The effects of auditory and visual cues on timing synchronicity for robotic rehabilitation.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we explore how the integration of auditory and visual cues can help teach the timing of motor skills for the purpose of motor function rehabilitation. We conducted a study using Amazon's Mechanical Turk in which 106 participants played...

Randomized, sham-controlled trial based on transcranial direct current stimulation and wrist robot-assisted integrated treatment on subacute stroke patients: Intermediate results.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The main goal of this study is to analyse the effects of combined transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and wrist robot-assisted therapy in subacute stroke patients. Twenty-four patients were included in this study and randomly assigned to t...

MIT-Skywalker: Evaluating comfort of bicycle/saddle seat.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The MIT-Skywalker is a robotic device developed for the rehabilitation of gait and balance after a neurological injury. This device has been designed based on the concept of a passive walker and provides three distinct training modes: discrete moveme...

Clinical effectiveness of combined virtual reality and robot assisted fine hand motion rehabilitation in subacute stroke patients.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Robot-assisted therapy is regarded as an effective and reliable method for the delivery of highly repetitive rehabilitation training in restoring motor skills after a stroke. This study focuses on the rehabilitation of fine hand motion skills due to ...

Gait assessment system based on novel gait variability measures.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, a novel gait assessment system based on measures of gait variability reflected through the variability of shapes of gait cycles trajectories is proposed. The presented gait assessment system is based on SVM (support vector machine) cla...

Comparison of kinematic and EMG parameters between unassisted, fixed- and adaptive-stiffness robotic-assisted ankle movements in post-stroke subjects.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
In this paper, we present an assist-as-needed scheme that effectively adapted the assistance provided by an ankle rehabilitation robot according to patient's participation and performance during therapeutic movements. We performed an error-based esti...

Lokomat therapy in Colombia: Current state and cognitive aspects.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Neurological disorders frequently affect walking function which is one of the most fundamental skills to improve quality of life and autonomy, and Lokomat has been a key piece for gait's rehabilitation. In this study, a diagnosis about the developmen...

Motor adaptation to lateral pelvis assistance force during treadmill walking in individuals post-stroke.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The goal of this study was to determine how individuals post-stroke response to the lateral assistance force applied to the pelvis during treadmill walking. Ten individuals post chronic (> 6 months) stroke were recruited to participate in this study....

The effect of haptic interaction between balance assessment robot and pelvis on muscle activation of leg muscles.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Admittance control is considered as a promising paradigm in rehabilitation that provides us with means to establish well controlled and adjustable interaction and cooperation between rehabilitation devices and patients. Recently we developed balance ...

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...
