Robot-Assisted Training of Arm and Hand Movement Shows Functional Improvements for Incomplete Cervical Spinal Cord Injury.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the feasibility, tolerability, and effectiveness of robotic-assisted arm training in incomplete chronic tetraplegia.

Robotic Hand-Assisted Training for Spinal Cord Injury Driven by Myoelectric Pattern Recognition: A Case Report.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
A 51-year-old man with an incomplete C6 spinal cord injury sustained 26 yrs ago attended twenty 2-hr visits over 10 wks for robot-assisted hand training driven by myoelectric pattern recognition. In each visit, his right hand was assisted to perform ...

Effects of dose and duration of Robot-Assisted Gait Training on walking ability of children affected by cerebral palsy.

Technology and health care : official journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine
BACKGROUND: Robot-Assisted Gait Training (RAGT) is a widespread approach for locomotion rehabilitation but information about intervention frequency and duration is still lacking.

Robotic set-up to quantify hand-eye behavior in motor execution and learning of children with autism spectrum disorder.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistence of social and communication impairment, and restricted and repetitive behaviors. However, motor disorders have also been described, but not ob...

A novel pneumatic stimulator for the investigation of noise-enhanced proprioception.

IEEE ... International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics : [proceedings]
Executing coordinated movements requires that motor and sensory systems cooperate to achieve a motor goal. Impairment of either system may lead to unstable and/or inaccurate movements. In rehabilitation training, however, most approaches have focused...

Use of Lower-Limb Robotics to Enhance Practice and Participation in Individuals With Neurological Conditions.

Pediatric physical therapy : the official publication of the Section on Pediatrics of the American Physical Therapy Association
PURPOSE: To review lower-limb technology currently available for people with neurological disorders, such as spinal cord injury, stroke, or other conditions. We focus on 3 emerging technologies: treadmill-based training devices, exoskeletons, and oth...

Development of a Robotic System for Enhancing Children's Motivation in Constraint Induced Movement Therapy (CIMT).

Studies in health technology and informatics
This paper presents a novel robotic system, which aims to enhance children's motivation through the gamification of the CIMT process. The system offers adjustability of the required movement skills, ensuring children will put increasingly more effort...

Robotic-assisted locomotor training enhances ankle performance in adults with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: Ankle joint control plays an important role in independent walking. This study investigated the effects of robotic-assisted locomotor training on impaired ankle joint control in individuals with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Model-based assistance-as-needed for robotic movement therapy after stroke.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
This paper extends an adaptive control approach for robotic movement therapy that learns deficiencies in a patient's neuromuscular output and assists accordingly. In this method, adaptation is based on trajectory tracking error and a model of unimpai...
