Is Robotic Gait Training Feasible in Adults With Disorders of Consciousness?

The Journal of head trauma rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and safety of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in adults with disorders of consciousness (DoC).

Beyond therapists: Technology-aided physical MS rehabilitation delivery.

Multiple sclerosis (Houndmills, Basingstoke, England)
In the last decade, rehabilitation technology has been developed, investigated, and entered specialized clinical settings. In this chapter, we first discuss the potential of rehabilitation technology to support the achievement of key factors in motor...

Optimized Design of a Variable Viscosity Link for Robotic AFO.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Herein we present the development of a novel Ankle Foot Orthosis for gait support of people with foot-drop symptoms. The developed AFO uses an elastic link mechanism to brake the ankle joint during initial contact, thus mitigating foot-slap, and an i...

A Basic Study on Detection of Movement State in Stride by Artificial Neural Network for Estimating Stride Length of Hemiplegic Gait Using IMU.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
In order to perform rehabilitation training for improving motor function, measurement of movements and evaluation of motor function become effective. In our research group, the method of estimating stride length during walking by using an inertial se...

A Comprehensive Analysis of Sensorimotor Mechanisms of Inter-Leg Coordination in Gait Using the Variable Stiffness Treadmill: Physiological Insights for Improved Robot-Assisted Gait Therapy.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Rehabilitation robotics is an emerging field in which gait training has been largely automated allowing more intensive, repetitive motions which are important for facilitating recovery. However, there is no clear evidence that robot-assisted gait tra...

Improvement of motor performance in children with cerebral palsy treated with exoskeleton robotic training: A retrospective explorative analysis.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is widely used in children with cerebral palsy (CP), but information about optimal intervention frequency and duration is still lacking and the current evidence about effect of RAGT on motor endurance a...

Comparative Effects of Different Assistance Force During Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Locomotor Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke: An Assessor-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force controlled robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional physiotherapy on locomotor functions in patients with ...

Effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training on motor impairments in people with Parkinson's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the effectiveness of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on motor impairments in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). A computer-based systematic literature search was performed in ...

Effect of reducing assistance during robot-assisted gait training on step length asymmetry in patients with hemiplegic stroke: A randomized controlled pilot trial.

Medicine
BACKGROUND: An assist-as-needed robot-assisted gait training protocol was recently developed. It allows active movement during training, but its exact criteria remain unknown. Asymmetric step length is a common abnormal gait pattern in hemiplegic str...

The role of robotic gait training coupled with virtual reality in boosting the rehabilitative outcomes in patients with multiple sclerosis.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
Motor impairment is the most common symptom in multiple sclerosis (MS). Thus, a variety of new rehabilitative strategies, including robotic gait training, have been implemented, showing their effectiveness. The aim of our study was to investigate whe...
