Effect of Robot Assisted Gait Training on Motor and Walking Function in Patients with Subacute Stroke: A Random Controlled Study.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted gait training has been confirmed to have beneficial effect on the rehabilitation of stroke patients. An exoskeleton robot, named BEAR-H1, is designed to help stroke patients with walking disabilities.

Effects of a Soft Robotic Hand for Hand Rehabilitation in Chronic Stroke Survivors.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
OBJECTIVES: Soft robotic hands are proposed for stroke rehabilitation in terms of their high compliance and low inherent stiffness. We investigated the clinical efficacy of a soft robotic hand that could actively flex and extend the fingers in chroni...

Robotic assistive and rehabilitation devices leading to motor recovery in upper limb: a systematic review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Stroke, spinal cord injury and other neuromuscular disorders lead to impairments in the human body. Upper limb impairments, especially hand impairments affect activities of daily living (ADL) and reduce the quality of life. The purpose of th...

Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a combined virtual reality, robotics and electrical stimulation intervention in upper extremity stroke rehabilitation.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Approximately 80% of individuals with chronic stroke present with long lasting upper extremity (UE) impairments. We designed the perSonalized UPper Extremity Rehabilitation (SUPER) intervention, which combines robotics, virtual reality ac...

Unbiased Recursive Partitioning Enables Robust and Reliable Outcome Prediction in Acute Spinal Cord Injury.

Journal of neurotrauma
Neurological disorders usually present very heterogeneous recovery patterns. Nonetheless, accurate prediction of future clinical end-points and robust definition of homogeneous cohorts are necessary for scientific investigation and targeted care. For...

Robotic rehabilitation for end-effector device and botulinum toxin in upper limb rehabilitation in chronic post-stroke patients: an integrated rehabilitative approach.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
BACKGROUND: Determine the effects of an integrated rehabilitation protocol, including botulinum toxin and conventional rehabilitation exercise plus end-effector (EE) robotic training for functional recovery of the upper limb (UL) compared to training...

Reperfusion Therapy in Acute Ischemic Stroke with Active Cancer: A Meta-Analysis Aided by Machine Learning.

Journal of stroke and cerebrovascular diseases : the official journal of National Stroke Association
OBJECTIVES: While the prevalence of active cancer patients experiencing acute stroke is increasing, the effects of active cancer on reperfusion therapy outcomes are inconclusive. Thus, we aimed to compare the safety and outcomes of reperfusion therap...

Evaluating Rehabilitation Progress Using Motion Features Identified by Machine Learning.

IEEE transactions on bio-medical engineering
Evaluating progress throughout a patient's rehabilitation episode is critical for determining the effectiveness of the selected treatments and is an essential ingredient in personalised and evidence-based rehabilitation practice. The evaluation proce...
