The features of Gait Exercise Assist Robot: Precise assist control and enriched feedback.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In a patient with severe hemiplegia, the risk of the knee giving way is high during the early stage of gait exercise with an ankle-foot orthosis. However, use of a knee-ankle-foot orthosis has many problems such as large amount of assista...

Intensive seated robotic training of the ankle in patients with chronic stroke differentially improves gait.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic driven treatment plans targeting isolated joints of the upper limb have improved the sensorimotor condition of patients with stroke. Similar intensive efforts to allay lower limb gait impairment have not been so successful. In pat...

Combined transcranial direct current stimulation and robotic upper limb therapy improves upper limb function in an adult with cerebral palsy.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic therapy can improve upper limb function in hemiparesis. Excitatory transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can prime brain motor circuits before therapy.

Experiments and kinematics analysis of a hand rehabilitation exoskeleton with circuitous joints.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Aiming at the hand rehabilitation of stroke patients, a wearable hand exoskeleton with circuitous joint is proposed. The circuitous joint adopts the symmetric pinion and rack mechanism (SPRM) with the parallel mechanism. The exoskeleton finger is a s...

Robot-assisted humanized passive rehabilitation training based on online assessment and regulation.

Bio-medical materials and engineering
Robot-assisted rehabilitation has been developed and proved effective for motion function recovery. Humanization is one of the crucial issues in the designing of robot-based rehabilitation system. However, most of the previous investigations focus on...
