Effect of the Synchronization-Based Control of a Wearable Robot Having a Non-Exoskeletal Structure on the Hemiplegic Gait of Stroke Patients.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
We have been developing the robotic wear curara as both a welfare device and rehabilitation robot that assists the elderly and disabled. curara is aimed at user friendliness. We have, thus, chosen a non-exoskeleton structure made of a plastic so that...

Effects of integrating rhythmic arm swing into robot-assisted walking in patients with subacute stroke: a randomized controlled pilot study.

International journal of rehabilitation research. Internationale Zeitschrift fur Rehabilitationsforschung. Revue internationale de recherches de readaptation
This study aimed to identify the effects of rhythmic arm swing during robot-assisted walking training on balance, gait, motor function, and activities of daily living among patients with subacute stroke. Twenty patients with subacute stroke were recr...

Clinical features of patients who might benefit more from walking robotic training.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Robotic walking training improves probability to reach an autonomous walking in non-ambulant patients affected by subacute stroke. However, little information is available regarding the prognostic factors for identifying best responder pa...

A wearable resistive robot facilitates locomotor adaptations during gait.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Robotic-resisted treadmill walking is a form of task-specific training that has been used to improve gait function in individuals with neurological injury, such as stroke, spinal cord injury, or cerebral palsy. Traditionally, these device...

Robot-Assisted Body-Weight-Supported Treadmill Training in Gait Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis Patients: A Pilot Study.

Advances in experimental medicine and biology
This study deals with the use of a robot-assisted body-weight-supported treadmill training in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients with gait dysfunction. Twenty MS patients (10 men and 10 women) of the mean of 46.3 ± 8.5 years were assigned to a six-week...

Exploration of Two Training Paradigms Using Forced Induced Weight Shifting With the Tethered Pelvic Assist Device to Reduce Asymmetry in Individuals After Stroke: Case Reports.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
Many robotic devices in rehabilitation incorporate an assist-as-needed haptic guidance paradigm to promote training. This error reduction model, while beneficial for skill acquisition, could be detrimental for long-term retention. Error augmentation ...

A novel robot-assisted training approach for improving gait symmetry after stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Gait asymmetry as a consequence of hemiparesis is known as a serious long-term disability, where typical compensatory gait movements are used by stroke subjects in order to cope with their daily activities. This study presents a gait symmetry trainin...

Use of Lower-Limb Robotics to Enhance Practice and Participation in Individuals With Neurological Conditions.

Pediatric physical therapy : the official publication of the Section on Pediatrics of the American Physical Therapy Association
PURPOSE: To review lower-limb technology currently available for people with neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or other conditions. We focus on 3 emerging technologies: treadmill-based training devices, exoskeletons, and oth...

[Robotic systems for gait re-education in cases of spinal cord injury: a systematic review].

Revista de neurologia
INTRODUCTION: The evidence underlying robotic body weight supported treadmill training in patients with spinal cord injury remains poorly characterized.

Pediatric robotic rehabilitation: Current knowledge and future trends in treating children with sensorimotor impairments.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robot-aided sensorimotor therapy imposes highly repetitive tasks that can translate to substantial improvement when patients remain cognitively engaged into the clinical procedure, a goal that most children find hard to pursue. Knowing th...
