Robotic Rehabilitation in Spinal Cord Injury: A Pilot Study on End-Effectors and Neurophysiological Outcomes.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Robot-aided gait training (RAGT) has been implemented to provide patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) with a physiological limb activation during gait, cognitive engagement, and an appropriate stimulation of peripheral receptors, which are essentia...

Kinematic Calibration of a Parallel 2-UPS/RRR Ankle Rehabilitation Robot.

Journal of healthcare engineering
In order to better perform rehabilitation training on the ankle joint complex in the direction of dorsiflexion/plantarflexion and inversion/eversion, especially when performing the isokinetic muscle strength exercise, we need to calibrate the kinemat...

Deep learning prediction of falls among nursing home residents with Alzheimer's disease.

Geriatrics & gerontology international
AIM: This study aimed to use a convolutional neural network (CNN) to investigate the associations between the time of falling and multiple complicating factors, including age, dementia severity, lower extremity strength and physical function, among n...

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...

The impact of different training load quantification and modelling methodologies on performance predictions in elite swimmers.

European journal of sport science
The use of rolling averages to analyse training data has been debated recently. We evaluated two training load quantification methods (five-zone, seven-zone) fitted to performances over two race distances (50 and 100 m) using four separate longitudin...

Muscle endurance time estimation during isometric training using electromyogram and supervised learning.

Journal of electromyography and kinesiology : official journal of the International Society of Electrophysiological Kinesiology
UNLABELLED: Constant-force isometric muscle training is useful for increasing the maximal strength , rehabilitation and work-fatigue assessment. Earlier studies have shown that muscle fatigue characteristics can be used for evaluating muscle enduranc...

A robotic neck brace to characterize head-neck motion and muscle electromyography in subjects with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Annals of clinical and translational neurology
OBJECTIVE: This paper presents the first study where a dynamic neck brace was used to characterize the head motion of ALS patients while concurrently recording the surface electromyography (EMG) of the neck muscles.

Design and Feasibility Study of a Leg-exoskeleton Assistive Wheelchair Robot with Tests on Gluteus Medius Muscles.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The muscles of the lower limbs directly influence leg motion, therefore, lower limb muscle exercise is important for persons living with lower limb disabilities. This paper presents a medical assistive robot with leg exoskeletons for locomotion and l...
