Robot-Assisted Training as Self-Training for Upper-Limb Hemiplegia in Chronic Stroke: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Stroke
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to examine whether robotic self-training improved upper-extremity function versus conventional self-training in mild-to-moderate hemiplegic chronic stroke patients.

Development of a Prototype Overground Pelvic Obliquity Support Robot for Rehabilitation of Hemiplegia Gait.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
In this work, we present the overground prototype gait-rehabilitation robot for using motion assistance and training for paralyzed patients. In contrast to the existing gait-rehabilitation robots, which focus on the sagittal plane motion of the hip a...

Effects of the Robot-Assisted Gait Training Device Plus Physiotherapy in Improving Ambulatory Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke With Hemiplegia: An Assessor-Blinded, Randomized Controlled Trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of the robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) device plus physiotherapy vs physiotherapy alone in improving ambulatory functions in patients with subacute stroke with hemiplegia.

Myoelectric analysis of upper-extremity muscles during robot-assisted bilateral wrist flexion-extension in subjects with poststroke hemiplegia.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
BACKGROUND: Muscle co-contraction during the execution of motor tasks or training is common in poststroke subjects. EMG-derived muscular activation indexes have been used to evaluate muscle co-contractions during movements. In addition, robot-assiste...

Three-dimensional modelling of wheelchair contrived with lower limb exoskeleton for right hemiplegic dysfunction.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Hemiplegia is a type of paralysis that affects one side of the body due to stroke, characterizing severe weakness or rigid movement. Many people of different age groups are affected by this condition which cannot be completely cured but can be minimi...

The effect of using Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) on gait pattern in stroke patients: a cross-sectional pilot study.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
: The Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) has been developed to support gait training for stroke patients. The GEAR can assist paretic lower limb swing and stance stability, which make it possible to practice walking without excessive compensation move...

New Motion Intention Acquisition Method of Lower Limb Rehabilitation Robot Based on Static Torque Sensors.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The rehabilitation robot is an application of robotic technology for people with limb disabilities. This paper investigates a new applicable and effective sitting/lying lower limb rehabilitation robot (the LLR-Ro). In order to improve the patient's t...

Randomized Controlled Trial of Gait Training Using Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) in Stroke Patients with Hemiplegia.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
PURPOSE: This trial aimed to validate the effectiveness of using the Gait Exercise Assist Robot (GEAR) in patients with hemiplegia after primary stroke.

A robust machine learning enabled decomposition of shear ground reaction forces during the double contact phase of walking.

Gait & posture
BACKGROUND: Dynamic analyses of walking rely on the 3D ground reaction forces (GRF) under each foot, while only the resultant force of both limbs may be recorded on a single-belt instrumented treadmill or when both feet touch the same force platform.

Artificial Neural Network Learns Clinical Assessment of Spasticity in Modified Ashworth Scale.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision-making rule in modified Ashworth scale (MAS) that draws maximum agreement from multiple human raters and to analyze how various biomechanical parameters affect scores in MAS.
