Effects of robotic rehabilitation using the Erigo device on patients with neurological injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the effects of robotic rehabilitation with the Erigo device on patients with neurological injury on safety, spasticity, muscle strength, functionality, gait/balance, and changes in the level of consciousness.

Development and Validation of a Deep Learning Method to Predict Cerebral Palsy From Spontaneous Movements in Infants at High Risk.

JAMA network open
IMPORTANCE: Early identification of cerebral palsy (CP) is important for early intervention, yet expert-based assessments do not permit widespread use, and conventional machine learning alternatives lack validity.

A Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial of Botulinum Toxin Treatment Combined with Robot-Assisted Therapy, Mirror Therapy, or Active Control Treatment in Patients with Spasticity Following Stroke.

Toxins
Effects of the combined task-oriented trainings with botulinum toxin A (BoNT-A) injection on improving motor functions and reducing spasticity remains unclear. This study aims to investigate effects of 3 task-oriented trainings (robot-assisted therap...

The diagnostic levels of evidence of instrumented devices for measuring viscoelastic joint properties and spasticity; a systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Many diagnostic robotic devices have been developed to quantify viscoelastic properties and spasticity of patients with upper motor neuron lesions. However, in clinical practice, subjective and nonvalid clinical scales are still commonly ...

Humanoid Robot Based Platform to Evaluate the Efficacy of Using Inertial Sensors for Spasticity Assessment in Cerebral Palsy.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
Spasticity is commonly present in individuals with cerebral palsy (CP) and manifests itself as shaky movements, muscle tightness and joint stiffness. Accurate and objective measurement of spasticity is investigated using inertial measurement unit (IM...

Elucidating factors influencing machine learning algorithm prediction in spasticity assessment: a prospective observational study.

Computer methods in biomechanics and biomedical engineering
The Machine Learning Model (MLM) has garnered popularity in rehabilitation, ranging from developing algorithms in outcome prediction, prognostication, and training artificial intelligence. High-quality data plays a critical role in algorithm developm...

Use of artificial intelligence as an instrument of evaluation after stroke: a scoping review based on international classification of functioning, disability and health concept.

Topics in stroke rehabilitation
INTRODUCTION: To understand the current practices in stroke evaluation, the main clinical decision support system and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies need to be understood to assist the therapist in obtaining better insights about impairmen...

Robot-Aided Systems for Improving the Assessment of Upper Limb Spasticity: A Systematic Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Spasticity is a motor disorder that causes stiffness or tightness of the muscles and can interfere with normal movement, speech, and gait. Traditionally, the spasticity assessment is carried out by clinicians using standardized procedures for objecti...

Quantitative Modeling of Spasticity for Clinical Assessment, Treatment and Rehabilitation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Spasticity, a common symptom in patients with upper motor neuron lesions, reduces the ability of a person to freely move their limbs by generating unwanted reflexes. Spasticity can interfere with rehabilitation programs and cause pain, muscle atrophy...

Effects of Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Individuals with Spinal Cord Injury: A Meta-analysis.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on spasticity and pain in people with spinal cord injury (SCI). . Four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Medline, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) we...
