Locomotor and robotic assistive gait training for children with cerebral palsy.

Developmental medicine and child neurology
AIM: To determine if robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) using surface muscle electrical stimulation and locomotor training enhances mobility outcomes when compared to locomotor training alone in children with cerebral palsy (CP).

Robot Assisted Ankle Neuro-Rehabilitation: State of the art and Future Challenges.

Expert review of neurotherapeutics
: Robot-assisted neuro-rehabilitation is gaining acceptability among the physical therapy community. The ankle is one of the most complicated anatomical joints in the human body and neurologic injuries such as stroke often result in ankle and foot di...

Passive Exercise Adaptation for Ankle Rehabilitation Based on Learning Control Framework.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Ankle injuries are among the most common injuries in sport and daily life. However, for their recovery, it is important for patients to perform rehabilitation exercises. These exercises are usually done with a therapist's guidance to help strengthen ...

Predicting clinically significant motor function improvement after contemporary task-oriented interventions using machine learning approaches.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of motor recovery after stroke is critical for treatment decisions and planning. Machine learning has been proposed to be a promising technique for outcome prediction because of its high accuracy and ability to process...

Evaluation of the enhanced upper limb therapy programme within the Robot-Assisted Training for the Upper Limb after Stroke trial: descriptive analysis of intervention fidelity, goal selection and goal achievement.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To report the fidelity of the enhanced upper limb therapy programme within the Robot-Assisted Training for the Upper Limb after stroke (RATULS) randomized controlled trial, the types of goals selected and the proportion of goals achieved.

Computer Kinesiology: New Diagnostic and Therapeutic Tool for Lower Back Pain Treatment (Pilot Study).

BioMed research international
The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of the diagnostic and therapeutic medical information system Computer Kinesiology in physiotherapy in patients with low back pain who were not responding to conventional therapy. Computer Kin...

A Gesture-Controlled Rehabilitation Robot to Improve Engagement and Quantify Movement Performance.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Rehabilitation requires repetitive and coordinated movements for effective treatment, which are contingent on patient compliance and motivation. However, the monotony, intensity, and expense of most therapy routines do not promote engagement. Gesture...

Using robotic mechanical perturbations for enhanced balance assessment.

Medical engineering & physics
Balance impairment is critical for many patient groups such as those with neural and musculoskeletal disorders and also the elderly. Accurate and objective assessment of balance performance has led to the development of several indices based on the m...

The ReWalk ReStore™ soft robotic exosuit: a multi-site clinical trial of the safety, reliability, and feasibility of exosuit-augmented post-stroke gait rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Atypical walking in the months and years after stroke constrain community reintegration and reduce mobility, health, and quality of life. The ReWalk ReStore™ is a soft robotic exosuit designed to assist the propulsion and ground clearance...
