LOPES II--Design and Evaluation of an Admittance Controlled Gait Training Robot With Shadow-Leg Approach.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Dec 31, 2015
Robotic gait training is gaining ground in rehabilitation. Room for improvement lies in reducing donning and doffing time, making training more task specific and facilitating active balance control, and by allowing movement in more degrees of freedom...
Multiscale entropy identifies differences in complexity in postural control in women with multiple sclerosis.
Gait & posture
Dec 24, 2015
Loss of postural center-of-pressure complexity (COP complexity) has been associated with reduced adaptability that accompanies disease and aging. The aim of this study was to identify if COP complexity is reduced: (1) in those with Multiple Sclerosis...
Postural visual dependence in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients without peripheral neuropathy during a postural challenging task.
Journal of diabetes and its complications
Dec 18, 2015
UNLABELLED: Increasing evidence indicates that diabetes may negatively affect vestibular function, and postural control more so under postural challenging conditions. Healthy and diabetic subjects were compared on visual control of posture during a p...
Extracting motor synergies from random movements for low-dimensional task-space control of musculoskeletal robots.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Oct 8, 2015
In the field of human motor control, the motor synergy hypothesis explains how humans simplify body control dimensionality by coordinating groups of muscles, called motor synergies, instead of controlling muscles independently. In most applications o...
Characterization of unexpected postural changes during robot-assisted gait training in paraplegic patients.
Spinal cord
Aug 11, 2015
STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective study.
Once-per-step control of ankle-foot prosthesis push-off work reduces effort associated with balance during walking.
Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
May 1, 2015
BACKGROUND: Individuals with below-knee amputation have more difficulty balancing during walking, yet few studies have explored balance enhancement through active prosthesis control. We previously used a dynamical model to show that prosthetic ankle ...
Effects of Innovative WALKBOT Robotic-Assisted Locomotor Training on Balance and Gait Recovery in Hemiparetic Stroke: A Prospective, Randomized, Experimenter Blinded Case Control Study With a Four-Week Follow-Up.
IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Apr 2, 2015
The present clinical investigation was to ascertain whether the effects of WALKBOT-assisted locomotor training (WLT) on balance, gait, and motor recovery were superior or similar to the conventional locomotor training (CLT) in patients with hemiparet...
Lokomat training in vascular dementia: motor improvement and beyond!
Aging clinical and experimental research
Mar 12, 2015
Vascular dementia (VaD) is a general term describing problems with reasoning, planning, judgment, memory, and other thought processes caused by brain damage from impaired blood flow to the brain. Cognitive rehabilitation and physical therapy are the ...
Stretch reflex improves rolling stability during hopping of a decerebrate biped system.
Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Jan 19, 2015
When humans hop, attitude recovery can be observed in both the sagittal and frontal planes. While it is agreed that the brain plays an important role in leg placement, the role of low-level feedback (the stretch reflex) on frontal plane stabilization...
Robot-assisted gait training is not superior to balance training for improving postural instability in patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease: a single-blind randomized controlled trial.
Clinical rehabilitation
Jul 31, 2014
OBJECTIVE: The main aim was to compare robotic gait training vs. balance training for reducing postural instability in patients with Parkinson's disease. The secondary aim was to compare their effects on the level of confidence during activities of d...
