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 review in gait rehabilitation devices and applied control techniques.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The aim of this review is to analyse the different existing technologies for gait rehabilitation, focusing mainly in robotic devices. Those robots help the patient to recover a lost function due to neurological gait disorders, accidents or a...

The future of the provision process for mobility assistive technology: a survey of providers.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the opinions of providers of mobility assistive technologies to help inform a research agenda and set priorities.

User-Oriented Evaluation of a Robotic Rollator That Provides Navigation Assistance in Frail Older Adults with and without Cognitive Impairment.

Gerontology
BACKGROUND: Navigational skills decline with age, and this decline is even more pronounced in cognitively impaired (CI) older adults. Navigation assistance is an emerging functionality of robotic rollators (RRs). The evidence on the effectiveness of ...

Comparing clinician descriptions of frailty and geriatric syndromes using electronic health records: a retrospective cohort study.

BMC geriatrics
BACKGROUND: Geriatric syndromes, including frailty, are common in older adults and associated with adverse outcomes. We compared patients described in clinical notes as "frail" to other older adults with respect to geriatric syndrome burden and healt...

A systematic review of study results reported for the evaluation of robotic rollators from the perspective of users.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness and perception of robotic rollators (RRs) from the perspective of users.

Exoskeleton plantarflexion assistance for elderly.

Gait & posture
Elderly are confronted with reduced physical capabilities and increased metabolic energy cost of walking. Exoskeletons that assist walking have the potential to restore walking capacity by reducing the metabolic cost of walking. However, it is unclea...

Home-Based Versus Laboratory-Based Robotic Ankle Training for Children With Cerebral Palsy: A Pilot Randomized Comparative Trial.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To examine the outcomes of home-based robot-guided therapy and compare it to laboratory-based robot-guided therapy for the treatment of impaired ankles in children with cerebral palsy.

Opinion versus practice regarding the use of rehabilitation services in home care: an investigation using machine learning algorithms.

BMC medical informatics and decision making
BACKGROUND: Resources for home care rehabilitation are limited, and many home care clients who could benefit do not receive rehabilitation therapy. The interRAI Contact Assessment (CA) is a new screening instrument comprised of a subset of interRAI H...
