A Semi-passive Planar Manipulandum for Upper-Extremity Rehabilitation.

Annals of biomedical engineering
Robotic rehabilitation is a promising approach to treat individuals with neurological or orthopedic disorders. However, despite significant advancements in the field of rehabilitation robotics, this technology has found limited traction in clinical p...

A Review of Robotics in Neurorehabilitation: Towards an Automated Process for Upper Limb.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Robot-mediated neurorehabilitation is a growing field that seeks to incorporate advances in robotics combined with neuroscience and rehabilitation to define new methods for treating problems related with neurological diseases. In this paper, a system...

Towards Optimal Platform-Based Robot Design for Ankle Rehabilitation: The State of the Art and Future Prospects.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This review aims to compare existing robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techniques in terms of robot design. Included studies mainly consist of selected papers in two published reviews involving a variety of robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techn...

Jobelyn attenuates inflammatory responses and neurobehavioural deficits associated with complete Freund-adjuvant-induced arthritis in mice.

Biomedicine & pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & pharmacotherapie
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the physical and psychosocial wellbeing of the patients and a major cause of work disability. Current drugs for its treatment only provide palliative effect, as cure for the dis...

Robot-assisted assessment of muscle strength.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Impairment of neuromuscular function in neurological disorders leads to reductions in muscle force, which may lower quality of life. Rehabilitation robots that are equipped with sensors are able to quantify the extent of muscle force impairment and t...

Machine Learning and Neurosurgical Outcome Prediction: A Systematic Review.

World neurosurgery
OBJECTIVE: Accurate measurement of surgical outcomes is highly desirable to optimize surgical decision-making. An important element of surgical decision making is identification of the patient cohort that will benefit from surgery before the interven...

MIT-Skywalker: considerations on the Design of a Body Weight Support System.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: To provide body weight support during walking and balance training, one can employ two distinct embodiments: support through a harness hanging from an overhead system or support through a saddle/seat type. This paper presents a comparison...

Robot-supported assessment of balance in standing and walking.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Clinically useful and efficient assessment of balance during standing and walking is especially challenging in patients with neurological disorders. However, rehabilitation robots could facilitate assessment procedures and improve their clinical valu...

Automatic Assessment of a Rollator-User's Condition During Rehabilitation Using the i-Walker Platform.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Patient condition during rehabilitation has been traditionally assessed using clinical scales. These scales typically require the patient and/or the clinician to rate a number of condition-related items to obtain a final score. This is a time-consumi...

Predictive control of intersegmental tarsal movements in an insect.

Journal of computational neuroscience
In many animals intersegmental reflexes are important for postural and movement control but are still poorly undesrtood. Mathematical methods can be used to model the responses to stimulation, and thus go beyond a simple description of responses to s...
