Robotically assisted treadmill exercise training for improving peak fitness in chronic motor incomplete spinal cord injury: A randomized controlled trial.

The journal of spinal cord medicine
OBJECTIVE: To assess the effectiveness of robotically assisted body weight supported treadmill training (RABWSTT) for improving cardiovascular fitness in chronic motor incomplete spinal cord injury (CMISCI).

Restoration of gait for spinal cord injury patients using HAL with intention estimator for preferable swing speed.

IEEE transactions on neural systems and rehabilitation engineering : a publication of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
This paper proposes a novel gait intention estimator for an exoskeleton-wearer who needs gait support owing to walking impairment. The gait intention estimator not only detects the intention related to the start of the swing leg based on the behavior...

Work-rate-guided exercise testing in patients with incomplete spinal cord injury using a robotics-assisted tilt-table.

Disability and rehabilitation. Assistive technology
PURPOSE: Robotics-assisted tilt-table (RTT) technology allows neurological rehabilitation therapy to be started early thus alleviating some secondary complications of prolonged bed rest. This study assessed the feasibility of a novel work-rate-guided...

Mesenchymal stem cell transplantation ameliorates inflammation in spinal cord injury by inhibiting lactylation-related genes.

Cytokine
BACKGROUND: The immune microenvironment significantly influences neural regeneration in spinal cord injury (SCI). Lactate activates central nervous system (CNS) glial cells, prompting the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines and triggering an infla...

Research on multi-algorithm and explainable AI techniques for predictive modeling of acute spinal cord injury using multimodal data.

Scientific reports
Machine learning technology has been extensively applied in the medical field, particularly in the context of disease prediction and patient rehabilitation assessment. Acute spinal cord injury (ASCI) is a sudden trauma that frequently results in seve...

Identification of needs for an assistive robotic arm in individuals with tetraplegia: a mixed-methods approach.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: A severe spinal cord injury (SCI) can profoundly affect an individual's physical abilities and social independence. For individuals living with tetraplegia, an assistive robotic arm offers the potential to restore some autonomy and reduce...

SCIseg: Automatic Segmentation of Intramedullary Lesions in Spinal Cord Injury on T2-weighted MRI Scans.

Radiology. Artificial intelligence
Purpose To develop a deep learning tool for the automatic segmentation of the spinal cord and intramedullary lesions in spinal cord injury (SCI) on T2-weighted MRI scans. Materials and Methods This retrospective study included MRI data acquired betwe...

[Research status of lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robot].

Sheng wu yi xue gong cheng xue za zhi = Journal of biomedical engineering = Shengwu yixue gongchengxue zazhi
Lower limb exoskeleton rehabilitation robots are used to improve or restore the walking and movement ability of people with lower limb movement disorders. However, the required functions for patients differ based on various diseases. For example, pat...

Robotically adjustable kinematics in a wrist-driven orthosis eases grasping across tasks.

Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. Annual International Conference
Without finger function, people with C5-7 spinal cord injury (SCI) regularly utilize wrist extension to passively close the fingers and thumb together for grasping. Wearable assistive grasping devices often focus on this familiar wrist-driven techniq...

Prediction of gait recovery using machine learning algorithms in patients with spinal cord injury.

Medicine
With advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning (ML) has been widely applied to predict functional outcomes in clinical medicine. However, there has been no attempt to predict walking ability after spinal cord injury (SCI) based on ML. In ...
