Ischemic stroke-induced polyaxonal innervation at the neuromuscular junction is attenuated by robot-assisted mechanical therapy.

Experimental neurology
Ischemic stroke is a leading cause of disability world-wide. Mounting evidence supports neuromuscular pathology following stroke, yet mechanisms of dysfunction and therapeutic action remain undefined. The objectives of our study were to investigate n...

Robot controlled, continuous passive movement of the ankle reduces spinal cord excitability in participants with spasticity: a pilot study.

Experimental brain research
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...

Robot-guided ankle sensorimotor rehabilitation of patients with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
BACKGROUND: People with multiple sclerosis (MS) often develop symptoms including muscle weakness, spasticity, imbalance, and sensory loss in the lower limbs, especially at the ankle, which result in impaired balance and locomotion and increased risk ...

Zhongguo gu shang = China journal of orthopaedics and traumatology
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the stability of teaching robot of rotation-traction manipulation.

A cable-driven wrist robotic rehabilitator using a novel torque-field controller for human motion training.

The Review of scientific instruments
Rehabilitation technologies have great potentials in assisted motion training for stroke patients. Considering that wrist motion plays an important role in arm dexterous manipulation of activities of daily living, this paper focuses on developing a c...
