An assistive control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton to facilitate recovery of walking following stroke.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper presents a control approach for a lower-limb exoskeleton intended to facilitate recovery of walking in individuals with lower-extremity hemiparesis after stroke. The authors hypothesize that such recovery is facilitated by allowing the pat...

Robot-assisted gait training improves motor performances and modifies Motor Unit firing in poststroke patients.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
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...

Ankle rehabilitation robot training for stroke patients with foot drop: Optimizing intensity and frequency.

NeuroRehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic solutions for ankle joint physical therapy have extensively been researched. The optimal frequency and intensity of training for patients when using the ankle robot is not known which can affect rehabilitation outcome.

The effect of mirror therapy can be improved by simultaneous robotic assistance.

Restorative neurology and neuroscience
BACKGROUND: Standard mirror therapy (MT) is a well-established therapy regime for severe arm paresis after acquired brain injury. Bilateral robot-assisted mirror therapy (RMT) could be a solution to provide visual and somatosensory feedback simultane...

Detection of Muscle Weakness in Medical Texts Using Natural Language Processing.

Studies in health technology and informatics
Identifying adverse events in clinical documents is demanded in retrospective clinical research and prospective monitoring of treatment safety and cost-effectiveness. We proposed and evaluated a few methods of semi-automated muscle weakness detection...

A case report on intensive, robot-assisted rehabilitation program for brainstem radionecrosis.

Medicine
INTRODUCTION: Radiotherapy is a valid treatment option for nasopharyngeal carcinoma. However, complications can occur following irradiation of the closest anatomical structures, including brainstem radionecrosis (BRN). The rehabilitation is poorly de...

Soft Robotic Bilateral Hand Rehabilitation System for Fine Motor Learning.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
This paper presents the development of a pneumatically actuated soft robotic based bilateral therapy system for hand rehabilitation in post-stroke patients. The goal is to use a healthy hand to guide the motion of the paretic hand using a sensorized ...

Immediate Effects of Force Feedback and Plantar Somatosensory Stimuli on Inter-limb Coordination During Perturbed Walking.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Single-sided motor weakness, also known as hemiparesis, is the most prevalent gait impairment among stroke survivors, which often results in gait asymmetry. Studies on robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) have shown positive effects of force feedback ...

The role of robotic gait training and tDCS in Friedrich ataxia rehabilitation: A case report.

Medicine
RATIONALE: Friedrich ataxia (FA) is the most common inherited neurodegenerative cerebellar ataxic syndrome. In patients with FA, physiotherapy is highly recommended to improve motor function outcome. Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation...
