Effects of end-effector robot-assisted gait training on gait ability, muscle strength, and balance in patients with spinal cord injury.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: There is no randomized controlled study about the effects of end-effector robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Usability evaluation of an interactive leg press training robot for children with neuromuscular impairments.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: The use of robotic technology for neurorehabilitative applications has become increasingly important for adults and children with different motor impairments.

Gait changes following robot-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy.

Physiological research
This study investigated changes of gait pattern induced by a 4-week robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in twelve ambulatory spastic diparesis children with cerebral palsy (CP) aged 10.4+/-3.2 years old by using computerized gait analysis (CGA). Pre-...

[Mirror-type rehabilitation training with dynamic adjustment and assistance for shoulder joint].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
The real physical image of the affected limb, which is difficult to move in the traditional mirror training, can be realized easily by the rehabilitation robots. During this training, the affected limb is often in a passive state. However, with the g...

Evaluation of admittance control as an alternative to passive arm supports to increase upper extremity function for individuals with Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Muscle & nerve
The degree of upper extremity active range of motion provided by an admittance control robot compared with a commercially available passive arm support for individuals with DMD who have limited arm function was investigated in this study. The reachab...

Short-term Effects of Robot-Resistance Exercises on Muscle Strength and Activations: Types of Muscle Contraction and Speed of Contraction.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
We developed the isokinetic exercise robot for single joint muscle training. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of contraction types (concentric vs. eccentric contractions) and contractile speeds (slow vs. fast contractions) con...

Using Machine Learning to Predict Lower-Extremity Injury in US Special Forces.

Medicine and science in sports and exercise
INTRODUCTION: Musculoskeletal injury rates in military personnel remain unacceptably high. Application of machine learning algorithms could be useful in multivariate models to predict injury in this population. The purpose of this study was to invest...

Validation of a robot serious game assessment protocol for upper limb motor impairment in children with cerebral palsy.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The ROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of fo...

Development of a robotic upper limb assessment to configure a serious game.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUNDROBiGAME project aims to implement serious games on robots to rehabilitate upper limb (UL) in stroke patients. The serious game characteristics (target position, level of assistance/resistance, level of force) are adapted based on the patie...
