Robot-Assisted Gait Training Plan for Patients in Poststroke Recovery Period: A Single Blind Randomized Controlled Trial.

BioMed research international
BACKGROUND: Walking dysfunction exists in most patients after stroke. Evidence regarding gait training in two weeks is scarce in resource-limited settings; this study was conducted to investigate the effects of a short-term robot-assisted gait traini...

Use of machine learning method on automatic classification of motor subtype of Parkinson's disease based on multilevel indices of rs-fMRI.

Parkinsonism & related disorders
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop an automatic classifier to distinguish different motor subtypes of Parkinson's disease (PD) based on multilevel indices of resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI).

Early balance impairment in Parkinson's Disease: Evidence from Robot-assisted axial rotations.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVE: Early postural instability (PI) is a red flag for the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Several patients, however, fall within the first three years of disease, particularly when turning. We investigated whether PD patients, without c...

Stability threshold during seated balancing is sensitive to low back pain and safe to assess.

Journal of biomechanics
Challenging trunk neuromuscular control maximally using a seated balancing task is useful for unmasking impairments that may go unnoticed with traditional postural sway measures and appears to be safe to assess in healthy individuals. This study inve...

Detection of Postural Control in Young and Elderly Adults Using Deep and Machine Learning Methods with Joint-Node Plots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Postural control decreases with aging. Thus, an efficient and accurate method of detecting postural control is needed. We enrolled 35 elderly adults (aged 82.06 ± 8.74 years) and 20 healthy young adults (aged 21.60 ± 0.60 years) who performed standin...

Effects of robot-assisted gait training on postural instability in Parkinson's disease: a systematic review.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
INTRODUCTION: Postural instability is a cardinal feature of Parkinson's disease, together with rest tremor, rigidity and bradykinesia. It is a highly disabling symptom that becomes increasingly common with disease progression and represents a major s...

Toward improving functional recovery in spinal cord injury using robotics: a pilot study focusing on ankle rehabilitation.

Expert review of medical devices
BACKGROUND: Conventional physical therapy interventions are strongly recommended to improve ambulation potential and upright mobility in persons with incomplete spinal cord injury (iSCI). Ankle rehabilitation plays a significant role, as it aims to s...

The Influence of EMG-Triggered Robotic Movement on Walking, Muscle Force and Spasticity after an Ischemic Stroke.

Medicina (Kaunas, Lithuania)
: Application of the EMG-driven robotic training in everyday therapeutic processes is a modern and innovative form of neurorehabilitation among patients after stroke. Active participation of the patient contributes to significantly higher activation ...

Revealing posturographic profile of patients with Parkinsonian syndromes through a novel hypothesis testing framework based on machine learning.

PloS one
Falling in Parkinsonian syndromes (PS) is associated with postural instability and consists a common cause of disability among PS patients. Current posturographic practices record the body's center-of-pressure displacement (statokinesigram) while the...

Effectiveness of robotic balance training on postural instability in patients with mild Parkinson's disease: A pilot, single blind, randomized controlled trial.

Journal of rehabilitation medicine
OBJECTIVE: To examine whether tailored robotic platform training could improve postural stability compared with conventional balance treatment in patients with mild Parkinson's disease.  Design: Randomized single-blind pilot study.
