Comparative Effects of Different Assistance Force During Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Locomotor Functions in Patients With Subacute Stroke: An Assessor-Blind, Randomized Controlled Trial.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to compare the effects of progressive reducing assistance force versus full assistance force controlled robot-assisted gait training combined with conventional physiotherapy on locomotor functions in patients with ...

The economic cost of robotic rehabilitation for adult stroke patients: a systematic review protocol.

JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports
The objective of this review is to identify the best available evidence on the economic cost of robotic rehabilitation for adult stroke patients to improve their motor movement abilities. More specifically, the objective is to identify the evidence o...

Effects of newly developed compact robot-aided upper extremity training system (Neuro-X®) in patients with stroke: A pilot study.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: Robot-assisted rehabilitation therapy of the upper extremity after stroke has been studied widely; however, robotic devices remain expensive and bulky. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of a newly developed, compact upper e...

Reference Trajectory Adaptation to Improve Human-Robot Interaction: A Database-Driven Approach.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Many robotic devices that are used for therapy or as assistive devices rely on pre-defined reference trajectories to assist the user's movements. Fixed pre-defined trajectories force the user to adapt to unnatural movement patterns which may be detri...

[Study on the center-driven multiple degrees of freedom upper limb rehabilitation training robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
With the aging of the society, the number of stroke patients has been increasing year by year. Compared with the traditional rehabilitation therapy, the application of upper limb rehabilitation robot has higher efficiency and better rehabilitation ef...

Development of a Computer-Aided Dosage and Telemonitoring System for Patients Under Oral Anticoagulation Therapy.

Studies in health technology and informatics
In this paper, we present a system that allows patients who require anticoagulation medicine an opportunity to independently manage their dosage concentration with the help of two machine learning algorithms. The basic idea is to predict the next dos...

Automated Error Detection in Physiotherapy Training.

Studies in health technology and informatics
BACKGROUND: Manual skills teaching, such as physiotherapy education, requires immediate teacher feedback for the students during the learning process, which to date can only be performed by expert trainers.

Preliminary research of a novel center-driven robot for upper extremity rehabilitation.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Loss of upper limb function often appears after stroke. Robot-assisted systems are becoming increasingly common in upper extremity rehabilitation. Rehabilitation robot provides intensive motor therapy, which can be performed in a repetiti...

Effectiveness of robotic assisted rehabilitation for mobility and functional ability in adult stroke patients: a systematic review.

JBI database of systematic reviews and implementation reports
BACKGROUND: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, and rehabilitation, involving repetitive, high intensity, task-specific exercises, is the pathway to restoring motor skills. Robotic assistive devices are increasingly being used and it i...
