Robotics for Lower Limb Rehabilitation.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
Improving walking function is a desirable outcome in rehabilitation and of high importance for social and vocational reintegration for persons with neurologic-related gait impairment. Robots for lower limb gait rehabilitation are designed principally...

Robot-assisted Therapy for the Upper Limb after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

Physical medicine and rehabilitation clinics of North America
Tetraplegia resulting from cervical injury is the most frequent neurologic category after spinal cord injury and causes substantial disability. The residual strength of partially paralyzed muscles is an important determinant of independence and funct...

Distributed Repetitive Learning Control for Cooperative Cadence Tracking in Functional Electrical Stimulation Cycling.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
Closed-loop control of functional electrical stimulation coupled with motorized assistance to induce cycling is a rehabilitative strategy that can improve the mobility of people with neurological conditions (NCs). However, robust control methods, whi...

Effectiveness of robotics in improving upper extremity functions among people with neurological dysfunction: a systematic review.

The International journal of neuroscience
PURPOSE: The primary focus of this review was to find out the effectiveness of robotics in improving upper extremity functions among people with neurological problems in the arena of physical rehabilitation.

Trends in robot-assisted and virtual reality-assisted neuromuscular therapy: a systematic review of health-related multiplayer games.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Multiplayer games have emerged as a promising approach to increase the motivation of patients involved in rehabilitation therapy. In this systematic review, we evaluated recent publications in health-related multiplayer games that involve...

A robot-based gait training therapy for pediatric population with cerebral palsy: goal setting, proposal and preliminary clinical implementation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The use of robotic trainers has increased with the aim of improving gait function in patients with limitations. Nevertheless, there is an absence of studies that deeply describe detailed guidelines of how to correctly implement robot-base...

Robot-assisted training using Hybrid Assistive Limb® for cerebral palsy.

Brain & development
PURPOSE: The Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL®, CYBERDYNE) is a wearable robot that provides assistance to a patient while they are walking, standing, and performing leg movements based on the wearer's intended movement. The effect of robot-assisted train...

A Portable Passive Rehabilitation Robot for Upper-Extremity Functional Resistance Training.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: Loss of arm function is common in individuals with neurological damage, such as stroke or cerebral palsy. Robotic devices that address muscle strength deficits in a task-specific manner can assist in the recovery of arm function; however, ...
