Effects of periodic robot rehabilitation using the Hybrid Assistive Limb for a year on gait function in chronic stroke patients.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
Using a robot for gait training in stroke patients has attracted attention for the last several decades. Previous studies reported positive effects of robot rehabilitation on gait function in the short term. However, the long-term effects of robot re...

Beyond motor recovery after stroke: The role of hand robotic rehabilitation plus virtual reality in improving cognitive function.

Journal of clinical neuroscience : official journal of the Neurosurgical Society of Australasia
Robot-assisted hand training adopting end-effector devices results in an additional reduction of motor impairment in comparison to usual care alone in different stages of stroke recovery. These devices often allow the patient to perform practical, at...

Effect of Robot-Assisted Therapy on Participation of People with Limited Upper Limb Functioning: A Systematic Review with GRADE Recommendations.

Occupational therapy international
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have suggested that robot-assisted therapy (RT) is effective in treating impairment and that it may also improve individuals' participation.

Towards an Optimal Footprint Based Area Coverage Strategy for a False-Ceiling Inspection Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
False-ceiling inspection is a critical factor in pest-control management within a built infrastructure. Conventionally, the false-ceiling inspection is done manually, which is time-consuming and unsafe. A lightweight robot is considered a good soluti...

Affective Communication for Socially Assistive Robots (SARs) for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder: A Systematic Review.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Research on affective communication for socially assistive robots has been conducted to enable physical robots to perceive, express, and respond emotionally. However, the use of affective computing in social robots has been limited, especially when s...

Robot-assisted enucleation of a giant submucosal tumor in the upper esophagus.

Asian journal of endoscopic surgery
Few reports have demonstrated robotic surgery for large tumors in the upper esophagus. We report a case of a 52-year-old woman with a giant submucosal tumor in the upper esophagus successfully enucleated using robotic surgery. She presented with odyn...

Efficacy of da Vinci robot-assisted lymph node surgery than conventional axillary lymph node dissection in breast cancerĀ - A comparative study.

The international journal of medical robotics + computer assisted surgery : MRCAS
BACKGROUND: da Vinci robot-assisted axillary lymph node dissection (dVALND) can be a minimally invasive technique to minimize post-operative complications.

The Use of Augmented Reality to Guide the Intraoperative Frozen Section During Robot-assisted Radical Prostatectomy.

European urology
BACKGROUND: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) can guide the surgical plan during robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP), and intraoperative frozen section (IFS) can facilitate real-time surgical margin assessment.

The early ontogeny of infants' imitation of on screen humans and robots.

Infant behavior & development
Traditionally, infants have learned how to interact with objects in their environment through direct observations of adults and peers. In recent decades these models have been available over different media, and this has introduced non-human agents t...

Design and Experimental Characterization of L-CADEL v2, an Assistive Device for Elbow Motion.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
An experimental characterization is presented for an improved version of a wearable assistive device for elbow motion. The design is revised with respect to requirements for elbow motion assistance, looking at applications both in rehabilitation ther...
