BACKGROUND: Pelvic and trunk movements are often restricted in stationary robotic gait trainers. The optional FreeD module of the driven gait orthosis Lokomat offers a combined, guided lateral translation and transverse rotation of the pelvis and may...
The correct estimation of gait events is essential for the interpretation and calculation of 3D gait analysis (3DGA) data. Depending on the severity of the underlying pathology and the availability of force plates, gait events can be set either manua...

Neurorehabilitation with robotic devices requires a paradigm shift to enhance human-robot interaction. The coupling of robot assisted gait training (RAGT) with a brain-machine interface (BMI) represents an important step in this direction but require...
Cerebral palsy is a neurologic disorder caused by lesions on an immature brain, often resulting in spasticity and gait abnormality. This study aimed to compare the muscle activation patterns of real level and stair walking with those of simulated wal...
Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) is an effective adjunctive treatment for patients with stroke that helps to regain functional mobility and is applied in many rehabilitation units for poststroke neurorecovery. We discuss our successful attempt to ...
Lower limb exoskeleton robots have shown significant research value due to their capabilities of providing assistance to wearers and improving physical motion functions. As a type of robotic technology, wearable robots are directly in contact with th...
In a society centered on hyper-connectivity, information sharing is crucial, but it must be ensured that each piece of information is viewed only by legitimate users; for this purpose, the medium that connects information and users must be able to id...
