Integrated Lower Limb Robotic Orthosis with Embedded Highly Oriented Electrospinning Sensors by Fuzzy Logic-Based Gait Phase Detection and Motion Control.
Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Mar 5, 2025
This study introduces an integrated lower limb robotic orthosis with near-field electrospinning (NFES) piezoelectric sensors and a fuzzy logic-based gait phase detection system to enhance mobility assistance and rehabilitation. The exoskeleton incorp...
Feasibility of Adjunct Therapy with a Robotic Hand Orthosis after Botulinum Toxin Injections in Persons with Spasticity: A Pilot Study.
Toxins
Aug 8, 2024
Upper-limb spasticity, frequent after central nervous system lesions, is typically treated with botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT-A) injections to reduce muscle tone and increase range of motion. However, performing adjunct physical therapy post-BoNT...
Clinician perceptions of a novel wearable robotic hand orthosis for post-stroke hemiparesis.
Disability and rehabilitation
Jul 8, 2024
PURPOSE: Wearable robotic devices are currently being developed to improve upper limb function for individuals with hemiparesis after stroke. Incorporating the views of clinicians during the development of new technologies can help ensure that end pr...
Mixed methods usability evaluation of an assistive wearable robotic hand orthosis for people with spinal cord injury.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Dec 1, 2023
BACKGROUND: Robotic hand orthoses (RHO) aim to provide grasp assistance for people with sensorimotor hand impairment during daily tasks. Many of such devices have been shown to bring a functional benefit to the user. However, assessing functional ben...
A hybrid orthosis combining functional electrical stimulation and soft robotics for improved assistance of drop-foot.
Medical engineering & physics
Apr 11, 2023
Drop-foot is characterised by an inability to lift the foot, and affects an estimated 3 million people worldwide. Current treatment methods include rigid splints, electromechanical systems, and functional electrical stimulation (FES). However, these ...
Settings matter: a scoping review on parameters in robot-assisted gait therapy identifies the importance of reporting standards.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Apr 22, 2022
BACKGROUND: Lokomat therapy for gait rehabilitation has become increasingly popular. Most evidence suggests that Lokomat therapy is equally effective as but not superior to standard therapy approaches. One reason might be that the Lokomat parameters ...
Neglected physical human-robot interaction may explain variable outcomes in gait neurorehabilitation research.
Science robotics
Sep 22, 2021
During gait neurorehabilitation, many factors influence the quality of gait patterns, particularly the chosen body-weight support (BWS) device. Consequently, robotic BWS devices play a key role in gait rehabilitation of people with neurological disor...
Robot-mediated overground gait training for transfemoral amputees with a powered bilateral hip orthosis: a pilot study.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
Jul 3, 2021
BACKGROUND: Transfemoral amputation is a serious intervention that alters the locomotion pattern, leading to secondary disorders and reduced quality of life. The outcomes of current gait rehabilitation for TFAs seem to be highly dependent on factors ...
Exploring the Use of Brain-Computer Interfaces in Stroke Neurorehabilitation.
BioMed research international
Jun 18, 2021
With the continuous development of artificial intelligence technology, "brain-computer interfaces" are gradually entering the field of medical rehabilitation. As a result, brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) have been included in many countries' strateg...
Low cost exoskeleton manipulator using bidirectional triboelectric sensors enhanced multiple degree of freedom sensory system.
Nature communications
May 11, 2021
Rapid developments of robotics and virtual reality technology are raising the requirements of more advanced human-machine interfaces for achieving efficient parallel control. Exoskeleton as an assistive wearable device, usually requires a huge cost a...
