Direction-dependent differences in the quality and quantity of horizontal reaching in people after stroke.

Journal of neurophysiology
Arm reaching is often impaired in individuals with stroke. Nonetheless, how aiming directions influence reaching performance and how such differences change with motor recovery over time remain unclear. Here, we elucidated kinematic parameters of rea...

Prototype development of bilateral arm mirror-like-robotic rehabilitation device for acute stroke patients.

Biomedical physics & engineering express
During the early six months after the onset of a stroke, patients usually remain disabled with limbs weakness and need intensive rehabilitation. An increased number of stroke patients is countered with a reduced number of physical therapists. The dev...

Performance-Based Robotic Training in Individuals with Subacute Stroke: Differences between Responders and Non-Responders.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The high variability of upper limb motor recovery with robotic training (RT) in subacute stroke underscores the need to explore differences in responses to RT. We explored differences in baseline characteristics and the RT dose between responders (ΔF...

Treatment of the Paretic Hand with a Robotic Glove Combined with Physiotherapy in a Patient Suffering from Traumatic Tetraparesis: A Case Report.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
BACKGROUND: cervical spinal cord injury leads to loss of upper limb functionality, which causes a decrease in autonomy to perform activities of daily living. The use of robotic technologies in rehabilitation could contribute to improving upper limb f...

Reducing the energy cost of walking with low assistance levels through optimized hip flexion assistance from a soft exosuit.

Scientific reports
As we age, humans see natural decreases in muscle force and power which leads to a slower, less efficient gait. Improving mobility for both healthy individuals and those with muscle impairments/weakness has been a goal for exoskeleton designers for d...

Impact of the robotic-assistance level on upper extremity function in stroke patients receiving adjunct robotic rehabilitation: sub-analysis of a randomized clinical trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic therapy has been demonstrated to be effective in treating upper extremity (UE) paresis in stroke survivors. However, it remains unclear whether the level of assistance provided by robotics in UE training could affect the improveme...

Effect of combined home-based, overground robotic-assisted gait training and usual physiotherapy on clinical functional outcomes in people with chronic stroke: A randomized controlled trial.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVES: To assess the effect of a home-based over-ground robotic-assisted gait training program using the AlterG Bionic Leg orthosis on clinical functional outcomes in people with chronic stroke.

Robot-assisted Gait Training Using Welwalk in Hemiparetic Stroke Patients: An Effectiveness Study with Matched Control.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
OBJECTIVE: Although studies on the efficacy of the rehabilitation robot are increasing, there are few reports using the robot for gait training in the actual clinical setting. This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of gait training using W...

Novel lateral transfer assist robot decreases the difficulty of transfer in post-stroke hemiparesis patients: a pilot study.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to clarify whether the novel lateral transfer assist robot facilitates easier transfers compared with a wheelchair in post-stroke hemiparesis patients.

Robotic assessment of rapid motor decision making in children with perinatal stroke.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Activities of daily living frequently require children to make rapid decisions and execute desired motor actions while inhibiting unwanted actions. Children with hemiparetic cerebral palsy due to perinatal stroke may have deficits in exec...
