Gaussian Process Trajectory Learning and Synthesis of Individualized Gait Motions.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a Gaussian process-based method for trajectory learning and generation of individualized gait motions at arbitrary user-designated walking speeds, intended to be used in generating reference motions for robotic gait rehabilitation...

Development of a robotic walker for individuals with cerebral palsy.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
This study describes the first use of a robotic walker in youth and young adults with cerebral palsy (CP) Gross Motor Function Classification (GMFCS) IV. Semi-structured interviews were conducted before and after each robotic walker trial. Interview...

Leaving hip rotation out of a conventional 3D gait model improves discrimination of pathological gait in cerebral palsy: A novel neural network analysis.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Complex clinical gait analysis results can be expressed as single number gait deviations by applying multivariate processing methods. The original Movement Deviation Profile (MDP) quantifies the deviation of abnormal gait using the most t...

Gait-Based Diplegia Classification Using LSMT Networks.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Diplegia is a specific subcategory of the wide spectrum of motion disorders gathered under the name of cerebral palsy. Recent works proposed to use gait analysis for diplegia classification paving the way for automated analysis. A clinically establis...

Toward Standardizing the Classification of Robotic Gait Rehabilitation Systems.

IEEE reviews in biomedical engineering
With the existence of numerous rehabilitation systems, classification and comparison becomes difficult, especially due to the many factors involved. Moreover, most current reviews are descriptive and do not provide systematic methods for the visual c...

Do powered over-ground lower limb robotic exoskeletons affect outcomes in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury?

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
To assess the effects of lower limb robotic exoskeletons on outcomes in the rehabilitation of people with acquired brain injury. A systematic review of seven electronic databases was conducted. The primary outcome of interest was neuromuscular funct...

Dual-task training of children with neuromotor disorders during robot-assisted gait therapy: prerequisites of patients and influence on leg muscle activity.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Walking in daily life is complex entailing various prerequisites such as leg strength, trunk stability or cognitive and motor dual task (DT) activities. Conventional physiotherapy can be complemented with robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT...

Exoskeleton assistance symmetry matters: unilateral assistance reduces metabolic cost, but relatively less than bilateral assistance.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Many gait impairments are characterized by asymmetry and result in reduced mobility. Exoskeletons could be useful for restoring gait symmetry by assisting only one leg. However, we still have limited understanding of the effects of unilat...
