Advanced rehabilitation in ischaemic stroke research.

Stroke and vascular neurology
At present, due to the rapid progress of treatment technology in the acute phase of ischaemic stroke, the mortality of patients has been greatly reduced but the number of disabled survivors is increasing, and most of them are elderly patients. Physic...

Physical therapists' perceptions and attitudes towards artificial intelligence in healthcare and rehabilitation: A qualitative study.

Musculoskeletal science & practice
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) is being introduced to rehabilitation practices, and it can optimize the patient's outcome through their ability to design personalized care strategies and interventions.

Therapists' perspective on acceptance of robot-assisted physical rehabilitation in a middle-income country: a study from Vietnam.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
Robot-assisted physical rehabilitation offers promising benefits for patients, yet its adoption among therapists remains a complex challenge. This study investigates the acceptance of robot-assisted physical rehabilitation technology among therapists...

Treatment with robot-assisted gait trainer Walkbot along with physiotherapy vs. isolated physiotherapy in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy. Experimental study.

BMC neurology
BACKGROUND: Improving walking ability is a key objective in the treatment of children and adolescents with cerebral palsy, since it directly affects their activity and participation. In recent years, robotic technology has been implemented in gait tr...

Large language models in physical therapy: time to adapt and adept.

Frontiers in public health
Healthcare is experiencing a transformative phase, with artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). Physical therapists (PTs) stand on the brink of a paradigm shift in education, practice, and research. Rather than visualizing AI as a thr...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training using the Welwalk on gait independence for individuals with hemiparetic stroke: an assessor-blinded, multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Gait disorder remains a major challenge for individuals with stroke, affecting their quality of life and increasing the risk of secondary complications. Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) has emerged as a promising approach for improving...

ROBot-assisted physical training of older patients during acUte hospitaliSaTion-study protocol for a randomised controlled trial (ROBUST).

Trials
BACKGROUND: During hospitalisation, older patients spend most of their time passive in bed, which increases the risk of functional decline and negative adverse outcomes. Our aim is to examine the impact of robot-assisted physical training on function...

Fall risk classification with posturographic parameters in community-dwelling older adults: a machine learning and explainable artificial intelligence approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Computerized posturography obtained in standing conditions has been applied to classify fall risk for older adults or disease groups. Combining machine learning (ML) approaches is superior to traditional regression analysis for its abilit...

Analysis of static plantar pressure data with capsule networks: Diagnosing ataxia in MS patients with a deep learning-based approach.

Multiple sclerosis and related disorders
In this study, it was aimed to detect ataxia in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) by utilizing static plantar pressure data and capsule networks (CapsNet), one of the deep learning (DL) architectures. CapsNet is also equipped with a robust dynami...
