Effects of robot-assisted gait training on postural instability in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: Postural instability is a cardinal feature of Parkinson's disease, together with rest tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. It is a highly disabling symptom that becomes increasingly common with disease progression and represents a major s...

An artificial neural network approach to detect presence and severity of Parkinson's disease via gait parameters.

PloS one
INTRODUCTION: Gait deficits are debilitating in people with Parkinson's disease (PwPD), which inevitably deteriorate over time. Gait analysis is a valuable method to assess disease-specific gait patterns and their relationship with the clinical featu...

Effect of assist-as-needed robotic gait training on the gait pattern post stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Regaining gait capacity is an important rehabilitation goal post stroke. Compared to clinically available robotic gait trainers, robots with an assist-as-needed approach and multiple degrees of freedom (AAN) are expected to support motor ...

What is the impact of robotic rehabilitation on balance and gait outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis? A systematic review of randomized control trials.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: In recent years, robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has been proposed as therapy for balance and gait dysfunctions in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). Through this systematic review, we aimed to discuss the impact of RAGT on bala...

The effects of virtual reality augmented robot-assisted gait training on dual-task performance and functional measures in chronic stroke: a randomized controlled single-blind trial.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Many studies have demonstrated positive effects of virtual reality (VR) and robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on balance, gait skills, functional capacity, active participation, and motivation in stroke patients, previously. However, th...

Effects of wearable ankle robotics for stair and over-ground training on sub-acute stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Wearable ankle robotics could potentially facilitate intensive repetitive task-specific gait training on stair environment for stroke rehabilitation. A lightweight (0.5 kg) and portable exoskeleton ankle robot was designed to facilitate o...

AI Therapist Realizing Expert Verbal Cues for Effective Robot-Assisted Gait Training.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Repetitive and specific verbal cues by a therapist are essential in aiding a patient's motivation and improving the motor learning process. The verbal cues comprise various expressions, sentences, volumes, and timings, depending on the therapist's pr...

Effect of combined home-based, overground robotic-assisted gait training and usual physiotherapy on clinical functional outcomes in people with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled trial.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of a home-based over-ground robotic-assisted gait training program using the AlterG Bionic Leg orthosis on clinical functional outcomes in people with chronic stroke.

Artificial Intelligence-Assisted motion capture for medical applications: a comparative study between markerless and passive marker motion capture.

Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
We aimed to determine whether artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted markerless motion capture software is useful in the clinical medicine and rehabilitation fields. Currently, it is unclear whether the AI-assisted markerless method can be applied to ...

Effects of Robotic Exoskeleton-Aided Gait Training in the Strength, Body Balance, and Walking Speed in Individuals With Multiple Sclerosis: A Single-Group Preliminary Study.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To assess effects of 15 exoskeleton-assisted gait training sessions, reflected by the muscle strength of the lower limbs and by walking speed immediately after the training sessions and at the 6-week follow-up.
