Facilitatory effects of anti-spastic medication on robotic locomotor training in people with chronic incomplete spinal cord injury.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to investigate whether an anti-spasticity medication can facilitate the effects of robotic locomotor treadmill training (LTT) to improve gait function in people with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).

A novel device for studying weight supported, quadrupedal overground locomotion in spinal cord injured rats.

Journal of neuroscience methods
BACKGROUND: Providing weight support facilitates locomotion in spinal cord injured animals. To control weight support, robotic systems have been developed for treadmill stepping and more recently for overground walking.

Modeling and motion compensation of a bidirectional tendon-sheath actuated system for robotic endoscopic surgery.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
Recent study shows that tendon-sheath system (TSS) has great potential in the development of surgical robots for endoscopic surgery. It is able to deliver adequate power in a light-weight and compact package. And the flexibility and compliance of the...

First Trimester Laparoscopic Cerclage.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review the indications, rationale, and technique for abdominal cerclage, specifically focusing on a laparoscopic approach to this procedure during the first trimester of pregnancy.

The HAAPI (Home Arm Assistance Progression Initiative) Trial: A Novel Robotics Delivery Approach in Stroke Rehabilitation.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: Geographical location, socioeconomic status, and logistics surrounding transportation impede access of poststroke individuals to comprehensive rehabilitative services. Robotic therapy may enhance telerehabilitation by delivering consisten...

Lokomat training in vascular dementia: motor improvement and beyond!

Aging clinical and experimental research
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 ...

Robotic-assisted Abdominal Cerclage Placement During Pregnancy and Its Challenges.

Journal of minimally invasive gynecology
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate a surgical video of 2 cases, in which the steps of robotic-assisted abdominal cerclage placement were delineated in one and a uterine vessel injury was repaired in the other.

Mechanical characterization of bone anchors used with a bone-attached, parallel robot for skull surgery.

Medical engineering & physics
Bone-attached robots and microstereotactic frames, intended for deep brain stimulation and minimally invasive cochlear implantation, typically attach to a patient's skull via bone anchors. A rigid and reliable link between such devices and the skull ...

Comparing the efficacy and safety between robotic-assisted versus open pyeloplasty in children: a systemic review and meta-analysis.

World journal of urology
OBJECTIVE: This manuscript is mainly to systemically review the published reports that compared the efficacy and safety of robotic-assisted (RP) versus open pyeloplasty (OP) in children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction (UPJO).
