Augmenting rehabilitation robotics with spinal cord neuromodulation: A proof of concept.

Science robotics
Rehabilitation robotics aims to promote activity-dependent reorganization of the nervous system. However, people with paralysis cannot generate sufficient activity during robot-assisted rehabilitation and, consequently, do not benefit from these ther...

Brain control of bimanual movement enabled by recurrent neural networks.

Scientific reports
Brain-computer interfaces have so far focused largely on enabling the control of a single effector, for example a single computer cursor or robotic arm. Restoring multi-effector motion could unlock greater functionality for people with paralysis (e.g...

Left recurrent nerve lymph node dissection in robotic esophagectomy for esophageal cancer without esophageal traction.

World journal of surgical oncology
BACKGROUND: Because the robotic arm is located on the dorsal side of the patient, when the esophagus is pulled dorsally for the left recurrent nerve lymph node (LRLN) dissection, the robotic arm interferes with the surgical field. This made it diffic...

Development of a program to determine optimal settings for robot-assisted rehabilitation of the post-stroke paretic upper extremity: a simulation study.

Scientific reports
Robot-assisted therapy can effectively treat upper extremity (UE) paralysis in patients who experience a stroke. Presently, UE, as a training item, is selected according to the severity of the paralysis based on a clinician's experience. The possibil...

Propensity-Matched Analysis of the Short-Term Outcome of Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Esophagectomy Versus Conventional Thoracoscopic Esophagectomy in Thoracic Esophageal Cancer.

World journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: In this matched-cohort study, we investigated the short-term outcome of robot-assisted minimally invasive esophagectomy (RAMIE) compared with conventional minimally invasive thoracoscopic esophagectomy (MIE) in esophageal cancer patients.

Walking Imagery Evaluation in Brain Computer Interfaces via a Multi-View Multi-Level Deep Polynomial Network.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Brain-computer interfaces based on motor imagery (MI) have been widely used to support the rehabilitation of motor functions of the upper limbs rather than lower limbs. This is probably because it is more difficult to detect the brain activities of l...

The inhibitory effect of functional lesions on eloquent brain areas: from research bench to operating bed.

The International journal of neuroscience
Functioning, but injured cerebral connections are hypothesized to inhibit cortical plasticity. Study of neural networks can validate this hypothesis, and provide further practical clues for clinical and surgical options to restore function in eloque...

Efficacy of Short-Term Robot-Assisted Rehabilitation in Patients With Hand Paralysis After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Hand (New York, N.Y.)
BACKGROUND: We evaluated the effectiveness of robot-assisted motion and activity in additional to physiotherapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) on stroke patients with hand paralysis.

[Mechanical Design and Research of Wearable Exoskeleton Assisted Robot for Upper Limb Rehabilitation].

Zhongguo yi liao qi xie za zhi = Chinese journal of medical instrumentation
Based on the biomechanical mechanism of human upper limb, the disadvantages of traditional rehabilitation training and the current status of upper limb rehabilitation robot, a six degree of freedom, flexible adjustment, wearable upper limb rehabilita...
