Assisting hand function after spinal cord injury with a fabric-based soft robotic glove.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury is a devastating condition that can dramatically impact hand motor function. Passive and active assistive devices are becoming more commonly used to enhance lost hand strength and dexterity. Soft robotics is an emerging...

Prediction of central neuropathic pain in spinal cord injury based on EEG classifier.

Clinical neurophysiology : official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology
OBJECTIVES: To create a classifier based on electroencephalography (EEG) to identify spinal cord injured (SCI) participants at risk of developing central neuropathic pain (CNP) by comparing them with patients who had already developed pain and with a...

Robot-Guided Neuronavigated Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) in Central Neuropathic Pain.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVES: To confirm and extend previous results involving repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) aimed at alleviating refractory central neuropathic pain (CNP). To evaluate pain relief in detail and to assess ongoing benefits after on...

Training for mobility with exoskeleton robot in spinal cord injury patients: a pilot study.

European journal of physical and rehabilitation medicine
BACKGROUND: Wearable robots are people-oriented robots designed to be worn all day, thus helping in the daily activities. They can assist in walking, running, jumping higher or even lifting objects too heavy in normal conditions.

The effects of robot assisted gait training on temporal-spatial characteristics of people with spinal cord injuries: A systematic review.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: Robotic assisted gait training (RAGT) technology can be used as a rehabilitation tool or as an assistive device for spinal cord injured (SCI) individuals. Its impact on upright stepping characteristics of SCI individuals using treadmill or o...

Robot-assisted upper extremity rehabilitation for cervical spinal cord injuries: a systematic scoping review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
UNLABELLED: Abstact Purpose: To provide an overview of the feasibility and outcomes of robotic-assisted upper extremity training for individuals with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI), and to identify gaps in current research and articulate future re...

Robotic assisted gait as a tool for rehabilitation of individuals with spinal cord injury: a systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Spinal cord injury (SCI) is characterized by a total or partial deficit of sensory and motor pathways. Impairments of this injury compromise muscle recruitment and motor planning, thus reducing functional capacity. SCI patients commonly p...

Walking speed is not the best outcome to evaluate the effect of robotic assisted gait training in people with motor incomplete Spinal Cord Injury: A Systematic Review with meta-analysis.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: While there are previous systematic reviews on the effectiveness of the use of robotic-assisted gait training (RAGT) in people with spinal cord injuries (SCI), as this is a dynamic field, new studies have been produced that are now incorpora...

How does wearable robotic exoskeleton affect overground walking performance measured with the 10-m and six-minute walk tests after a basic locomotor training in healthy individuals?

Gait & posture
It is still unknown to what extent overground walking with a WRE is equivalent to natural overground walking without a WRE. Hence, the interpretability of the 10-m (10MWT) and six-minute (6MWT) walk tests during overground walking with a WRE against ...
