Robotic manipulation of human bipedalism reveals overlapping internal representations of space and time.

Science robotics
Effective control of bipedal postures relies on sensory inputs from the past, which encode dynamic changes in the spatial properties of our movement over time. To uncover how the spatial and temporal properties of an upright posture interact in the p...

High-intensity interval training with robot-assisted gait therapy vs. treadmill gait therapy in chronic stroke: a randomized controlled trial.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability, significantly impacting patients' mobility and quality of life. Robot-assisted gait therapy (RAGT) and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) have individually shown potential in improvin...

The efficiency of sensory systems in postural control of children with and without hearing or visual impairments.

PloS one
Limited evidence exists on the efficiency of the sensory systems of children with sensory impairment. The purpose of this study was to examine the sensory systems involved in postural control of male children with hearing (HI) or visual impairments (...

The improved extrapolated center of mass enhances the safety of exoskeleton system.

Scientific reports
Maintaining the balance and safety of the exoskeleton human-robot coupling system is a prerequisite for realizing the rehabilitation training function. Therefore, research on the balance of lower limb exoskeleton robots has attracted much attention. ...

Remote monitoring of Tai Chi balance training interventions in older adults using wearable sensors and machine learning.

Scientific reports
Tai Chi, an Asian martial art, is renowned for its health benefits, particularly in promoting healthy aging among older adults, improving balance, and reducing fall risk. However, methodological challenges hinder the objective measurement of adherenc...

Deep learning-based classification of hemiplegia and diplegia in cerebral palsy using postural control analysis.

Scientific reports
Cerebral palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects mobility and motor control, presenting significant challenges for accurate diagnosis, particularly in cases of hemiplegia and diplegia. This study proposes a method of classification utiliz...

Effect of Wearable Robot-Assisted Gait Training on Balance and Walking Ability in Subacute Stroke Patients.

American journal of physical medicine & rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the effectiveness of wearable robot-assisted gait training compared to treadmill gait training for improving balance and walking ability in stroke patients.

The Impact of Human-Robot Collaboration Levels on Postural Stability During Working Tasks Performed While Standing: Experimental Study.

JMIR human factors
BACKGROUND: The integration of collaborative robots (cobots) in industrial settings has the potential to enhance worker safety and efficiency by improving postural control and reducing biomechanical risk. Understanding the specific impacts of varying...

Sway frequencies may predict postural instability in Parkinson's disease: a novel convolutional neural network approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Postural instability greatly reduces quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease (PD). Early and objective detection of postural impairments is crucial to facilitate interventions. Our aim was to use a convolutional neural network ...

Robot-Assisted Gait Training in Older Patients with Comorbid Conditions: A Pilot Study.

Experimental aging research
PURPOSE: This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) in older patients with neurological gait disorder accompanied by various comorbidities.
