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...

The effects of robot assisted gait training on temporal-spatial characteristics of people with spinal cord injuries: A systematic review.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: Robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) technology can be used as a rehabilitation tool or as an assistive device for spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals. Its impact on upright stepping characteristics of SCI individuals using treadmill or o...

fNIRS-based Neurorobotic Interface for gait rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: In this paper, a novel functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)-based brain-computer interface (BCI) framework for control of prosthetic legs and rehabilitation of patients suffering from locomotive disorders is presented.

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...

Treadmill vs. overground walking: different response to physical interaction.

Journal of neurophysiology
Rehabilitation of human motor function is an issue of growing significance, and human-interactive robots offer promising potential to meet the need. For the lower extremity, however, robot-aided therapy has proven challenging. To inform effective app...

Biomechanical Reactions of Exoskeleton Neurorehabilitation Robots in Spastic Elbows and Wrists.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Spasticity is an important factor in designing wearable and lightweight exoskeleton neurorehabilitation robots. The proposed study evaluates biomechanical reactions of an exoskeleton robot to spasticity and establishes relevant guidelines for robot d...

The Hybrid Assistive Limb® intervention for a postoperative patient with spinal dural arteriovenous fistula and chronic spinal cord injury: A case study.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: The purpose of this report was to describe the improvement in walking ability using the Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL®) intervention in the case of a patient with paraplegia after spinal cord injury whose condition deteriorated because of a sp...

Neuromechanical adaptations during a robotic powered exoskeleton assisted walking session.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate gait parameters and neuromuscular profiles of exoskeleton-assisted walking under Max Assist condition during a single-session for; (i) able bodied (AB) individuals walking assisted with (EXO) and without (non-EXO) a powered exo...
