Reliability, validity and discriminant ability of a robotic device for finger training in patients with subacute stroke.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jan 3, 2020
BACKGROUND: The majority of stroke survivors experiences significant hand impairments, as weakness and spasticity, with a severe impact on the activity of daily living. To objectively evaluate hand deficits, quantitative measures are needed. The aim ...
Highest ambulatory speed using Lokomat gait training for individuals with a motor-complete spinal cord injury: a clinical pilot study.
Acta neurochirurgica
Dec 24, 2019
BACKGROUND: Motor impairment and loss of ambulatory function are major consequences of a spinal cord injury (SCI). Exoskeletons are robotic devices that allow SCI patients with limited ambulatory function to walk. The mean walking speed of SCI patien...
Robot controlled, continuous passive movement of the ankle reduces spinal cord excitability in participants with spasticity: a pilot study.
Experimental brain research
Oct 10, 2019
Spasticity of the ankle reduces quality of life by impeding walking and other activities of daily living. Robot-driven continuous passive movement (CPM) is a strategy for lower limb spasticity management but effects on spasticity, walking ability and...
Isokinetic Robotic Device to Improve Test-Retest and Inter-Rater Reliability for Stretch Reflex Measurements in Stroke Patients with Spasticity.
Journal of visualized experiments : JoVE
Jun 12, 2019
Measuring spasticity is important in treatment planning and determining efficacy after treatment. However, the current tool used in clinical settings has been shown to be limited in inter-rater reliability. One factor in this poor inter-rater reliabi...
Artificial Neural Network Learns Clinical Assessment of Spasticity in Modified Ashworth Scale.
Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
Apr 19, 2019
OBJECTIVE: To propose an artificial intelligence (AI)-based decision-making rule in modified Ashworth scale (MAS) that draws maximum agreement from multiple human raters and to analyze how various biomechanical parameters affect scores in MAS.
Computational modeling of neuromuscular response to swing-phase robotic knee extension assistance in cerebral palsy.
Journal of biomechanics
Mar 7, 2019
Predicting subject-specific responses to exoskeleton assistance may aid in maximizing functional gait outcomes, such as achieving full knee-extension at foot contact in individuals with crouch gait from cerebral palsy (CP). The purpose of this study ...
Effectiveness of robo-assisted lower limb rehabilitation for spastic patients: A systematic review.
Biosensors & bioelectronics
Jun 29, 2018
BACKGROUND: Though many rehabilitative treatments are available for treatment of spasticity, thus the effectiveness of different robo-rehabilitative devices needs to be evaluated through a systematic review.
Effects of robot-assisted gait training in chronic stroke patients treated by botulinum toxin-a: A pivotal study.
Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy
May 28, 2018
OBJECTIVE: To investigate combined effects of robot-assisted training (RAT) and physical therapy versus physical therapy only on balance and gait function of chronic stroke patients after botulinum toxin-A (BoNT-A) treatment.
Is two better than one? Muscle vibration plus robotic rehabilitation to improve upper limb spasticity and function: A pilot randomized controlled trial.
PloS one
Oct 3, 2017
Even though robotic rehabilitation is very useful to improve motor function, there is no conclusive evidence on its role in reducing post-stroke spasticity. Focal muscle vibration (MV) is instead very useful to reduce segmental spasticity, with a con...
Hand Passive Mobilization Performed with Robotic Assistance: Acute Effects on Upper Limb Perfusion and Spasticity in Stroke Survivors.
BioMed research international
Sep 28, 2017
This single arm pre-post study aimed at evaluating the acute effects induced by a single session of robot-assisted passive hand mobilization on local perfusion and upper limb (UL) function in poststroke hemiparetic participants. Twenty-three patients...
