Assessing the concurrent validity of a gait analysis system integrated into a smart walker in older adults with gait impairments.

Clinical rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To assess the concurrent validity of a smart walker-integrated gait analysis system with the GAITRite system for measuring spatiotemporal gait parameters in potential users of the smart walker.

Surgical Approaches to the Adrenal Gland.

The Surgical clinics of North America
Adrenalectomy can be performed open, endoscopically or robotically, utilizing a transabdominal or retroperitoneal approach. This chapter describes the relevant anatomy, various approaches and surgical techniques, pre-operative work-up and optimizatio...

Effect of verticalization with Erigo® in the acute rehabilitation of severe acquired brain injury.

Neurological sciences : official journal of the Italian Neurological Society and of the Italian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology
The recovery of the orthostatism after a severe acquired brain injury (sABI) is an essential objective to pursue in order to avoid the occurrence of secondary complications resulting from prolonged immobilization to which the patient is subjected dur...

Long-Dose Intensive Therapy Is Necessary for Strong, Clinically Significant, Upper Limb Functional Gains and Retained Gains in Severe/Moderate Chronic Stroke.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
. Effective treatment methods are needed for moderate/severely impairment chronic stroke. . The questions were the following: (1) Is there need for long-dose therapy or is there a mid-treatment plateau? (2) Are the observed gains from the prior-studi...

A force-measuring and behaviour-recording system consisting of 24 individual 3D force plates for the study of single limb forces in climbing animals on a quasi-cylindrical tower.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This study describes the design of a new force measuring array with a quasi-cylindrical surface for measuring the 3D ground reaction forces of animals climbing on a surface with high curvature. This force-measuring array was assembled from 24 individ...

Child and parent perceptions of acceptability and therapeutic value of a socially assistive robot used during pediatric rehabilitation.

Disability and rehabilitation
Socially assistive robots are emerging as a method of supporting the rehabilitation of children with physical disabilities. To date there has been no in-depth analysis of parent and child perspectives regarding the use of socially assistive robots f...

A Virtual Sensor for Collision Detection and Distinction with Conventional Industrial Robots.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Physical contact inevitably occurs during robot interaction with outside environments. A robot should have the ability to detect and distinguish whether a physical interaction between a human and the robot is contact or collision, so as to ensure hum...

Robot assisted training for the upper limb after stroke (RATULS): a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

Lancet (London, England)
BACKGROUND: Loss of arm function is a common problem after stroke. Robot-assisted training might improve arm function and activities of daily living. We compared the clinical effectiveness of robot-assisted training using the MIT-Manus robotic gym wi...
