Development and Verification of Postural Control Assessment Using Deep-Learning-Based Pose Estimators: Towards Clinical Applications.

Occupational therapy international
Occupational therapists evaluate various aspects of a client's occupational performance. Among these, postural control is one of the fundamental skills that need assessment. Recently, several methods have been proposed to estimate postural control ab...

Deep Learning: Predicting Environments From Short-Time Observations of Postural Balance.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
OBJECTIVE: This study introduces a deep learning approach to accurately predict challenging mechanical environments that possibly cause decreasing postural stability.

The effect of robotic rehabilitation on posture and trunk control in non-ambulatory cerebral palsy.

Assistive technology : the official journal of RESNA
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a combined robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) with standard physiotherapy (PT) on trunk control and posture in non-ambulatory children with cerebral palsy (CP). This nonrandomized, controll...

Study on the Effects of Different Seat and Leg Support Conditions of a Trunk Rehabilitation Robot.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Performance of trunk rehabilitation exercises while sitting on movable surfaces with feet on the ground can increase trunk and leg muscle activations, and constraining the feet to move with the seat isolates control of the trunk. However, there are n...

Change in task conditions leads to changes in intermittency in intermittent feedback control employed by CNS in control of human stance.

Biological cybernetics
Event-driven intermittent feedback control is a form of feedback control in which the corrective control action is only initiated intermittently when the variables of interest exceed certain threshold criteria. It has been reported in the literature ...

Acceptability and Preliminary Results of Technology-Assisted Balance Training in Parkinson's Disease.

International journal of environmental research and public health
(1) Background: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is one of the most common causes of disability among older individuals. The advanced stages of PD are usually characterized by postural instability and, as a consequence, falls. Those are among the main factor...

The Effects of Over-Ground Robot-Assisted Gait Training for Children with Ataxic Cerebral Palsy: A Case Report.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Poor balance and ataxic gait are major impediments to independent living in ataxic cerebral palsy (CP). Robot assisted-gait training (RAGT) has been shown to improve the postural balance and gait function in children with CP. However, there is no rep...

Feasibility and tolerance of a robotic postural training to improve standing in a person with ambulatory spinal cord injury.

Spinal cord series and cases
An ambulatory elder with SCI, AIS C, balance deficits, and right ankle-foot-orthosis participated. RobUST-intervention comprised six 90 min-sessions of postural tasks with pelvic assistance and trunk perturbations. We collected three baselines and tw...

Evaluating a new verbal working memory-balance program: a double-blind, randomized controlled trial study on Iranian children with dyslexia.

BMC neuroscience
BACKGROUND: It is important to improve verbal Working Memory (WM) in reading disability, as it is a key factor in learning. There are commercial verbal WM training programs, which have some short-term effects only on the verbal WM capacity, not readi...

Gait training with a wearable curara® robot for cerebellar ataxia: a single-arm study.

Biomedical engineering online
BACKGROUND: Ataxic gait is one of the most common and disabling symptoms in people with degenerative cerebellar ataxia. Intensive and well-coordinated inpatient rehabilitation improves ataxic gait. In addition to therapist-assisted gait training, rob...
