Electromechanical-assisted training for walking after stroke.

The Cochrane database of systematic reviews
RATIONALE: Walking difficulties are common after a stroke. During rehabilitation, electromechanical and robotic gait-training devices can help improve walking. As the evidence and certainty of the evidence may have changed since our last update in 20...

The use of robotic upper limb therapy in routine clinical practice for stroke survivors: Insights from Australian therapists.

Australian occupational therapy journal
INTRODUCTION: There is a limited understanding of therapist acceptance and use of robot-assisted upper limb therapy (RT-ULT) in routine practice. The aim of this study was to explore the factors that influence Australian therapist acceptance and use ...

A Soft Robotic Sleeve for Physiotherapy: Improving Elbow Rehabilitation in Baseball Pitchers.

Physiotherapy research international : the journal for researchers and clinicians in physical therapy
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Throwing a baseball involves intense exposure of the arm to high speeds and powerful forces, which contributes to an increasing prevalence of arm injuries among athletes. Traditional rigid exoskeletons and rehabilitation equip...

Effects of robot-assisted walking training on balance, motor function, and ADL depending on severity levels in stroke patients.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Despite the explosive increase in interest regarding Robot-Assisted Walking Training (RAWT) for stroke patients, very few studies have divided groups according to the severity levels of patients and conducted studies on the effects of RAW...

Multi-Objective Optimization-Based Assist-as-Needed Controller for Improved Quality of Assistance in Rehabilitation Robotics.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Assist-as-needed (AAN) is a paradigm in rehabilitation robotics based on the fact that more active participation from human users promotes faster recovery of motor functions. Moreover, the patients and public engaged and involved in our research desi...

Assessing Human-Human Kinematics for the Implementation of Robot-Assisted Physical Therapy in Humanoids: A Pilot Study.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
The development of humanoids with bimanual manipulator arms may facilitate assistive robots to perform physical therapy with older adults living at home. As we assume the human-human interaction to be the gold standard of physical therapy, we propose...

Adaptive Learning based Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Training System with Collaborative Robot.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Rehabilitation training for patients with motor disabilities usually requires specialized devices in rehabilitation centers. Home-based multi-purpose training would significantly increase treatment accessibility and reduce medical costs. While it is ...

Efficacy and Dose of Rehabilitation Approaches for Severe Upper Limb Impairments and Disability During Early Acute and Subacute Stroke: A Systematic Review.

Physical therapy
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the evidence of the efficacy of rehabilitation approaches for improving severe upper limb impairments and disability during acute and early subacute stroke, taking into consideration the dosage of t...

[Research progress on mechanical perturbation in stroke rehabilitation].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Sensorimotor disorder can be easily caused by stroke, and there are many targeted movement rehabilitation therapies. With the development of rehabilitation robot technology, robot-assisted therapy combined with mechanical perturbations has become a m...
