Walking with robot assistance: the influence of body weight support on the trunk and pelvis kinematics.
Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Feb 11, 2014
PURPOSE: The goal was to assess in healthy participants the three-dimensional kinematics of the pelvis and the trunk during robot-assisted treadmill walking (RATW) at 0%, 30% and 50% body weight support (BWS), compared with treadmill walking (TW).
Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in poststroke patients.
European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
Jan 30, 2014
BACKGROUND: Robotics and related technologies are realizing their promise to improve the delivery of rehabilitation therapy but the mechanism by which they enhance recovery is still unknown. The electromechanical-driven gait orthosis Lokomat has demo...
Preliminary Experimental Validation of a Cable-Driven Joint System for Custom Orthoses.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2024
Robot-assisted gait training has the potential to enhance gait therapy for children with mobility impairments. Robotic orthoses are designed to improve therapy session quality, but have shortcomings regarding compactness, weight, usability, and weare...
Robotically adjustable kinematics in a wrist-driven orthosis eases grasping across tasks.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2024
Without finger function, people with C5-7 spinal cord injury (SCI) regularly utilize wrist extension to passively close the fingers and thumb together for grasping. Wearable assistive grasping devices often focus on this familiar wrist-driven techniq...
A Tailorable Robotic Hand Orthosis to Support Children with Neurological Hand Impairments: a Case Study in a Child's Home.
IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Sep 1, 2023
Neurological disorders such as traumatic brain injuries (TBI) can lead to hand impairments in children, negatively impacting their quality of life. Fully wearable robotic hand orthoses (RHO) have been proposed to actively support children and promote...
Evaluating the effectiveness of an active strap for wearable robot: A Mechanical and Physiological Study.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2023
Straps are the most commonly used elements in the wearable robotic field, where it is employed as a physical human robot interface (pHRI) between the wearable robot and wearer's body. The main role of the strap is to transmit power from the robot to ...
Musculoskeletal Neural Network path generator for a virtual upper-limb active controlled orthosis.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Nov 1, 2021
In this paper, a non-parametric model of the neuromusculoskeletal system for the biceps brachii is presented. The model serves to generate angular paths for the control of a virtual active orthosis. The path generator uses a differential neural netwo...
Lessons learned from conducting a pragmatic, randomized, crossover trial on robot-assisted gait training in children with cerebral palsy (PeLoGAIT).
Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine
Jan 1, 2020
PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of outpatient robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in ambulatory children with spastic cerebral palsy.
Effects of robot-assisted gait training alongside conventional therapy on the development of walking in children with cerebral palsy.
Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine
Jan 1, 2020
PURPOSE: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) alongside conventional therapy on the standing and walking abilities of children with cerebral palsy (CP).
Design of the Clutched Variable Parallel Elastic Actuator (CVPEA) for Lower Limb Exoskeletons.
Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Jul 1, 2019
The paper presents a novel clutched variable parallel elastic actuator (CVPEA) mainly consisting of a motor and a flat spiral spring in parallel to actuate the hip of lower limb exoskeletons in sagittal plane. To minimize the power and torque require...
