot, while only the resultant force of both limbs may be recorded on a single-belt instrumented treadmill or when both feet touch the same force platform.

Robotic-Assisted Gait Training Effect on Function and Gait Speed in Subacute and Chronic Stroke Population: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

European neurology
BACKGROUND: The review is intended to provide the effectiveness of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) for functional gait recovery in poststroke survivors through a systematic review and to provide evidence for gait speed improvements through the ...

Assessing the concurrent validity of a gait analysis system integrated into a smart walker in older adults with gait impairments.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To assess the concurrent validity of a smart walker-integrated gait analysis system with the GAITRite system for measuring spatiotemporal gait parameters in potential users of the smart walker.
