Robot-Applied Resistance Augments the Effects of Body Weight-Supported Treadmill Training on Stepping and Synaptic Plasticity in a Rodent Model of Spinal Cord Injury.

Neurorehabilitation and neural repair
BACKGROUND: The application of resistive forces has been used during body weight-supported treadmill training (BWSTT) to improve walking function after spinal cord injury (SCI). Whether this form of training actually augments the effects of BWSTT is ...

Robot-Assisted Training for People With Spinal Cord Injury: A Meta-Analysis.

Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of robot-assisted training on the recovery of people with spinal cord injury (SCI).

The Hybrid Assistive Limb® intervention for a postoperative patient with spinal dural arteriovenous fistula and chronic spinal cord injury: A case study.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
CONTEXT: The purpose of this report was to describe the improvement in walking ability using the Hybrid Assistive Limb® (HAL®) intervention in the case of a patient with paraplegia after spinal cord injury whose condition deteriorated because of a sp...

Neuromechanical adaptations during a robotic powered exoskeleton assisted walking session.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate gait parameters and neuromuscular profiles of exoskeleton-assisted walking under Max Assist condition during a single-session for; (i) able bodied (AB) individuals walking assisted with (EXO) and without (non-EXO) a powered exo...

Overground vs. treadmill-based robotic gait training to improve seated balance in people with motor-complete spinal cord injury: a case report.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Robotic overground gait training devices, such as the Ekso, require users to actively participate in triggering steps through weight-shifting movements. It remains unknown how much the trunk muscles are activated during these movements, a...

Robot-assisted gait training (Lokomat) improves walking function and activity in people with spinal cord injury: a systematic review.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
UNLABELLED: Robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) after spinal cord injury (SCI) induces several different neurophysiological mechanisms to restore walking ability, including the activation of central pattern generators, task-specific stepping practice...

In-lab versus at-home activity recognition in ambulatory subjects with incomplete spinal cord injury.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Although commercially available activity trackers can aid in tracking therapy and recovery of patients, most devices perform poorly for patients with irregular movement patterns. Standard machine learning techniques can be applied on reco...

Local and Remote Cooperation With Virtual and Robotic Agents: A P300 BCI Study in Healthy and People Living With Spinal Cord Injury.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
The development of technological applications that allow people to control and embody external devices within social interaction settings represents a major goal for current and future brain-computer interface (BCI) systems. Prior research has sugges...

The immediate effects of robot-assistance on energy consumption and cardiorespiratory load during walking compared to walking without robot-assistance: a systematic review.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: The integration of sufficient cardiovascular stress into robot-assisted gait (RAG) training could combine the benefits of both RAG and aerobic training. The aim was to summarize literature data on the immediate effects of RAG compared to wal...
