Identifying Neuroimaging Markers of Motor Disability in Acute Stroke by Machine Learning Techniques.

Cerebral cortex (New York, N.Y. : 1991)
Conventional mass-univariate analyses have been previously used to test for group differences in neural signals. However, machine learning algorithms represent a multivariate decoding approach that may help to identify neuroimaging patterns associate...

Real-time prediction of disordered breathing events in people with obstructive sleep apnea.

Sleep & breathing = Schlaf & Atmung
PURPOSE: Conventional therapies for obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are effective but suffer from poor patient adherence and may not fully alleviate major OSA-associated cardiovascular risk factors or improve certain aspects of quality of life. Predict...

The first step in using a robot in brain injury rehabilitation: patients' and health-care professionals' perspective.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the usability of a mobile telepresence robot (MTR) in a hospital training apartment (HTA). The MTR was manoeuvred remotely and was used for communication when assessing independent living skills, and for security monitoring of co...

A Randomized Controlled Trial of EEG-Based Motor Imagery Brain-Computer Interface Robotic Rehabilitation for Stroke.

Clinical EEG and neuroscience
Electroencephalography (EEG)-based motor imagery (MI) brain-computer interface (BCI) technology has the potential to restore motor function by inducing activity-dependent brain plasticity. The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of ...

Work-rate-guided exercise testing in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury using a robotics-assisted tilt-table.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Robotics-assisted tilt-table (RTT) technology allows neurological rehabilitation therapy to be started early thus alleviating some secondary complications of prolonged bed rest. This study assessed the feasibility of a novel work-rate-guided...

Recovery of walking ability using a robotic device in subacute stroke patients: a randomized controlled study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: This study investigates the effectiveness of Lokomat + conventional therapy in recovering walking ability in non-ambulatory subacute stroke subjects involved in inpatient rehabilitation.

Outcome of transoral robotic surgery for stage I-II oropharyngeal cancer.

European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery
Traditionally T1-2N0 oropharyngeal carcinoma is treated with a single treatment modality, being either radiotherapy or surgery. Currently, minimally invasive surgery, such as transoral robotic surgery (TORS), is gaining popularity. The aim of this st...

Walking with robot assistance: the influence of body weight support on the trunk and pelvis kinematics.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The goal was to assess in healthy participants the three-dimensional kinematics of the pelvis and the trunk during robot-assisted treadmill walking (RATW) at 0%, 30% and 50% body weight support (BWS), compared with treadmill walking (TW).

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in poststroke patients.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demo...
