Alterations in muscle activation patterns during robot-assisted bilateral training: A pilot study.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
Robot-assisted bilateral training is being developed as a new rehabilitation approach for stroke patients. However, there is still a lack of understanding of muscle functions when performing robot-assisted synchronous movements. The aim of this work ...

Development, Dynamic Modeling, and Multi-Modal Control of a Therapeutic Exoskeleton for Upper Limb Rehabilitation Training.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Robot-assisted training is a promising technology in clinical rehabilitation providing effective treatment to the patients with motor disability. In this paper, a multi-modal control strategy for a therapeutic upper limb exoskeleton is proposed to as...

Predicting the risk of acute care readmissions among rehabilitation inpatients: A machine learning approach.

Journal of biomedical informatics
INTRODUCTION: Readmission from inpatient rehabilitation facilities to acute care hospitals is a serious problem. This study aims to develop a predictive model based on machine learning algorithms to identify patients at high risk of readmission.

Assessing Effectiveness and Costs in Robot-Mediated Lower Limbs Rehabilitation: A Meta-Analysis and State of the Art.

Journal of healthcare engineering
Robots were introduced in rehabilitation in the 90s to meet different needs, that is, reducing the physical effort of therapists. This work consists of a meta-analysis of robot-mediated lower limbs rehabilitation for stroke-affected patients; it aims...

Towards Optimal Platform-Based Robot Design for Ankle Rehabilitation: The State of the Art and Future Prospects.

Journal of healthcare engineering
This review aims to compare existing robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techniques in terms of robot design. Included studies mainly consist of selected papers in two published reviews involving a variety of robot-assisted ankle rehabilitation techn...

Motor and psychosocial impact of robot-assisted gait training in a real-world rehabilitation setting: A pilot study.

PloS one
In the last decade robotic devices have been applied in rehabilitation to overcome walking disability in neurologic diseases with promising results. Robot assisted gait training (RAGT) using the Lokomat seems not only to improve gait parameters but a...

Design and Computational Modeling of a Modular, Compliant Robotic Assembly for Human Lumbar Unit and Spinal Cord Assistance.

Scientific reports
Wearable soft robotic systems are enabling safer human-robot interaction and are proving to be instrumental for biomedical rehabilitation. In this manuscript, we propose a novel, modular, wearable robotic device for human (lumbar) spine assistance th...

State-of-the-art robotic devices for ankle rehabilitation: Mechanism and control review.

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. Part H, Journal of engineering in medicine
There is an increasing research interest in exploring use of robotic devices for the physical therapy of patients suffering from stroke and spinal cord injuries. Rehabilitation of patients suffering from ankle joint dysfunctions such as drop foot is ...
